Belmond Grand Hotel Timeo by Signature

Set high in the rocky hills on the east coast of Sicily, Belmond Grand Hotel Timeo has long been a favorite destination of glamorous European and Hollywood stars, from Sophia Loren to Marcello Mastroianni and from Audrey Hepburn to Elizabeth Taylor. As the first hotel to be built in Taormina, it naturally sits in the most perfect location, directly in front of the Greek Theater and with sweeping views of the coastline and majestic Mount Etna. Today it is also enveloped in acres of lush parkland and is famous for its "Literary Terrace", a meeting point for illustrious guests through the years. Surrounded by beautiful terraced gardens, the heated pool is open daily during the summer.
