There is not a star rating high enough to express how wonderful this hotel is!…read more We were fortunate to stay here for 3 nights on our honeymoon in October of 2022. The building and the setting are absolutely beautiful. We had a room with a balcony that offered incredible views of Mt Etna, the sea, and the amphitheater. The rooms are exceptionally appointed. Ours had a large walk-in closet, a sitting room area equipped with TV and mini bar (plus Nespresso machine), a beautiful bedroom and a very large bathroom. I think the biggest highlight of this room was the balcony, where we took our breakfast every morning. The staff at Timeo seem to be highly committed to creating an experience of excellence for guests. Every morning for breakfast, a butler or two would come to our room, set up a beautiful table on the patio for us and provide all the food we ordered (which, by the way, was included in our room rate and did NOT cost extra! It almost seemed too good to be true.) You want scrambled eggs for breakfast? Done. A plate of prosciutto? No problem. A basket of pastries and a big glass of lemon granita? Done and done. I don't think any breakfast will ever top the ones we had here. We originally had reserved a table at Otto Geleng, but decided upon arrival that we'd rather have a more relaxed (and admittedly, cheaper) meal at Timeo's other restaurant. I would love to experience Otto Geleng in the future, but we have no regrets about the choice we made at the time. The restaurant is beautifully situated on a patio overlooking the town, the volcano, and the sea. You could not have a more romantic setting! The food and service was exceptional. I recall having a lobster pasta that was prepared tableside for me, and some very excellent Sicilian wine. A few additional touches that really put this place over the top for me: slippers and robes included in the rooms; turndown service; the Acqua di Parma bath products; the comfortable lounge chairs on our patio; the beautiful gardens; the beautiful, historic architecture; did I mention the breakfast???

We went for views, not food. However, since it was too dark to see shit, we focused on the food and... well... it was subpar for what we paid. So there's that.

Go down to the private beach accessible only to guests where full bar service is available. If you are hungry, stop by the restaurant next door and get the seafood linguini. Rooms are beautifully designed in classic old-world Italian style. Bathroom fixtures are of high quality. Great place to stay to be close to the beach but away from the touristy craziness from the Main Street: corso umberto.

On the second day of our stay we have noticed that someone has tempered w the safe and when checked we found that some of the money ( in dollars and euros) were missing. When we reported to the management we were told that it is not possible and that they will check cameras in the hotel. 2 days later we are told that there are no cameras anywhere near the room or elevators and no one can track activities there. We left w nothing, No apologies no compensation for the money that was stolen. Nothing. To top that, when a few days later we saw the post of another couple that stayed in the hotel during the same time and was also robbed, the respond of the management was cold and absolutely unapologetic. Both of us were dismissed and since we are from another county they feel they can get away. Please be aware when you booking an expensive room at this hotel. Watch after your belongings, cause clearly the management of the hotel doesn't care!

Our room (#205) was considerably smaller than EVERYONE else's room - I have no idea why we got the shoebox. Single bowl sink. No vanity - none. No tub - just a tiny/cramped shower with an odd step-up & down entry. The room did have a nice sized terrace with an excellent view. The housekeeping staff was excellent. The buffet breakfast had a wide variety of choices, something for everyone. Our only gripe was coffee service. It was slooow. Perhaps the pots for each table were brewed individually/serially? Will we return? Probably not. We prefer to be closer to the center of Taormina.
