Grand Hotel Timeo, A Belmond Hotel, Taormina

Historic town hotel by the Greek Theatre with pet bed and bowl

This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.

Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
Taormina's first hotel, open since 1873, set in a six-acre park next to the ancient Greek Theatre with views to Mount Etna and the coast. Rooms carry period furnishings and most have a private terrace, and there is a Michelin-starred restaurant. It suits dog owners who want the town's most storied address rather than the beach. Small dogs are welcomed with a bed and water bowl.

Why it's in the collection

The hotel's six-acre park of magnolia, cypress and palm is calm for lead walks, and the Villa Comunale gardens and Corso Umberto are a short stroll. This is a hilltop position, so expect stairs and steep lanes. The cable car down to Mazzarò and Isola Bella beach is a walk away.

Best suited for

Small dogs under 10 kg welcome in rooms but not in the pool, lobby, bar, restaurant or beach areas.

The open question

How the welcome translates in person, at dinner and around the hotel. That's what a Daisy stay will confirm.
