Italy-Sicily Sicily is black and white and a million shades of gray. There's no other place on Earth like it. The island is a unique place full of art, archeology, history, folklore and breathtaking scenery. And, of course, great food. It's almost a nation unto itself. The enchanting land where Archimedes taught and Saint Paul preached was a Greek colony, a Roman province, an Arab emirate and a Norman kingdom. The Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Swabians, Angevins, Aragonese and Jews made this unique island their own, leaving behind an eclectic history that you can still touch today. And Sicily will touch you.

Set high in the rocky hills on the east coast of Sicily, Grand Hotel Timeo has long been a favourite 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 Theatre 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.

Built by an aristocratic family in 1830, the Villa, surrounded by lush, subtropical gardens, retains all the charm of a private residence.
