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???

Review is for Ristorante Timeo. Views were great but we got there too late to see the sunset…read more Admittedly, I knew the food was going to be subpar relative to how expensive it is. 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.

We went to the rooftop restaurant. We were greeted by Luigi and given a wonderful table with a view of the Ionic and the full moon. We chose the fish croquettes as our appetizer. They were outstanding, and so delicious. I had the baby lamb chops as my entree, delicious. Our friend chose the pasta with Lamb Ragu which was outstanding. We then chose the desserts, all works of art and so delicious. The wait staff could not be accommodating, my wife wanted a French 75 which they made for her. I am recommending this as a must go restaurant in Taormina.

Came here with a group and everyone really enjoyed their dishes. I had been in Taormina for a few days and was on the hunt for the best cannolo. We went here on our last night and at last, the best cannolo I had on my trip. Highly recommend dinner here.

We had a nice and spacious room on the ground floor with a table just outside of our door, where to drink the last beers of the nights and chatting before sleeping. Catania night life is also a very good option especially for 4 girls like us. I do recommend the Globetrotter and this city for a gate away.

Both present for your eyes while having breakfast, dinner or take a swim in the pool. The great Sicilian nature surrounds you at this family own hotel, just outside the town of Zafferana, a region famous for its honey. You will find a hotel with a touch of country style, where everything is in perfect order, without striving for luxury. As soon as you arrive you are met and welcomed by one of the family members and this is one of the great advantages with a stay here. You are met with openness, respect and at the same time taking care of in a very warm and generous way. You can come here and spend your days relaxing by the pool or as a base for trips up to the top of Etna, down to the beaches of the Mediterranean See or go wherever you like to meet the Etna Land. The rooms are very convenient with the air conditioning working perfectly. Breakfast includes in a rich way everything you expect in a place like Sicily. In the evening dinner is served, very tasteful with again a certain rustic feeling. There is of course no place that suits everyone in taste and preference, but Antico Borgo Petralia covers everything except being a swinging lively and eruptive arena. The last thing though not really true as Etna constantly makes herself present. But no, you don't have to be afraid of lava coming to catch you. Antico Borgo Petralia is built on the side of a rock high over where lava streams, if it should come further than to Valle di Bove, the huge valley above, which historically swallows most of the lava. As a frequent traveller in Sicily I can warmly recommend Antico Borgo Petralia. It is one of the best hotels on the Island, when you prefer to share its richness, beauty and dynamic power.
