The staff and the Italian hospitality delivers throughout our stay. The planning / correspondence with the concierge was great. I have all the meals and activities planned out about 2 weeks ahead of my stay. Recommend to also arrange your pick up from the airport (we regrettably did not - and the taxi ride was 180 Euro, more than a Four Seasons pick up in a Mercedes. We have the sea-view premium room with a terrace, which costs a fortune but the view is just the killer. The terrace is good size so it is very practical / functional to sit on the balcony, have a drink and soak in that panoramic view of the sea. We opt to venture out to a private tour organized by the hotel: horse back riding on Mount Edna, follow by a lunch and wine tasting at the winery in the area. The logistic was flawless, driver super professional, the view of Mount Edna on the horse back was fantastic, what a great combo of activities. Pool staff at the hotel is top notch, the call button on each table is the modern world way to receive the world class service of the Four Seasons. The current decor in the pool area are all Dolce & Gabbana Casa, very over the top! Even the Granita cart is Dolce & Gabbana, oh yes it is! We had lunch at the restaurant closer to the pool (Anciovi), serving seasonal Sicilian seafood dishes, fresh seafood pastas, seafood salads and fish. Book in advance for to sit next to the beautiful view. The hotel is timeless, the only complain (is any) is there is no adult only pool, so if you are allergic to screaming kids like myself.... But the timeless decor and world class service more than compensate for that.

When you think of luxury, hospitality, and world-class service, the Four Seasons Hotel naturally…read morecomes to mind. But for my family and me, the Four Seasons isn't just a beautiful hotel--it's the place that turned a ruined day into one of the most unforgettable experiences of our lives. What was supposed to be a special birthday celebration for my dad was nearly ruined by another hotel's complete lack of professionalism. Thankfully, the Four Seasons stepped in and completely turned the day around. From the moment we walked into the lobby, we were met with warmth, professionalism, and genuine hospitality. The staff welcomed us with smiles, and within minutes they had learned about the birthday situation and sprang into action to make things right. The attention to detail was astounding--everything from the way they expedited our check-in to the complimentary treats and personalized note they left in our room for my dad was handled with so much care. It was clear they genuinely wanted to give us the experience we were hoping for. Our room offered breathtaking views that felt like something out of a movie. Whether it was the sunrise over the city skyline or the way the lights sparkled at night, every glance out the window reminded us how special this stay was. The rooms themselves were spotless and luxuriously comfortable, with high-end finishes and thoughtful touches that made us feel pampered from the inside out. What truly stood out was how the staff went above and beyond. They arranged a last-minute dinner reservation at one of the hotel's incredible restaurants and even surprised my dad with a small birthday cake at the end of the meal. It wasn't just the food (which was incredible) or the ambiance (which was stunning), but the feeling that the team truly cared. That kind of service is rare--and unforgettable. Thanks to the Four Seasons, what could have been a huge disappointment turned into a magical celebration. They didn't just give us a room--they gave us a memory we'll cherish forever. I can't thank them enough for saving my dad's birthday and turning it into something even better than we had originally planned. Without a doubt, the Four Seasons Hotel is more than just a place to stay--it's an experience. One filled with beauty, kindness, and excellence in every detail. I would recommend it to anyone, especially if you're celebrating something important. Trust me--it's worth every moment.

Oh my goodness. This place was amazing…read more I'm not sure where to start, so let's start with the view. The pictures uploaded by others show the view from the restaurant, and it doesn't matter where you're seated--floor to ceiling glass windows give diners an unobstructed view of the shimmering Mediterranean sea. (I'll try to upload a photo as well.) I was there for lunch in August with a few friends (most of whom were locals). We ordered a number of seafood appetizers to share, including raw shrimp and other fish. Presentation was beautiful, and everything was fresh. For the main course, I had spaghetti with sea urchin. Simple, right? Yes, simple done right. The pasta was cooked al dente and smoothly mixed with the sea urchin. Every bite delivered a heady mix of perfectly cooked pasta flavored with the slight brininess from the sea urchin. I finished off my plate fast and looked hopefully at my friends' plates, hoping they weren't able to finish theirs so I could have more. Alas, they seemed to like the pasta just as much as I did as their plates were empty as well. A few others ordered a variety of cooked seafood, including swordfish. Their orders were presented on a heated tile of pink Himalyan salt, which I found fascinating. Yes, I'm easily impressed. :D I tried a bit of swordfish, and though I'm typically not a fan of this particular fish, it was amazing. We finished off our meal with some espressos (passed on dessert as we were all so full). Amazing lunch. The price was more than reasonable too, considering the breathtaking view, the warm and friendly service, and the quality and freshness of the food.

One item to note though is if you are walking on foot from the heart of Etna, there are steps and not just a small amount, it's a lot (think of a huge hike) so just be mindful of that. My husband and I work out a lot and it was not an easy task for either of us. When we arrived, we made it a few minutes before our reservation and were promptly seated for dinner on the patio, and the views throughout the entire meal were absolutely amazing! The restaurant servers were all so friendly and welcoming and answered any questions we had. We ordered a bottle of wine from the Mount Etna area to start as we wanted to try a wine from the area. They had wine pricing of all options and varieties. For starters, we ordered the wild boar pasta (22 Euros) and the Taglioni with pistachio cream (22 Euros). All of the pasta was OMG so fresh and homemade, it was all outstanding! We also ordered the Sea bass filet (28 Euros) and it was also fresh from the area as well and also truly outstanding. For dessert, we ordered the deconstructed cannoli (10 Euros) and the presentation and quality was also outstanding and very fresh. The entire meal and service were outstanding and very memorable. The owner closed out our check at the end and thanked us for our visit, and it was truly an amazing and friendly family establishment. Definitely try to stop by for a meal if you're in the Taormina area!

We ordered an eggplant app 3 main courses a side dish and unique volcanic beer. The eggplant app was delicious! The sauce tasted fresh and was not overwhelming at all. The involtini (meat rolls) had a crisp outside and stuffed with a flavorful herb and cheese filling. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente and volcanic beer was a unique beverage. Milazzo has a port which offers aliscafo (speed boats) to the volcanic islands surrounding Sicily so it was only right we ordered a volcanic beer. The ambiance was quiet and waitstaff was friendly. The seating is outdoor which offers some views of the city lights. The menu had a variety of language options from English/Spanish and German which is helpful for tourists. The waitstaff spoke English so it made the ordering process easier for those that didn't speak Italian fluently. We made a reservation via an app named the fork (which we found on TripAdvisor) and we received a 20% discount that included alcohol. Definitely a great deal and great food! Must go if in Milazzo area.
