The Grand Hotel Timeo, Tormina’s premier hotel - set opposite the suggestive Greek theatre - dates back to 1873 and is the perfect expression of Framon style. In 1906 the Grand Hotel Timeo & Villa Flora played host to Wilhelm II of Hohenzollern, Duke of Prussia and Emperor of Germany, to whom the hotel’s prestigious Kaiser Suite is dedicated. Surrounded by a 25.000 m2 park filled with cypress, olive, palm, magnolia, almond, mulberry, citrus and bougainvillea trees, this historic hotel is famous for its literary terrace, which has always been a preferred meeting place for illustrious guests: from here you can admire the snow-covered Mount Etna, the sea and the splendour of the Greek theatre.
All the exquisitely furnished rooms have balconies or terraces. The suites - almost all of which have large terraces - bring to mind the magnificence of Sicilian Baroque without overpowering, thanks to the use of fresh colours and fabrics which provide an elegantly faded feel. Amongst these is the Kaiser Suite, with its elegant rooms and a terrace of over 220 m2 where one can relive the splendour of aristocratic Sicily in the early days of the 20th century. With its magical setting, the restaurant “Il Dito e La Luna” offers exquisite Sicilian and Mediterranean specialities. The distinctive “La Zagara” bar - a superb work in plaster by expert Sicilian craftsmen – provides the magical and unforgettable atmosphere of an early 19th century winter garden, something that was seldom missing from noble residences of the Baroque period. The reception rooms, with their large windows looking out onto the terrace, are the ideal place in which to do a little reading and they also provide an intimate, elegant and striking setting when in the evening the notes of the piano gently resound. The Grand Hotel Timeo of Taormina also provides a Conference Centre with polyfunctional rooms that are perfect for business meetings, gala dinners and fashion shows where service and quality are guaranteed.
Whole the Grand Hotel Timeo is covered with Wi-Fi internet access.
Interesting point: Etna, Greek Theatre, Valle dei Templi, Naxos Gardens.
