We just returned from a 10 day trip to Sicily spending May 6th thru May 12, 2013 at the Timeo. I agree completely with my fellow travelers' recent Trip Advisor reviews of the Timeo. Yes, it is "off the charts" in terms of location, service, quality of food, etc. You name it -- it was fantastic. We have been fortunate... More

We visitied the Greek Theatre at Taormina, Sicily. During our walk through the theatre we saw a beautiful terrace underneath. It was the terrace of hotel Timeo. We asked for lunch and we were guided by Mr. Privitera to a beautiful place at the terrace with a view at the roaring Etna! We had a wunderful light lunch in the... More

We stayed at the Grand Timeo from May 4th 2013 to May 9th. This hotel has the best staff of an hotel I have stayed in. Courteous, charming and endlessly obliging. Really keen to help. The rooms were really comfortable with wonderful views. The swimming pool is a good size and perfect temperature. The bar was top class, the restaurant... More

Unique location,amazing views and un outstanding and charming atmosphere...Extremely helpful and obliging staff largely contributing for the unforgettable stay.Rooms nice and big! Cocktails at the terrace enjoying a most gifted pianist performance reminds me "...what a wonderful world..." . Ça vaut le detour!

This is probably one of the best hotels we have ever stayed in. Rooms are extremely nice and big. Breakfast buffet was probabaly one of the best we have ever seen. But, the main two advantages are the location with the fantastic views of the sea, mountains and Etna and the personal service you get from the staff. Its not... More

I took my family of 2 sons, their wives, and 3 children, 12,10,and 18 months, and we all had a wonderful time in this beautiful hotel. The staff were extremely helpful and obliging, and the children spent hours in the heated pool. The views were amazing, and we could not have gone anywhere better.

Stayed at the Grand Timeo for a short honeymoon last year... The hotel is very nice, with amazing views, and has a charming old world feel to it. That said, for the exorbitant price, it fell short of our expectations. There was no effort made on the part of the staff to acknowledge that we were on our honeymoon (despite... More

We were lucky to stay at this gorgeous property as part of a medical conference in Sicily. There are not enough superlatives to do it justice! The location is excellent at the foot of the Greek Theatre with marvelous views from Mt Etna over the sweeping bay below and the town climbing up the hillside. The rooms are so luxurious-... More

You can't fault orient express hotels in general this is our fifth one to try and it doesn't disappoint - the view is breathtaking over the bay and it's a piece of heaven to relax and be spoilt rotten - elegant yet relaxed you won't want to leave as it was my birthday the staff made a special effort special...
