The Belmond Grand Hotel Timeo is rated as one of Italy’s most glamorous retreats, and is a worthy destination on any luxury, tailor-made holiday to Sicily. Stroll amongst its fragrant, terraced gardens - or relax as you take early morning coffee on your private balcony - and you will inevitably be drawn towards the view of the ancient Greek Theatre. It is the classic bowl shape and stands on a high promontory, with the glittering blue sea forming the perfect theatrical backdrop.
The hotel – as its title suggests – is similarly grand. The Literary Terrace, for example, lends itself to relaxation and contemplation of the magnificent views. To-die-for panoramas are a theme here; the restaurant specialises in regional Sicilian and modern Mediterranean dishes served against mouth-watering views of Mount Etna and Capo Taormina.
