Italy, Taormina – Grand Hotel San Pietro

Housed in a magnificent 1900’s Villa perched on Taormina’s cliff-face with breathtaking and uninterrupted sea views, this boutique 63-room property’s 2024 transformational refurbishment has delivered Taormina’s best value 5-star luxurious hotel, without compromise. Its fresh, refined and elegant Colonial style is contemporary, but has definite ‘wow’ factor from lobby entry through to its rooms and amazing amenities, that include a sweeping terraced gourmet restaurant and pool with spa and sauna.

Location

A panoramic terrace overlooking the Ionian Sea, so close you can hear u scrusciu du mari – the swish of the waves breaking on the peaceful coast of Isola Bella. On the horizon, Mount Etna. This is one of the views that greet guests at the Grand Hotel San Pietro, immersed in the scents and colours of lush Sicilian vegetation and a stone’s throw from the centre of Taormina.
