Exceptional ambience and attention to all the small details that make the difference. Incredibly attentive staff, wonderful setting, and magnificent hospitality

Bedroom faced hotel entrance and approach road, with great views of Etna, but was woken up very early (2X) by lorry unloading and other logistics.

Very good location, amazing view and nice rooms. Excellent room service. Pool location and garden is also very nice. Bed comfortable. Every das fresh fruits on table.

We had to wait long for breakfast( too man guests) and it was overpriced for the whole eyperience. Problems when checkout( money was reserved twice from card and was kept for 2 weeks after the trip!!!) So you have to have twice the price for 2 weeks on your card. Longest and most problematic checkin amd checkout. Coctails at the bar and breakfast not the best( should be better for this money)

Not only is this property absolutely beautiful, it has a rich history that has been well preserved. It would be difficult to find a more luxurious, comfortable property. We will absolutely return one day.

Of all the top end hotels we have stayed in the world, this newly renovated hotel must rank among the top. The design blends seamlessly modern and the old with meticulous attention to details. The location is simply stunning right on top of a cliff over looking the ocean within a few minutes work to the Main Street. Taormina is on par with Santorini in terms of touristic attraction. The service is outstanding. We particularly like to highlight Rosario, Stefano and Marco who seem really enjoy their work. Well done to them and their team. If budget is not an issue I would highly recommend this exceptionally elegant hotel in all aspects.

It is difficult to put into words just how fabulous this hotel, and staying here, was to experience... From the moment we arrived, San Domenico Palace’s team showed the very highest level of customer service and care – they truly provide an unparalleled guest experience. Located within this stunning, restored historical monastery in the heart of Taormina’s old town, our beautifully-designed and appointed hotel room featured a private terrace with views over the picturesque hillsides and coastline below. Staying at San Domenico Palace is like staying in a private museum full of beautiful antiquities, albeit artfully framed within gorgeous, luxurious, contemporary surroundings which cater to every possible 5-star need. In summary, the surroundings are quite literally breath-taking, the food exquisite and the team unparalleled in the care they provide. This was an incredible hotel experience which we will never forget, so thank you Team San Domenico Palace!

San Domenico’s location is exceptional. An old monastery in the heart of Taormina with an absolutely stunning view of both Smokey Mt. Etna and 2 beautiful sun-kissed bays with the postcard like composition of yachts and boats. Yes it’s pricey but you’ll forget that the moment you’re in the experienced and graceful hands of the mostly local staff. “No” is never an answer and the amenities live up to and over deliver your expectations. Two great restaurants and terraces to your disposal at the hotel in addition to the already abundant presence of Michelin listed and local mom and pop style Italian restaurants within walking distance. Affiliations with beach clubs make a trip down to the bay very easy albeit with a taxi. Allround it’s worth every penny. I’ve been to quite a few Four seasons hotels and never do they disappoint but this is something else! I have to mention it’s also brand new, so the shine is extra present. loved every second of our stay.

Not a lot to mention here. Yes it’s pricey and therefore unfortunately not for everyone. but even just for 2 days, it’s worth it and unforgettable. We didn’t not have a sea view suite due to it’s price and we didn’t feel we missed out too much. Views galore in the garden and pool area. Pricing can be a hurdle so I guess that makes for a lesser liked aspect but it’s debatable what luxury at this level can and should cost in general.

Have travelled extensively for both work and pleasure - this is the best hotel we have stayed in, anywhere in the world. The staff are absolutely exceptional- professional, consistent and helpful. Nothing is too much trouble and everything is done to the highest standard. A special mention to Denise who was a very special host. The hotel itself is remarkable. Historic and painstakingly restored- the perfect balance between old and new. Some parts of the hotel feel like you are in a museum. The court yard next to reception is charming and a place we really enjoyed having an evening drink in after the stunning pool and before dinner. We also thought the food at Massimo Manttaro’s restaurant was the best we ate at in Sicily (far better than up the road at the Belmond). An exceptional stay in every respect, words don’t do it justice.

The hotel is expensive… but we left feeling like it was worth every cent.

Exceptional service and a beautiful hotel. The team was supper attentive and happy to assist with everything. Room was very clean and the shower and bathroom are great. Bed is very comfortable with the best sheets!!! Have to find to buy! Best sheets ever. Breakfast is great with nice selection of food and great service. The view, the gardens simply jaw dropping gorgeous! Lovely entertainment in the courtyard after dinner. Simply beautiful, luxurious and AA+++ experience. Already booked for next year!

our room was tinny-tiny, but its an old monastery, so its to be expected. Its not preventing us from coming back. We enjoy a cocktail before heading out to dinner. and the drinks are tinny-tiny as well. Don't get me wrong, we are not huge drinkers. A standard martini is about 6 oz. These we maybe 3oz and cost 28EU.

Staying at The Four Seasons is a next level experience from the attentive service of the staff to the cleanliness of the rooms and amazing food and design throughout the hotel. The property itself is unlike any other I’ve been to. They transformed a historic landmark in a quieter area of Taormina into a beautiful escape, with perfectly manicured courtyard gardens and expertly decorated ballrooms. You could spend hours just walking around the property and enjoying the peace and tranquillity. The property is just a minute or two walk away from the excitement of the city, unlike other luxury hotels in the area, the four seasons is away from any super tourist heavy areas. The staff went above and beyond and helping us reserve restaurant reservations and transportation. We will definitely be returning. Last thing, the pool is one of the best I have ever been to.

Excellent. The service was wonderful. The servers were suggestive of dining options and offered to go above and beyond. Your front desk staff person Dunia El Boutaybi, greeted us as we checked in very late and throughout out four day stay followed us and insured we had the best time. She is a treasure and clearly goes the extra mile.

We liked everything
