First of all, every positive word on the previous reviews is spot on! This unique hotel adjacent to the ancient Greek theatre is beautiful, vintage, restful, and grand! When I left the hotel, I told the general manager (Massimiliano) I had one word for his grand hotel: “Elevated”. And trust me it is elevated in more ways than you might think! The architecture and common rooms and hallways and setting of the hotel are classic and vintage. It is a historical property with strategic location. My suite completely spoiled my wife and I. Thank you Giulia for helping us secure the elevated suite category. This hotel has attracted royalty, celebrities, writers, and non-famous folk like me for decades. It is obvious why this hotel has such a rich history – and is a magnet. Your primary view across the landscaped park leading down to the sea and then up in the distance to Mount Etna is spectacular! You will be hard pressed to surpass the views and tranquility that Timeo offers. We decided to come to eastern Sicily about a year ago. Early on I decided to build the entire Sicily trip around one hotel: the Timeo. We stayed in two other hotels (one in Noto and the other Belmond by the sea), but the main attraction was the Timeo and my hunch it would be special. It was. I worked extensively with the concierge desk to set up daily excursions, guides, and dinners. They made many recommendations and we eventually settled on a five-day trip based out of Taormina for northeastern Sicily. It was fantastic, and time was built in for the Timeo pool and some time to explore the hotel grounds, and of course the town of Taormina. The concierge desk literally made our trip. In particular Santi, Cristina, and Roberta were all stars and are as warm as they were helpful. Enzo at the front desk was also a delight to work with. All of these individuals felt like you had known them for years. It was not just team work; it was a family of staff all pulling in one direction to please and welcome my party. I cannot thank you enough! Excellent job front desk and concierge team! They are elevated! The food and beverage service from breakfast to dinner and from the bar to the pool was over the top. If you like a custom breakfast to get the day started – this is your place! One of the best breakfast setups I have seen anywhere. The Otto Geleng dinner was very nice and a good way to conclude our Timeo stay! The food and beverage experience was exceptional and yes – elevated! Last, the general manager Massimiliano was very kind and attentive to our small group. He spoke with me on several occasions and came over to our breakfast table one morning to check in. His attention to his guests is authentic and personal and elevated. He is the leader and is so professional in delivering an experience that will stay in your memory bank for a really long time. Of course, his well-trained staff are exceptional and work so hard, but every successful team must have a leader and Massimiliano is
