산 도메니코 팰리스 호텔

호텔은 정말 아름답습니다. 뒷방에서 보이는 전망은 정말 미쳤습니다. 수영장은 정말 훌륭하지만 호텔에 비해 너무 작아서 의자를 구하기가 힘들었습니다. 놀라운 아침 식사와 발코니에서 보이는 전망. 모든 사람이 훌륭한 서비스를 제공했습니다. 우리는 나이트 바텐더를 좋아했습니다. 그녀는 정말 웃겼습니다. 헬스장은 이탈리아에서 본 것 중 최고였습니다. 우리가 처음 묵었던 방은 전망이 정말 좋았지만 아내의 드레스를 걸 수 있는 옷이 없고 욕조도 없어서 이상했습니다. 그들은 친절하게 우리를 더 큰 방으로 옮겨주었지만 전망은 그렇게 좋지 않았습니다. 우리는 타오르미나 뒤의 산간 마을까지 하이킹을 즐겼습니다. 하지만 전반적으로 호텔과 마을은 White Lotus의 영향으로 가득 차 있습니다. 정말 아름답고 멋진 곳입니다. 하지만 우리는 쇼에서 사진을 찍으려고 호텔에서 많은 군중과 큰 그룹을 좋아하지 않기 때문에 시칠리아에 진출하지 않은 것을 후회합니다. 하지만 직원과 호텔은 훌륭합니다.

세계에서 가장 차별적인 Fours Seasons 호텔입니다. 불과 14일 전, 저와 남편은 서울의 Four Seasons에 손님으로 묵었습니다. 저는 전 세계의 많은 FS 호텔을 다녀봤습니다. 정말 많았죠. 하지만 이곳은 잠재 고객과 손님을 파리아로 대하는 면에서 최고입니다. 그들은 우리가 바에 예약이 없어서 호텔에 들어가는 것을 거부했습니다. 저희 호텔 Timeo Taormina는 미슐랭 레스토랑이나 적어도 바에 예약을 하려고 했습니다. 그들은 만실이라고 대답했습니다. White Lotus TV 시리즈 때문에 이런 터무니없고 차별적인 정책을 가지고 있는 겁니다. 저는 호텔이 대중에게 개방되어서 구내 소비자의 출입을 거부하는 것을 들어본 적이 없습니다.

Our stay at the San Domingo Four Seasons in Taormina was an unforgettable experience, straight out of *The White Lotus*. This palatial hotel perfectly captured Sicily’s charm, offering stunning views of the Ionian Sea and Mount Etna from our luxurious terrace. The staff's exceptional service made us feel like royalty. Every detail—from the infinity pool that seemed to touch the sky, to the exquisite Sicilian cuisine—was pure perfection. The hotel’s location allowed easy access to Taormina’s treasures, including the ancient Greek Theatre and picturesque streets. San Domingo blends elegance, history, and the magic of Sicily effortlessly. It was the best hotel stay we've ever had—a true slice of paradise.

So we actually went June 2023- but I forgot to write a review until now. Spectacular. Gorgeous hotel, they kept so much of the character and really leaned into Sicilian heritage and art. Amazing location, amazing recommendations. excellent service-Staff was so knowledgeable and kind. Months later, when I had needed a recommendation and I didn't know who to ask, I emailed Ms. Perna, and even though she had no obligation to help me, she still went out of her way to help me. They had the most amazing gluten free chocolate croissants I've ever had, and they even sent me the recipe!

I have never been as sad as I was today when I left Taormina and my stay at San Domenico Palace ended. It is undoubtedly my favourite hotel in the whole wide world at this point. Firstly, the hotel itself is a masterpiece. The art, the plantations, the architecture. Secondly, our room was LOVELY, overlooking the Ionian Sea with a personal pool. Shout out to the housekeeping team for leaving us lovely gifts and for their terrific attention to detail - the rooms were impeccable thanks to them. For example, everyday we came back to our room to find our hastily left spectacles neatly put on a personalised San Domenico Chamois. Or our cable wires would be nearly wound up with a leather holder. It really is the small and big stuff, isn’t it, that makes the experience great? The food - oh my god - the food! The beef fillet! The Ragu pasta! The breakfast spread! The cannolis! Gorgeous green olive oil! Just the pure quality of food and the mastery of cooking will promise you no bad meals at San Domenico. Also - Panoramic views of the Ionian Sea during meal times! San Domenico Palace is a food lovers paradise. The biggest shout out to Mr. Dario Amoroso who is the restaurant supervisor who hosted us during all our meals at San Domenico - he is so good at what he does. A huge thanks to him for making sure we had the best meals, for making us feel like truly special guests…we will remember our time with him very very fondly. A true gentleman! And a shout out to Giulia Torrisi (part of the concierge team) for helping us navigate through Taormina with the best reccos and 24x7 help. Your energy is contagious, signora!! San Domenico Palace is an expensive stay. But it is so worth it. Worth every penny. So so so very happy with the service, the stay, the experience. Came because of White Lotus, stayed because it was truly perfect. Thanks team San Domenico Palace for everything. 11/10 recommend as I am sure you can tell.

Stayed here on a tour. The accommodations were satisfactory, but the walk downhill and, even more challenging, uphill made it difficult to go back and forth into Taormina itself. Many in our group struggled with it. The breakfast was very nice; loved the coffee machine!
