We had an absolutely wonderful stay at the Four Seasons Hotel Taormina. The building is gorgeous, elegant and full of character, not too large but perfectly sized for comfort and privacy walking distance to the beautiful historic part of the city. Our room was spotless, with high ceilings, tasteful decor, and a breathtaking view of the sea from the balcony. Every detail was thoughtfully designed, from the luxurious bedding to the high-end hair dryer, which was surprisingly one of the best I’ve used in any hotel. Housekeeping cleaned the room twice a day, more than necessary, but a lovely touch of care.

The staff were exceptional, professional, friendly, and vey very happy to help. Their warmth and attentiveness made the stay even more special. The facilities were topnotch: the pool and spa were beautiful and maintained very well, creating a true atmosphere of relaxation and luxury and a very nice little garden. Breakfast was excellent, with a delicious buffet and a la carte options served with the same attention to quality and presentation.

My only minor complaint was the noticeable kitchen smell in the two large salons near the buffet area. It took away slightly from the otherwise elegant ambiance of those beautifully decorated rooms filled with antiques and a cozy fireplace.
Overall, an unforgettable experience and one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed at!

From the moment you arrive at Four Seasons San Domenico Palace, Taormina, you know you are somewhere extraordinary. Set within a former 14th-century Dominican monastery, the hotel seamlessly blends history, beauty, and modern luxury. Walking through its cloisters, gardens, and terraces feels almost surreal — every turn is a photo opportunity, framed by dramatic views of the Ionian Sea and Mount Etna. It is one of the most magical properties we have ever experienced.||||Even before we arrived and throughout our stay, the team was exceptional. Communication via WhatsApp was warm, prompt, and incredibly helpful, with thoughtful advice that made planning our time in Taormina effortless and reassuring.||||A very special thank you to Roberta Maria Cariola, who from the very beginning embodied the true hospitality gene. She and her team went above and beyond to make us feel genuinely welcomed and celebrated during our 31st anniversary. The warmth, care, and attention were sincere and deeply personal — never scripted.||||Lorenzo Ricci, Restaurant Manager at Anciovi, was exceptional — attentive, knowledgeable, and deeply passionate about creating a memorable dining experience on our first evening. Denise, who was our hostess that night, was absolutely wonderful. She welcomed us with such grace and generosity, gifting us a bottle of local liquor from the bar, as we loved it, and could not find it anywhere else.||||And Pepe at the pool truly stood out for us. His warmth, attentiveness, and enthusiasm — including taking the time to educate us about local Sicilian gins — made our pool days unforgettable. We loved Pepe, though truly the entire team was outstanding.||||We also deeply appreciated how the Four Seasons team connected us to the local culture beyond the hotel. They recommended and arranged a reservation at Osteria Santa Domenica, where Gianluca, the owner, welcomed us with incredible warmth and genuine Sicilian hospitality. It was a memorable evening and a perfect extension of the care we experienced at the hotel itself.||||While we experienced wonderful hospitality throughout Sicily, Four Seasons Taormina stands apart — not just as a hotel, but as an experience rooted in history, place, and human connection.

Un viaje inolvidable. Fuimos con nuestros hijos adolescentes y disfrutamos de unos días de descanso maravillosos. Mi hija es celíaca y el hotel tuvo mucho cuidado con su dieta en todo momento.

Como parte de un evento profesional, tuve el placer de alojarme dos noches en una Premium Sea View with terrace Room en este lugar, que mas allá de glamour, alberga todavía los ecos de un pasado de rezos, jardines de hierbas. A la alquimia agregamos excelencia y sensibilidad en servicio, y Taormina, tan hermosa.|San Domenico tiene impecables habitaciones, completas, amplias, confortables y de un buen gusto que mezcla los tonos cremas tan característicos de Four Seasons, con el impacto de los colores del mar: Azules y mosaicos en las terrazas, funcionalidad y tecnologia. Sicilia es un destino que juega constantemente con los elementos, la fuerza de un Volcan provocativo, y sin lugar a dudas, White Lotus le ha sumado un componente que hace danzar el lujo con un toque de sensualidad.|He tratado de vivir cada rincon como un tesoro, que seguira grabado en la mirada y los recuerdos. Desayunos en la terraza, noches de tragos en el bar y toda una estadia bajo la mirada de un equipo muy joven, que deja traslucir su orgullo por tan impactante hotel. Me quedo con la sensacion de que ellos son de alguna forma especial, quienes aportan swing a una estructura arquitectonica impresionante.||Aquellos quienes buscan hoteles con alma, encontraran en San Domenico una leyenda, un hotel obligatorio.

San Domenico Palace es un hotel muy especial: Tanto por el edificio en sí mismo, que es un antiguo convento. como por su ubicación privilegiada entre el volcán Etna y el mar. La decoración es una maravilla y el personal es de trato muy cercano y amabilísimo. Totalmente recomendable
