Ancient Greek ruins stand sentinel above the Ionian Sea, where the Teatro Antico offers views that might make you forget there's a performance scheduled. Corso Umberto buzzes with cafes where locals debate which gelateria truly deserves your euros. Take the aerial tramway down to Isola Bella, a tiny island nature reserve where the pebbled beach demands proper footwear but rewards with crystalline waters. The Piazza IX April serves as an open-air living room where everyone gathers at sunset. After climbing narrow medieval streets, reward yourself with pasta alla Norma and cannoli that make a compelling argument against ever leaving Sicily. The San Giorgio Theatre hosts performances in a setting so intimate you'll feel part of the production.

Grand Hotel San Pietro Taormina - Preferred Hotels & Resorts

Grand Hotel San Pietro Taormina - Preferred Hotels & Resorts

8/10 Good
"San Pietro was a vintage experience reminiscent of 50’s Italian Riviera. Staff on the whole were lovely especially Lucy who served coffee on the terrace every morning. Downside was lack of clarity on breakfast buffet. For first two days we paid extra for eggs from menu costing an unnecessary 70 Euros cost. No one informed us it was not part of complimentary breakfast. Room was a bit dated - I think refurbishment is required. Drinks very expensive- 26 euros for an ok cocktail! Shuttle good but not available at times costing 20 euros on a taxi back to hotel. Room service very good- food hot and fresh which is not always the case in other hotels. Overall a pleasant experience but overpriced."
