San Domenico Palace, Taormina, A Four Seasons Hotel

I would say this is the best hotel in Sicily. Everything are also FS standard, the room, BF are good as expect. The view from my room is so nice we can enjoyed the sea at the balcony. Swimming pool and chilling area around cover by D&G so very nice.

酒店地理位置很好 景色無敵 但是服務感覺一般

Wir waren eigentlich im Juni 2023 dort – aber ich habe bis jetzt vergessen, eine Bewertung zu schreiben. Spektakulär. Ein wunderschönes Hotel, das seinen Charakter bewahrt und sich voll und ganz auf sizilianisches Erbe und Kunst einlässt. Fantastische Lage, fantastische Empfehlungen. Exzellenter Service – das Personal war äußerst kompetent und freundlich. Monate später, als ich eine Empfehlung brauchte und nicht wusste, wen ich fragen sollte, schrieb ich Frau Perna eine E-Mail, und obwohl sie nicht verpflichtet war, mir zu helfen, tat sie alles, um mir zu helfen. Es gab die besten glutenfreien Schokocroissants, die ich je gegessen habe, und sie schickten mir sogar das Rezept!

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.
