5-star cliff-top hotel with a Michelin-starred restaurant and a former 14th-century convent

Dining

San Domenico Palace, Taormina, A Four Seasons Hotel houses the Michelin-starred Principe Cerami restaurant, serving Sicilian cuisine through tasting menus. The seafood restaurant Anciovi sits by the clifftop infinity pool and offers tuna tartare and lobster pasta. Breakfast at Rosso includes local pastries and an extensive buffet, while the Bar & Chiostro serves classic cocktails in the original convent cloister.

Accommodations

The hotel is composed of two historic buildings: the Garden Wing, a former 15th-century convent with a preserved cloister, and the Grand Hotel Wing added in 1896. Rooms are uniquely decorated and most offer views of the sea, with some including private balconies or plunge pools. The Sea View Junior Suite with Plunge Pool provides a private terrace, outdoor pool, and direct views of Mount Etna and Taormina Bay.

Wellness & Pool

The clifftop infinity pool overlooks Mount Etna and the Ionian Sea, with sun loungers, umbrellas, and complimentary granita service. The spa offers a hammam, sauna, steam room, and full body massages using nature-based treatments inspired by Sicilian traditions. Guests also have access to a fitness center with personal trainers, a beauty corner, and a solarium.

Location & Activities

The hotel is within walking distance of the Ancient Theatre of Taormina, the Public Gardens, and the shops of Corso Umberto. A complimentary shuttle runs to Isola Bella Beach and local beaches, and private yacht charters with onboard chefs are available. On-site activities include walking tours of the historic convent, live music performances, and cooking classes.

Family & Services

Families traveling with children receive cribs, strollers, diaper pails, and high chairs upon request, plus a dedicated kids' menu at all restaurants. The hotel offers babysitting services, board games, and a scavenger hunt around the property. A pop-up boutique by Dolce & Gabbana adds a retail experience, and the concierge arranges airport transfers, tours, and dining reservations.
