RELAXED LUXURY
Under the aegis of Four Seasons, the historical and modern are seamlessly intertwined. The resort welcomed guests anew in the summer of 2021 – and here, everything is at your fingertips. Relaxed luxury and an atmospheric decor honouring the place’s original history set the tone. An enticing pool area featuring a beautiful infinity pool, enveloped by rounded fabric umbrellas and soft sun loungers, an exclusive beach club with a shuttle, spa and fitness centre, two exquisite restaurants, a spectacular bar, and ample scope for excursions and activities – all positioned ideally for leisurely ambles through Taormina’s meandering streets, where local restaurants entice with the alluring Sicilian cuisine and incredible local wines.
A LOVE AFFAIR
The historical edifices and the novel part of San Domenico Palace are intertwined in a garden of vows, replete with aromatic and colourful blooms from the myriad flowers, lavender, orange, and lemon trees. All 111 rooms and suites are ocean-facing, and whether ensconced in the medieval monastery buildings with vaulted ceilings and broad corridors – the rooms were the original monk cells – or in the newly constructed segment of the hotel, with an option of your own plunge pool on the terrace. Every glance rewards with views of the gardens and the Strait of Messina towards Calabria that are nothing short of breathtaking.
EXPLORE
Abundant opportunities await for a respite from the sun lounger. Don your hiking boots for a four-wheel-drive adventure to Mount Etna, or relish authentic Italian baroque in the historic city of Noto, a few hours’ drive south. A brief stroll will lead you to one of Taormina’s renowned attractions – the ancient Greek amphitheatre, a mere 10 minutes from the hotel. Venture into the winding streets’ quaint shops for local ceramics or crisp Italian linen. Everything is right outside the hotel’s threshold.
KITCHEN DIRECTED BY AWARD-WINNING CHEF
San Domenico Palace elevates gastronomy to an art form. Whether relishing a relaxed lunch or dinner on the terrace by the infinity pool, or indulging in fine dining at the hotel’s exquisite signature restaurant Principe Cerami, ensconced in soft, light chairs and sofas. Here, award-winning, Etna-born chef Massimo Mantarro orchestrates a culinary odyssey through classic Sicilian cuisine with local produce and traditions. Anciovi’s chilled terrace is the place to savour the Mediterranean Sea’s fresh fish and shellfish, Sicilian sushi, and expertly crafted signature cocktails, as the sun sets over Taormina Bay. The vista is simply unparalleled.
