Grand Hotel Timeo is open. For the latest information, download our Health & Safety Directory, and find out why we are Trusted for Travel
The first hotel to be built in the city gazes out across the coast towards Mount Etna and beyond. Here you can breathe in the full spectacle of Sicily. Bask in manicured gardens, savour sensational cuisine and fuel your imagination with cocktails at Bar Timeo—just like generations of celebrated guests before you.
This summer, we’re embracing the spirit of villeggiatura – an intrinsic Italian concept referring to a long, leisurely stay in the pursuit of total rest and recreation.
Those long, picturesque walks shared hand-in-hand. The conversation and cocktails served with a panoramic view. Those lazy lunches that stretch on until the stars come out. The moments of bliss where time stands still, and every second begs to last a little longer.
Feast on a Sicilian granita, or a post-dinner amaro overlooking Mount Etna. Breathe in the heady scent of bougainvillea as you enjoy leisurely aperitivo on our starlit terrace or a bite of arancini during a long lunch.
At Grand Hotel Timeo, your villeggiatura awaits.
