Grand Hotel Timeo

Set high on rugged cliffs, its entrance swathed in bougainvillea, Belmond Grand Hotel Timeo has proved irresistible to decades of visitors. 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, savor sensational cuisine and fuel your imagination with cocktails on the Literary Terrace—just like generations of celebrated guests before you, including Truman Capote, the author of Breakfast at Tiffany's, who dropped by and didn't leave for two years.
