Hotel Overview

Taormina and San Domenico Palace Hotel: names that are known all over the world. Taormina, nestling by the sea, has inspired the souls of great poets and famous personages, and the San Domenico Palace, in the citadel's historic heart, has hosted them amid the entrancing charms of its ancient surroundings.

Built on the site of a 15th century monastery, of which it still conserves the original structure, the San Domenico Palace Hotel frames by a scene of rare beauty, which sweeps from the ancient Greek theatre to the peak of Mount Etna.

Accommodations
The unique and exclusive Truman Suite is named after the American president who stayed there. Unique red-lacquer furniture, specially imported from Asia for the important guest, includes tables, chairs, and other pieces, in addition to an elegant, feminine dressing table and an old, wrought-iron bed.

In the bedroom, one of the two large windows looks onto the ancient Greek theatre, the other on the spectacular scenery of the San Domenico's Italian gardens, high above the sea.

Dining
The San Domenico Palace Hotel of Taormina boasts four restaurants: valid alternatives able to satisfy the most discriminating palates and offer guests a range of dining experiences.

The noted Principe Cerami gourmet restaurant is the proud bearer of a coveted Michelin star, thanks to the magic of the creative artistry of the chef, Massimo Mantarro.

The Antico Refettorio, open from November to March, offers an international cuisine that is very attentive to locally grown products. And from April to October, the Les Bougainvillées restaurant makes it possible to dine outdoors on the broad terrace perched high above the sea, where the air is heady with the perfume of bougainvillea blossoms.

For an informal lunch, Il Giardino dei Limoni, open in the summertime from April to October, offers a rich variety of low-calorie dishes, to cater to the tastes of those who like to eat lightly without forgoing the pleasures of the palate.

Spa

A shelter for getting back a bit of privacy and giving new lustre to the body, with the choice of a wide range of treatments and beauty applications for face and body featuring the exclusive Phytomer label, a natural line of marine cosmetics based on seawater and a variety of seaweeds, with surprising beneficial properties.
