“San Domenico Palace”

Beautiful hotel and hotel grounds. The garden was lovely and peaceful. The pool had a relaxing atmosphere and overall views were spectacular. The rooms were charming, but on the small side. But had the feel of the monestary with a new luxury decor that fit the history. My favorite was the outdoor center garden where in the evenings they had a piano playing and cocktails. Very nice glass enclosed area but still outdoors. Loved this hotel and plan to return and stay longer.

Area:

Taormina, Italy: A balcony setting on Mount Tauro with a sweeping view of Sicily’s coastline and Mount Etna gives Taormina its lasting appeal. It is Sicily’s only truly international resort, much-favoured by celebrities. The old quarter’s steep, narrow alleys are filled with window boxes and painted pottery, and best explored on foot. Main sights are the classical remains and Renaissance palaces. The Greco-Roman theatre is still used for concerts and festivals.
