Overview

Welcome to the Grand Hotel San Pietro, a serene and elegant sanctuary perched above the sparkling Ionian Sea in the heart of Taormina.This luxurious five star retreat combines timeless charm with contemporary comfort, offering an unforgettable escape along one of Italy’s most captivating coastlines.

Housed in a beautifully restored early-20th-century villa, the Grand Hotel San Pietro invites you to slow down and savour la dolce vita. Wake each morning to breathtaking views of Isola Bella, Mount Etna, and the endless horizon, all from the privacy of your own terrace or the fragrant, cypress-lined gardens. Just a short stroll or complimentary shuttle ride from Taormina’s lively historic centre, the hotel blends the best of peaceful seclusion and cultural richness.

The newly renovated rooms and suites exude understated Sicilian elegance. From the superior rooms with hand-painted tiles and soft natural tones to expansive suites, each space is designed to soothe and inspire. Many offer sweeping sea views, private terraces, and the kind of quiet luxury that turns a holiday into a cherished memory.

At Il Giardino degli Ulivi, indulge in Sicilian flavours reimagined with artistry, while the sea view terrace sets the stage for romantic evenings under the stars. Refresh yourself at the poolside bar or unwind in the cool shade of lemon trees with a chilled Aperol Spritz. For the ultimate indulgence, the wellness centre awaits with rejuvenating treatments, a Turkish bath, Finnish sauna, and a serene Jacuzzi.

The hotel’s sea view swimming pool is a tranquil oasis where time slows to the rhythm of rustling palms and soft sea breezes. If the beach calls, a nearby private beach, accessible via shuttle, offers clear blue waters and a peaceful coastal experience.

Whether you’re seeking a romantic escape, a cultural adventure, or simply a place to relax in timeless beauty, the Grand Hotel San Pietro promises an experience that is as enchanting as Sicily itself.
