The 10 Best Hotels and Resorts in Sicily, Italy - AFAR
"An enduring belle époque grande dame with private gardens and terraced bars overlooking the Ionian Sea and Taormina’s ancient Greek amphitheater, this 150‑year‑old property blends historic glamour with modern hospitality touches. The 70 sumptuously appointed rooms sit among gilt mirrors and high ceilings, while amenities include a Louis Vuitton café, a Dior outdoor wellness area, and the Michelin‑starred Otto Geleng kitchen, where dishes such as octopus with escarole and wild fennel and red mullet with foie gras are highlights; guests also have beach access via a complimentary shuttle to a sister property." - Laura Itzkowitz, Erica Firpo
