the staff is absolutely AMAZING!!!!!!! the property is amazing, they take care of everything, best service ever, beautiful hotel, great location.
IsraelThe breakfast was beyond delicious! Eggs offered anyway you want, fresh pastries, fruits, fruit juice, cappuccino, coffee, absolute perfection in a setting overlooking the sea, snow capped mountains, Mt.Etna and the hills of Taromina!
United StatesIt is difficult to put into words just how fabulous this hotel, and staying here, was to experience... From the moment we arrived, San Domenico Palace’s team showed the very highest level of customer service and care – they truly provide an unparalleled guest experience. Located within this stunning, restored historical monastery in the heart of Taormina’s old town, our beautifully-designed and appointed hotel room featured a private terrace with views over the picturesque hillsides and coastline below. Staying at San Domenico Palace is like staying in a private museum full of beautiful antiquities, albeit artfully framed within gorgeous, luxurious, contemporary surroundings which cater to every possible 5-star need. In summary, the surroundings are quite literally breath-taking, the food exquisite and the team unparalleled in the care they provide. This was an incredible hotel experience which we will never forget, so thank you Team San Domenico Palace!

AustraliaHave travelled extensively for both work and pleasure - this is the best hotel we have stayed in, anywhere in the world. The staff are absolutely exceptional- professional, consistent and helpful. Nothing is too much trouble and everything is done to the highest standard. A special mention to Denise who was a very special host. The hotel itself is remarkable. Historic and painstakingly restored- the perfect balance between old and new. Some parts of the hotel feel like you are in a museum. The court yard next to reception is charming and a place we really enjoyed having an evening drink in after the stunning pool and before dinner. We also thought the food at Massimo Manttaro’s restaurant was the best we ate at in Sicily (far better than up the road at the Belmond). An exceptional stay in every respect, words don’t do it justice.
