    The bartender was rude. The bar was empty and the room very quiet with nobody around but him behind the bar. I asked him is the bar was open and his answer was NO. To later say that yes, it was open. I did not really appreciate it.

    We expected a restaurant in such a prestigious hotel to be excellent, but this was not the case, the waiters' service was poor, the food was disgusting. Do not eat dinner in the hotel restaurant!!!

    Excellent. The service was wonderful. The servers were suggestive of dining options and offered to go above and beyond. Your front desk staff person Dunia El Boutaybi, greeted us as we checked in very late and throughout out four day stay followed us and insured we had the best time. She is a treasure and clearly goes the extra mile.

    The location is spectacular. The views of the sea, snow capped mountains, Mt. Etna, and the gardens, pool, patios and interior of the hotel exceeded all expectations! The staff treats guests like royalty. Breakfast…I’m hungry now just thinking about how delicious it was!

    It 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!

    Bedroom faced hotel entrance and approach road, with great views of Etna, but was woken up very early (2X) by lorry unloading and other logistics.

    Exceptional ambience and attention to all the small details that make the difference. Incredibly attentive staff, wonderful setting, and magnificent hospitality

    Staying at The Four Seasons is a next level experience from the attentive service of the staff to the cleanliness of the rooms and amazing food and design throughout the hotel. The property itself is unlike any other I’ve been to. They transformed a historic landmark in a quieter area of Taormina into a beautiful escape, with perfectly manicured courtyard gardens and expertly decorated ballrooms. You could spend hours just walking around the property and enjoying the peace and tranquillity. The property is just a minute or two walk away from the excitement of the city, unlike other luxury hotels in the area, the four seasons is away from any super tourist heavy areas. The staff went above and beyond and helping us reserve restaurant reservations and transportation. We will definitely be returning. Last thing, the pool is one of the best I have ever been to.
