San Domenico Palace, Taormina, A Four Seasons Hotel  

Perched on a rocky promontory above the Ionian Sea in Taormina, this reimagined 14th‑century Sicilian convent serves up cliffside drama and sea views. Located in the city center near Spisone Beach, the Metropolitan Theater and Bellini Gardens. Pet-friendly and family-friendly, with picture-ready panoramas.

The hotel has 111 rooms, including 43 suites—some with private terraces and plunge pools. Rooms feature air conditioning, flat-screen TVs, minibars and bathrobes. Stroll the lush Italian gardens, lounge by a 21‑metre infinity pool that seems to merge with the sea, or unwind in the Botanica Spa with five treatment rooms.

Stand-out perks include the dramatic infinity pool, a seasonal outdoor pool, a full-service spa, a 24‑hour fitness center and poolside bar. Concierge, beach shuttle (surcharge), valet/parking (extra charge), daily reception and 24‑hour room service keep things easy. Wake up to sea‑breeze mornings on a private terrace or relax in the gardens.
