Concierge.com's insider take:
Taormina was one of the first Sicilian towns to be discovered by tourists in the 1800s—and the Timeo was first to roll out the welcome mat. The elegant grande dame, set on a panoramic hill just below the Greek Theater, has since hosted Liz Taylor and other Hollywood royalty. After a 2003 face-lift that added 31 new rooms in the adjacent Villa Flora, it's now the most glamorous place in town. The 87 antique-filled rooms are gussied up in Sicilian Baroque with heavy drapes, Oriental rugs, marble bathrooms, and killer views of Mount Etna. The hotel's private beach, dotted with loungers, is a ten-minute shuttle ride away at Timeo's sister property, Hotel Villa Sant'Andrea (137 Via Nazionale; 39-094-223-125). If you can't stay, at least drop by for a limoncello on the terrace at Il Dito e la Luna restaurant, the place to be seen during June's theater festival.
