    Superb afternoon coctail experience

    rating26 May 2026

    Lovely terrace view in an elegant setting with outstanding service from David and Fabio. Cocktails were 26 Euros, but they come with substantive bar snacks such as pistachios, mix of olives, and potato chips. A fair price for the setting, ambience, and superb service. I had the the Belvedere vodka with cucumber infusion, a bayleaf, etc. (forgot the name), a nice alternative to my usual dry martini. My wife asked for an herbal tea freddo, not caldo. David, prepared it superbly - did not simply add ice, but somehow chilled it with no ice in it, an artful touch. It came with excellent petit fours. Also ordered an unspecified "Traditional Italian Liquer" from molto gentile Fabio, for 18 Euros, who chose for us an excellent "ancient" Sicilian liquer - a complex port-like beverage. Overall great afternoon experience not unexpected from Belmond. Letizia Cucchiara, Owner at Grand Hotel Timeo, A Belmond Hotel, Taormina, responded to this review Dear Nicholas M.,Thank you for sharing such a detailed and delightful review of your afternoon cocktail experience with us.We are thrilled to read that you found our terrace view lovely and the setting elegant, perfectly complementing your expectations of a Belmond experience.

The accompanying petit fours and the ancient Sicilian liqueur selected by Fabio further highlight the attention to detail we aim for.It was a pleasure to host you, and we look forward to welcoming you back for another superb experience.Sincerely,Massimiliano PuglisiGeneral Manager

    Lovely drinks at the Grand Hotel

    rating07 May 2026

    We stayed in Taormina and after visiting the amphitheater we stopped for drinks on the terrace of the Grand Hotel.The terrace area is lovely, well laid out and has fabulous views of Mount Etna. The service from Fabio was excellent, nothing was too much trouble and a great choice of drinks plus a few complimentary snacks.It is the service and the setting that makes a drink at the Grand Hotel a great experience.
