Grand Hotel Miramare details

Enveloped by terraced gardens, this hillside hotel looks out over the Messina Strait and the Ionian Sea.

The Grand Hotel Miramare wasn’t always a hotel. At the start of the Twenties, this huge villa was the private residence of an aristocratic family called Lo Turco. Since then, it’s been sympathetically transformed into lodgings. The property has retained original features like doric columns and arched windows and bedrooms have been furnished with antique-style furniture appropriate to the era the villa was built.

Cocooned in terraced gardens of cypress and olive trees, the property is set on a hillside, a 10-minute walk from Taormina ‘s main street, Corsa Umberto I. Its elevated position affords it yawning views of the Messina Strait and the Ionian Sea in the distance. The best views are by the large pool, which you get to via a tall flight of steps. From here, the vistas take in the craggy rocks and evergreen trees on the Isola Bella nature reserve, too.   

There are 2 places to dine at the hotel. The eatery by the pool serves light lunches like pizza and pasta. The main restaurant puts on a Continental buffet breakfast. In the evenings, you can choose between a set or à la carte menu and the choice range from fish to pasta dishes.
