The enchanting San Domenico Palace captivates visitors with its beautiful cloisters, manicured gardens, private seaview terraces, and easy access to the bustling town of Taormina. The hotel's signature restaurant, Principe Cerami, named after the nobleman who transformed the monastery into a hotel, offers refined tasting menus crafted by Sicilian chef Massimo Mantarro.



Guests can also enjoy Mediterranean seafood and creative cocktails at Anciovi, located beside the clifftop infinity pool, or indulge in international all-day dining at Bar & Chiostro. For a more exclusive experience, guests can book a private group meal at Sala Teatro, a venue overlooking Taormina Bay that accommodates up to 35 guests.



The hotel's interiors, designed by Naples-born architect Valentina Pisani, effortlessly fuse contemporary elegance with Old World grandeur. The 111 rooms, ranging from 301 to 1,507 square feet, exude luxury with smoked mirrors, bronze details, and sumptuous materials like Patagonian marble.



The accommodations, primarily converted monks' quarters, are serene and understated, offering more than just essentials to surround you in luxury and comfort. Expect terraces, chevron wood flooring, full marble bathrooms, and a soothing color palette inspired by the mountains and sea.
