Experiência incrível
Pros:

De tudo. O hotel é espetacular, ficamos na Junior Suíte que é excepcional. A qualidade dos serviços e de tudo o que é servido no hotel é ímpar. Os restaurantes, em especial o Estrela Michelin Otto Geleng, são de altíssimo nível. Poder utilizar o Beach Club do Belmond Sant’Andrea completa a inesquecível experiência !

Cons:

Gostei de absolutamente tudo, nem um detalhe que. Ao tenha gostado.

The Claridges of Sicily - cannot recommend more!
Pros:

Absolutely beautiful property with stunning priceless views of Mount Etna. The San Don does have nicer rooms - but the overall experience here is far far better and that is what makes your holiday. We cannot state how impeccable the service is for a property of this size - personalised and genuine - intuitive - a rare thing that they anticipate your needs. . All staff from the most junior to managerial roles are excellent can hold a conversation etc. we stay quite frequently at Claridges and in some respects it reminds you of there - nothing is too much. Incredible food at the hotel and the sister property at the beach. My wife used the spa this year which is now permanent Dior fixture and it was incredible. Amazing massage - again rivalled the ones my wife has in claridges. Easy shuttle to the beach which is a massive bonus in Taormina. Rooms have beautiful views but are a tad older and require updating it but the beauty of the property, the food and the service make up for it. Albeit we recommend taking a more straightforward room category.

A must stop even if you only manage a fleeting visit.
Pros:

Cruise stop in Messina and as I had holidayed in Taormina a few months previously, recommend we visit. On the day, we decided at the last minute to get off the ship mid morning as a few of us had been ill with a bug. Arranged a private transfer at the port and our driver whisked us through. Unfortunately we only had 2.5hrs so we rushed through the sites to allow enough time for another visit to this hotels terrace for drinks as I really enjoyed here on my last trip.
Staff were excellent, setting is relaxed and comfortable and the drinks choice is very good. Not forgetting the wonderful views. A must stop even if you only manage a fleeting visit.

Beautiful hotel, great staff
Pros:

We enjoyed 5 days at this wonderful hotel. The view from the terrace is fabulous, the Belmond team are excellent and the bed was probably the best we’ve slept in anywhere.
