Grand Hotel San Pietro Taormina - Preferred Hotels & Resorts
From
1,003 €
“Score of 9.3/10 on 478 reviews, one of the highest ranked in Taormina, with airport shuttle included from Catane.”
Grand Hotel San Pietro Taormina clings to the Sicilian cliff, above the Gulf of Naxos, member of the Preferred Hotels & Resorts network. The score climbs to 9.3/10 on 478 reviews, rare for an establishment displayed from 1 003 € per night. The outdoor pool benefits from a clear view of the Ionian Sea, with no obstacle between the water and the horizon. The spa and fitness centre occupy a separate wing, far from the hubbub of the lobby. On the practical side, the airport shuttle and private parking simplify arrival from Catane. Pets are accepted and family rooms exist, which remains rare at this level of range. The rate climbs quickly, but the overhanging position justifies a good part of the bill 😌.
Who is it for?
Who we recommend it to
We recommend this hotel to couples seeking a Sicilian panorama without compromise on comfort, honeymoon or birthday included. Families with pets find a real place here, thanks to family rooms and the welcome of dogs. Business travellers will be less served, the place remains turned towards rest and the view rather than meeting rooms.
The building
Architecture and interiors
The hotel rises in tiers on the Taormina cliff, with successive terraces overlooking the Ionian Sea. The architecture remains typical of the Sicilian Riviera, light volumes and gardens in levels rather than urban verticality. Without precise detail on the date of construction, the whole plays on adaptation to the relief more than on a marked architectural style.

Restaurants, bar, service
A restaurant and room service are available on site. The data specify neither menu, nor signature chef, nor hours, so we remain cautious on the gastronomic promise. To check on site if the table justifies a dinner outside the Corso Umberto.

Location & access
Where the hotel sits in Taormina
Taormina occupies a rocky promontory on the east coast of Sicily, between Messine and Catane. The Corso Umberto and the ancient Teatro Greco are accessible on foot from the historic centre. Catania airport is about 45 minutes away by road, served by the hotel shuttle. The district remains touristy and lively in season, calmer outside summer.
