Italy

Overview

This former 15th century Dominican monastery, in central Taormina, is one of the world's most historic hotels where still today, frescos and furniture of the original monastery echo its ancient history.

Historic patrons such as Goethe and Wagner were inspired by the shady, tranquil gardens with their flowering orange trees, scented roses and jasmine. Nowadays, those same organic gardens once tended by monks supply fresh herbs for the outstanding Sicilian dishes of the Michelin star restaurant, Principe Cerami.

The pretty pool is skirted by panormatic terraces with excellent views of the ancient Greek theatre and majestic Mount Etna, whilst indoors, the Oratorio dei Frati bar centres on the grand fireplace of refectory.
