SICILY/TAORMINA |
|
Taormina’s premier hotel-set opposite the suggestive Greek theatre–was built in 1873 by Francesco La Floresta.
It is named after the son of Andromaca, who was the founder of Taormina. It wasn’t long before the hotel was serving lunch to Oscar Wilde and preparing its suite for the arrival of Kaiser Wilhelm II, Emperor of Germany.
In short, the cultural elite of Europe–including Miss Florence Trevelyan, Anatole France, D.H. Lawrence, Guy de Maupassant, Sciascia, Luigi Pirandello, Guglielmo Marconi and Christian Dior to name but a few - rapidly found its way to the terrace with one of the most amazing views on the continent.
Surrounded by a 25.000 m2 park filled with cypress, olive, palm, magnolia, almond, mulberry, citrus and bougainvillea trees, this historic hotel is famous for its literary terrace, which has always been a preferred meeting place for illustrious guests: from here you can admire the snow-covered Mount Etna, the sea and the splendor of the Greek theatre.
The reception rooms, with their large windows looking out onto the terrace, are the ideal place in which to do a little reading and they also provide an intimate, elegant and striking setting when in the evening the notes of the piano gently resound. All the exquisitely furnished rooms have balconies or terraces.
The suites-almost all of which have large terraces-bring to mind the magnificence of Sicilian Baroque without overpowering, thanks to the use of fresh colors and fabrics which provide an elegantly faded feel.
All rooms are equipped with air conditioning, alarm clock, bathrobe and slippers, complimentary newspapers, computer data port, fresh fruit, full-length mirror, hairdryer, international direct dial telephone, laundry service, mini-bar, remote controlled television, safety deposit box/in-room safe, satellite television, smoke detectors, sprinkler system, turndown service, voicemail, wake up call.
The different rooms are:
Double/Twin Classic room, with classic furniture, a small table and two chairs, without sea view;
Double/Twin Superior room with classic furniture, a small table and two chairs, with balcony, sea and Etna Volcano view;
Double/Twin Deluxe room, with classic furniture, a small table and two chairs, with terrace, sea and Etna Volcano view.
Junior Suite Classic, with classic furniture with living room area, without sea view;
Junior Suite Superior with classic furniture with living room area, balcony, sea and Etna Volcano view.
Junior Suite Deluxe, with classic furniture, living room area, terrace, sea and Etna Volcano view.
Whit its magical setting, the restaurant "Il Dito e la Luna" offers exquisite Sicilian and Mediterranean specialties.
The distinctive "La Zagara" bar - a superb work in plaster by expert Sicilian craftsmen - provides the magical and unforgettable atmosphere of an early 19th century winter garden, something that was seldom missing from noble residences of the Baroque period.
The hotel offers a swimming pool and Health & Fitness Centre, as well as a multifunctional conference room which is available for meetings, gala dinners and fashion shows, providing an exclusive atmosphere and excellent service.
