Our tour of Taormina terminates with a blog post about hotels.
Normally, hotels are not blog-worthy. If you have seen one hotel, you seen them all.
In the case, two hotels in Taormina were especially interesting.
The first is the cliff side hotel where we stayed, the aptly named Hotel Monte Tauro. Because Taormina sits atop a steep hill, some of the hotels there are constructed on the side of the hill. They are engineering marvels.
Below is a view of the top of our hotel, with the lobby on the top floor and the rooms on the floors below.
The all-glass elevator provided a view of the hotel's many balconies and the pool.
The hallways in the hotel offered a view of the cliff side, showing how the hotel hugs the hill.
The other hotel that is blog-worthy is a luxury hotel in the center of Taormina, the Grand Hotel Timeo. Below is a photo is the hotel's entrance. The hotel is noteworthy for its luxury rates, starting around $1,000 per night for a room, and for its famous guests, including King Edward VII of England, D.H. Lawrence, Truman Capote and U.S. President Donald Trump. If the walls could only talk. Oh my.
Thanks for touring Taormina with us.
