About the location
Holidays in Taormina marry history and culture to form an unforgettable experience in Italy. It’s perched at the top of Monte Tauro in the foothills of Mount Etna on Sicily’s Eastern coastline, between the cities of Catania and Messina. This ancient town offers visitors a view into the past with a number of elegantly preserved historic treasures, from the grand Greek-Roman Theatre to the equally impressive Palazzo Corvaja, which are just waiting to be discovered.
You don’t have to be a history buff to make the most of everything Taormina has to offer. Alongside the historical sights there are plenty of other attractions to take in. The main street, Corso Umberto, is traffic free and home to an array of shops and restaurants to rival any in the bigger cities.
There are also plenty of seaside activities to dive into thanks to the town’s coastal setting. Adventurous travellers can try watersports like wind surfing and snorkelling, while relaxing scenic boat tours around the gorgeous capes and grottos of the Ionian Sea allow you to explore at your own pace. Alternatively, simply spend long tranquil days on sun soaked shingle beaches.

The hotel is 1 hour from Catania airport. Return private transfers included. To change your transfers or book car hire instead, simply call us once you’ve completed your booking.

From the moment we arrived, we loved this hotel. Admittedly, it was off season and during the Covid pandemic, but the hotel was very comfortable, the staff were attentive, the room with the terrace overlooking the sea was spectacular and the level of cleanliness was excellent.
We will definitely return.

We found everything about the Grand Hotel San Pietro to be perfect. The breakfast buffet was one of the best we had ever experienced. Staff were extremely personable and accommodating. The hotel is conveniently located near The main street, Corso Umberto, which is lined with restaurants, jewelry shops and designer boutiques. The hotel provides a free shuttle to Corso Umberto.
I would return to Grand Hotel San Pietro and highly recommend it to friends and family.

Lovely hotel, with sensational views from sea-view rooms, breakfast terrace, and pool area.

Lovely hotel, with sensational views from sea-view rooms, breakfast terrace, and pool area.
Big rooms, nicely appointed.
Very helpful reception staff.
Reason why not 5* review...you'll want to use the shuttle bus to get up to the centre of taormina, as its a steep stepped 20min walk ( down is easy though). The shuttle only runs every hour and gets full quickly. We tried to book for the 7pm at breakfast time, and it was already full.
I feel the hotel should really do a 2nd run..many people were turned away and faced the long walk up, or ???15 taxi.
But other than that...Hotel San Pietro is a lovely place to stay.
