No review is sufficient to adequately capture the splendor of this hotel. It is perfect in every possible way.
Nestled overlooking the sea, the location and property itself could not be more ideal. The rooms are modern but the common spaces stay true to the history of the building which is a converted monastery.
What separates this hotel from the pack and even other Four Seasons is the service. Lorenzo, Gabrielle, Anna, Carmen and all the others that played a special role in our vacation, we thank you for making everything so memorable.

From the moment we arrived to the time we left, it was an incredible experience. The hotel and setting are both stunningly beautiful, but it’s really the staff that makes this hotel exceptional. Everyone made us feel genuinely welcome and at home and seemed to be excited that we were enjoying it so much. They couldn’t do enough for us, with amazing attention to detail. I was there to celebrate a birthday and every department marked it in some way for me to make the day extra special. There are great restaurants nearby and the recommendations from the hotel were the best ones, and weren’t all fussy Michelin star (although there are plenty if that’s what you’re looking for) but the food at the hotel is also great. I nearly cried when it was time to leave because the whole week was out of this world. We’ll be back

This was one of the best Four Seasons we have ever stayed at. Set in the most beautiful town of Taormina, it wows with its centuries old architecture, incredible grounds, amazing views and impeccable Four Seasons service.
Some may have seen it in the second season of the TV show White Lotus but there are some differences. First of all, in the show, it appears that the hotel is near a sandy beach. That beach is actually in a town 2 hours away in Cefalu (also worth a visit) and the beaches in Taormina are a 20 min bus ride from the hotel. They are also not sandy but rather, covered in pebbles. Second, the staff is much friendlier than they are in the show.
The regular rooms are smallish but luxurious. The bathroom in particular is special. It is covered completely in marble with an incredible walk in shower. There was no bathtub. The room was also too small for two people to unpack a week’s worth of clothes so one person lived out of their suitcase. The bed was perfect and I slept like a baby.
Four Seasons sets a high bar when it comes to luxury travel and the San Dominico did not disappoint.

The location, food, staff and attention to detail are unsurpassed. Simply the best hotel experience I have ever had. We were treated like we were the only guests at the hotel. Cannot give enough compliments on every level of this hotel stay. The pool, the spa, the restaurant staff all exceptional. We did not want to leave the hotel. Will definitely return. We have traveled the world and have stayed at many high end hotels, and I can tell you that it doesn’t get any better than the San Domenico Palace. I highly recommend.
