Reviews for San Domenico Palace, Taormina, a Four Seasons Hotel

Good times!!!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 days ago

The property is stunning. Rich history and recent Renovations made it a great place to visit. Having been featured in the white lotus also added a bit as we loved the show. Rooms were a bit cozy but it was a retired monastery so that’s what you get. Definitely not a value based decision.

White Lotus bar experience

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 weeks ago

My visit to the White Lotus hotel bar left me with mixed feelings. On the one hand, the venue is stunning – elegant interiors and atmospheric lighting create a unique ambiance that perfectly complements the softly playing music. The atmosphere is ideal for both intimate gatherings and moments of relaxation after a long day. The service, especially our waiter, was professional and discreet, which enhanced the overall experience. Unfortunately, there were also significant drawbacks. The most troubling issue was the outrageous behavior of the floor manager, who reprimanded the waiter in front of guests for something trivial – not picking up an olive that had fallen from our table. What made it even more absurd was that the waiter had handled the situation perfectly, picking up the olive so discreetly that I barely even noticed. The entire scene was unnecessary and embarrassing. Another downside was the overly dim lighting. While it initially contributed to the atmosphere, over time it became a nuisance. Additionally, no one offered to take our soaked coats, even though we had been caught in heavy rain on our way to the hotel. As a result, we had to drape them over the backs of the otherwise very comfortable chairs, which slightly diminished our comfort. The appetisers served with the bottle of wine were also disappointing – rather average in taste and far below the standard one would expect from a hotel of this caliber. In conclusion, the White Lotus bar has great potential, but certain organizational details and the management’s approach need improvement. If you appreciate a beautiful ambiance and good service, it’s worth a visit – just hopefully without any unpleasant incidents.

A Sicilian dream: our magical stay at San Domingo Palace

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 month ago

Our stay at the San Domingo Four Seasons in Taormina was an unforgettable experience, straight out of *The White Lotus*. This palatial hotel perfectly captured Sicily’s charm, offering stunning views of the Ionian Sea and Mount Etna from our luxurious terrace. The staff's exceptional service made us feel like royalty. Every detail—from the infinity pool that seemed to touch the sky, to the exquisite Sicilian cuisine—was pure perfection. The hotel’s location allowed easy access to Taormina’s treasures, including the ancient Greek Theatre and picturesque streets. San Domingo blends elegance, history, and the magic of Sicily effortlessly. It was the best hotel stay we've ever had—a true slice of paradise.
