GRAND HOTEL MIRAMARE

DESCRIPTION

• Rooms : 68, Classic Hotel, Stunning sea views, Beach, Refurbished 2007, Swimming pool.

• Perched high up in the mountains, the Grand Hotel Miramare enjoys one of the finest views in Sicily. A favourite since the 1920s, the hotel was extensively restored in 2007 to create a special blend of the grandeur of a mansion and all the conveniences and luxuries of the 21st century. The result is spectacular. Interiors are at once light and elegant, rich and sophisticated, while rooms are tastefully decorated in warm earthy tones and with classic furniture. Surrounded by trees, the hotel is just 400 metres from the town of Taormina, and just as far from the beach - meaning that here you really do get the best of all worlds. The hotel is completed with an elegant panoramic restaurant and bar, and a swimming pool with whirlpool.

• The rooms are quiet and bright, and most have a balcony with sea views. The main restaurant faces onto a large terrace overlooking the Strait of Messina and is the ideal place to try the typical flavours of Sicily. During the summer season you can also dine on the panoramic terrace, while during the day the grill bar by the swimming pool offers light meals and snacks in a relaxing atmosphere. Throughout the summer there is a shuttle service to the nearby beach, while in the grounds of the hotel you can enjoy a game of tennis. Car parking is available.

• The Grand Hotel Miramare is located just 400 metres from the centre of Taormina, a short walk away from the famous Ancient Greek theatre and the cable-car to the beach. The nearest railway station, Taormina Giardini, is 3 km away, while the airport, Catania Fontanarossa, is 50 km away. The ports of Catania and Messina are both less than 40 km away.
