Four Seasons San Domenico Palace, Taormina
15th-century Dominican convent perched above the Ionian Sea with Etna views and ancient cloisters
The Privata Perspective
Sicily's most dramatic address. The White Lotus put it on screen, but San Domenico Palace has been spellbinding guests since 1896. Etna looming above, the Ionian Sea below, and two cloisters of profound beauty.
