Transfers to San Domenico Palace

San Domenico Palace, Taormina, A Four Seasons Hotel stands on Piazza San Domenico, in the historic centre of Taormina. The building began as a Dominican convent in 1374, on the residence Damiano Rosso gave to the order, and the Liberty-style wing added in 1896 made it one of the first grand hotels in Europe. Bombed in 1943 and reopened after the war, it is today managed by Four Seasons. Its two cloisters, the Great Cloister and the Ancient Cloister, and its gardens look onto Mount Etna, the Ancient Theatre, the bay and the town.

From Catania Airport (CTA) the transfer is about 65 km on the A18, just under an hour: your chauffeur drives you to the hotel on Piazza San Domenico and handles your luggage. From Palermo Airport (PMO) the journey is about 260 km, around three hours and a quarter; from the port of Messina about 55 km, around fifty minutes.

During your stay, the hourly chauffeur service takes you from the hotel to Etna, Syracuse, Noto and along the Ionian coast, with the timing agreed with you and with the hotel concierge.
