“The hotel's Michelin-starred dining at St. George is a clear highlight, a distinction few Taormina hotels can claim; the blend of Sicilian and English design creates uniquely serene gardens. Though some rooms show their age, the historic design by Charles Robert Ashbee and tailored guest experiences still impress. It is a property of both beauty and some contradictions.”
