Opens May 2026.

The stated date has passed and the operator's pages have not yet confirmed the opening.

Villa Timeo is a 21-room residence just steps from the Grand Hotel Timeo in Taormina, Sicily, with views over the Mediterranean, Taormina and its ancient Greek amphitheatre. Belmond's release of 1 December 2025 set the opening for May 2026. Belmond's Grand Hotel Timeo page now lists 21 rooms in the newly renovated Villa Timeo, and a Belmond story page marks the villa open now.

Interior designer Laura Gonzalez led the redesign. The 21 accommodations are mainly suites and can be booked individually or for a complete buyout. Belmond lists an indoor bar, a private infinity pool, a terrace bar and lounge, and Bar Clementina for cocktails inside the villa.

Guests have full access to the Grand Hotel Timeo's amenities, including Otto Geleng, which the Michelin Guide awarded a star in 2026, and the terraced gardens. The hotel also lists Ristorante Timeo, Timeo Grill and Bar Timeo. A Dior Spa at the hotel, announced in the December 2025 release, is to offer Bio-Energising therapies and Haute-Couture facials.

The Grand Hotel Timeo lists a one-hour drive from Catania Airport and a three-hour drive from Palermo Airport. Its address is Via Teatro Greco 59, 98039 Taormina.
