The jeweler's London atelier has long been known for blending poetic artistry with technical mastery , and this season is no exception. Citrine and Golden Fire The collection opens with the Cocktail Ring Primrose RG Citrine, a sculptural duet of pear-cut citrines framed by pavé diamonds. It feels both botanical and architectural, a modern heirloom capturing sunlight in motion. For those who prefer minimalist radiance, the Prisma Signet Cocktail Citrine translates that same warmth into an emerald-cut gem set in a smooth gold bezel, an effortless statement of refinement. Completing the golden trio, the Prisma Citrine Drops elongate the silhouette with linear precision: golden citrines suspended beneath diamond-set bars, shimmering like late-day rays caught in motion. Cool Tones and Evening Depth For twilight moods, the Prisma Tanzanite Pendant pairs a cushion-cut violet-blue tanzanite with a pear-shaped diamond accent, an elegant interplay of light and shadow. Meanwhile, the Ethera Pendant, centered on a vivid pink tourmaline haloed by diamonds, channels autumn’s softer romance. Sapphire Serenity Sapphires anchor the cooler palette of the edit. The Orion Cocktail Ring dazzles with a deep cornflower-blue stone nestled among clusters of round diamonds, bold yet balanced. For subtle sophistication, the Tea Sapphire Bracelet places delicate round sapphires along a slender chain, an understated whisper of color that layers with gold or white metals. Modern Essentials Two pieces frame the collection with timeless versatility: the Olympia Half Set Eternity Ring, a fine row of diamonds encircling gold’s gentle sheen, and the Serene Hoops, whose clean silhouette embodies quiet luxury. For everyday luminosity, the Idyll Emerald diamond studs deliver refined sparkle in an architectural emerald-cut form. The Art of Seasonal Light In its Fall Jewelry Edit, 77 Diamonds captures the prismatic poetry of the season, from citrine’s golden glow to sapphire’s serene depth. Each design feels like a conversation between earth and sky, newness and reminiscence. This is autumn refracted through fine gems, crafted not merely to be worn, but to be remembered.

  • Rome's Jubilee 2025 Renovation Guide | What's New in the Eternal City | La Peninsula

    Rome's Holy Jubilee 2025 triggered the city's biggest infrastructure and cultural renovation in decades — a guide to what's changed, what's new, and what to visit.

Restoration information courtesy of Roma Si Trasforma , the official renovation map of Rome’s Giubileo construction Castel Sant’Angelo. The Colosseum and Capitoline Hill. Monumento di Vittorio Emmanuelle’s horse and angel-led structure. Piazza Navona’s gurgling fountains. Saint Peter’s Square. Millions of tourists flock to Rome each year with cameras at the ready, about to make memories and snap selfies of Citta Eterna alongside— Scaffolding. Orange construction netting. Re-routing polizia cars and traffic jams waltzing to the blare of taxi horns and shouting pedestrians. Rome in 2025 is not the tranquil la dolce vita capital savored by Julia Roberts in “Eat, Pray, Love” (2010). This year is Jubilee Year at the Vatican, a time of pilgrimage for Catholics celebrating 2,025 years of Christ’s Incarnation. According to the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops , Rome should expect 35 million tourists, almost more than double its 2023 numbers. For Catholics, it’s the Pilgrimage of Hope. For Romans, it’s the year of chaos. The city of Rome chose to renovate its monuments, fountains, and strade to prepare—but too little too late, as most of the construction chaos is expected to continue well into Jubilee year. “A record 3,200 public construction works are underway,” explains a July 2024 Reuters article, “Antiquated Rome revamps ahead of expected Jubilee millions.” The quote is a paraphrase of what was said by Mayor Roberto Gualtieri, who added, “This is an unmissable opportunity to make structural changes…and transform Rome. We are going to get a more sustainable, inclusive, and innovative city that enhances its extraordinary heritage.” Whether or not it’s sustainable, the city-wide makeover will certainly transform Rome—to the tune of 1.3 billion euros. This does not include 3 billion post-COVID funds from the EU, nor the 4 billion euro it is costing to dig a third Roman metro line, which will link Saint Peter’s and Saint John Lateran’s Basilicas right through il centro itself. Ready or not, here is a run-down of Rome’s renovation ripples (as of January 1, 2025): Re-opens: Baldacchino di San Pietro: The bronze Baldacchino housing St. Peter’s remains got a make-over in the fall of 2024, ending in October, which restored the glorious exterior to new life in its original gold leaf. The Pantheon’s Fountain : Located in Piazza della Rotonda, the fountain facing the Pantheon now boasts new, smoother-flowing waters and cleaner, sharper marble. The last time someone touched up the fountain was in 1575, when it was being sculpted by Leonardo Sormani himself. Trevi Fountain: Temporary steel bridges were constructed around the fountain during renovations in the last half of 2024, an eyesore that tourists and residents alike are happy to do away with in the new year. Piazza Navona Fountains: Fountain of the Moor and Fountain of Neptune The fully-restored fountains flank the main Fountain of the Four Rivers, Bernini’s 17th-century masterpiece that saw its own restoration project, completed in December 2024. However, a full renovation of the piazza itself will take up to 4-5 years, due to the construction of a new metro station. Piazza Farnese: Here, the piazza got a full make-over, including restoration of monument profiles to reinforce surfaces, bacteria and algae disinfection, anti-graffiti coating, waterproofing water basins, antioxidant metal treatment, plastering inspection, and aesthetic touch ups, among others. Running Renovations: Piazza Venezia: Stuffed with the most scaffolding, traffic dividers, and construction tape, Piazza Venezia is where Metro Line C is getting an all-new extension, as well as where archaeological sites are excavating. Expect blocked views of the grand Vittorio Emmanuelle II monument, well into the next decade. That’s right, decade . Fountain of the Four Lions, Piazza del Popolo: The fountain’s brick and travertine roofs will be chemically and mechanically cleaned, treated with biocidal, and restored with “non-functional grouting,” along with anti-graffiti measures. Renovations are expected to finish in 2025’s second quarter . Castel Sant’Angelo’s angel bridges: Completion of the statues’ restoration is expected in the first half of 2025, as its angels are wrapped in scaffolding so the stone sculptures can be cleaned and restored. Fontana delle Tartarughe: The fountains will be cleaned and enhanced, using a “ microclimate monitoring system ” that will allow the city to track environmental data from the fountains to control its conditions and maintain preservation for years to come.

Beauty defies definition. At Gioovanotti, it is a timeless abstraction perfected by Italian skincare experts. Cleanly-sourced and 100% vegan, Gioovanotti is dedicated to purifying, rejuvenating, and healing beauty at any age. With a strategy as natural as aging, Gioovanotti’s holistic wellness applies sustainability to all aspects of a skincare plan. Made in Italy and approved by dermatologists through clinical testing, Gioovanotti mixes science with wellness. Crafted to heal the effects of sun and weather exposure, Gioovanotti offers pure, water-based ingredients throughout many product offerings. Paraben- and cruelty-free, Gioovanotti’s timeless routine includes creams, masks and scrubs, serums, and soaps. The Ritual Hyaluronic Acid Serum glows with glycerin and hyaluronic acid to regenerate elasticity and smooth wrinkles. With only a handful of ingredients, the serum complements all skin types and is gentle enough for daily use. Morning application drenches the skin in all-day moisturization, allowing you to start the day with a revitalized glow. Related to this glow category is the Skin Brilliance Glow Mask . A thermal charcoal mask, this detoxifying formula purifies the skin of dead cells, dirt, and makeup residue. Cleansing, refreshing ingredients include white binchotan and organic mineral compounds like quartz, china clay, and sea salt. For a nighttime ritual ahead of the next day, apply a generous amount to the skin and avoid the eye area. Wait five minutes, then activate the mask with a warm water rinse. Finish with your favorite bedtime moisturizer. Day or night, used as scheduled regimens or random pick-me-ups, Gioovanotti’s core values stem from nourishment. The Vitality Embrace Collagen Moisturizer tightens the skin and soothes wrinkles. A blend of aloe, vitamin E, and colloidal oatmeal, this collagen formula promotes increased blood flow throughout the face. Applied as a nighttime rehydrator to soothe the effects of a long day, this moisturizer returns youthful vitality to the skin and radiates ageless beauty. While Gioovanotti targets facial signs of aging, it doesn’t forget about the hands. The Nourish Hand Cream is lightweight, grease-free, and portable for all-day use. Fragranced with delicate botanical oils, an ingredient list with avocado and grapeseed reduces pigmentation and wrinkles. Boosted with vitamins A, C, D, and E, the hand cream is the ultimate solution for silky-smooth, youthful hands. Natural beauty comes from natural production, from formulas to packaging. All Gioovanotti products are packaged with recyclable materials, promoting reduced waste and sustainable manufacturing, consumption, and end-user application. This holistic approach to skincare also manifests in Gioovanotti’s dedication to customization. As we age, skin types shift along a spectrum. Everyone's needs vary, something Gioovanotti recognizes and serves through its client-tailored skincare quiz. The quiz takes a deep dive into varying skincare needs. Whether you seek a revitalized overall routine or simply a single product, Gioovanotti gathers information about age, skin type, and specific hydration, blemish, or texture-correcting goals. From there, the quiz asks if you prefer oils, creams, serums, or liquids. Right down to fragrance, the quiz generates a product results page tailored just for you. Each recommended product is accompanied by an ingredients and benefits summary, streamlining your skincare journey to optimize fast results. Italy is known for its dedication to the bespoke. Slow-made, clean craftsmanship is a core component of Italian skincare, which feeds its definition of healing. Gioovanotti is not about anti-aging; it’s about revitalizing beauty that has always been there, utilizing an organic approach that synonymizes aging with timelessness.

Milano is a city with sidewalks that double as runways; street style is as head turning as the Duomo di Milano. Quality craftsmanship threads the city’s fashion aesthetic with an understated elegance—captured by Sophique Milano. This Italian footwear brand embodies the best of Milan street style, from the seamless blend of comfort and elevated haute couture to vibrant colors and eye-catching silhouettes. Simply, Sophique Milano’s shoes are designed to conform to the wearer, no matter the personal style, no matter where they travel. Where Milan Fashion Meets Everyday Life Founded in 2020 by Milan-born designer Sofia Papadimitriou, Sophique Milano is a modern love letter to Italy’s shoemaking tradition. Inspired by the distinctly Milanese blend of high fashion with versatile streetwear, the brand redefines Italian footwear as shoes that transition between the city’s chic fashion district and casual aperitivo nights in Brera. Buttery-soft Italian leather is at the heart of each design; from the classic Essenziale Loafers to the Operetta Mary Janes. Both in mens and womens sizes, the Riviera Mules and Essenziale Gomma Loafers come in a rainbow’s array of shades from Baby Blue to muted Stone. Elegant femininity breathes in the Trevi Tassel Loafer, with its low, understated heel and sophisticated color palettes of Blue Ink, Taupe, Sand, and Black. The Essenziale Heel Loafers, a rare blend of square platform heels and casual loafer silhouettes, adds a high-end flair for a fancier aesthetic that maintains the comfort of regular loafers. Italian Craftsmanship, Reimagined for Today At the core of every pair of Sophique Milano shoes is traditional craftsmanship. Alongside family-run workshops surrounding Milan, the brand crafts its shoes with techniques that involve honor generations of Lombardia’s cobblers. From the first cut of leather to the final application of Sophique’s signature suede exterior, the artisans utilize handmade expertise that is impossible to replicate by mass-produced footwear labels. While tradition sets Sophique Milano apart from its Quadrilatero della Moda neighbors, it also weaves modern consumption values into its products. Sustainable materials that have a low-impact on the environment form each shoe, which are shipped and sold in recyclable packaging. Italian Footwear, Worn Around the World Though rooted in Milan, Sophique Milano has already earned a place on the international stage. Stocked by leading retailers like Bergdorf Goodman and Stanley Korshak, the brand is quietly building a global following. Its appeal is clear: Italian footwear that channels the spirit of Milan fashion—elegant, effortless, and made to last.

Pineapple motifs, Venetian Murano glass, and fruit-and-floral prints are on display, with endless options to choose from. Headquartered in Florence, Aquazzura is typically known as a household name in luxury Italian footwear. However, at Milan Design Week in June 2022, Aquazzura unveiled a new branch of its design umbrella. Created by Founder and Creative Director Edgardo Osorio, alongside interior designer Fiona Leahy of Fiona Leahy Design , Aquazzura Casa entwines nature’s beauty with the dinner table. With Aquazzura’s signature femininity through its use of elegant color palettes, Osorio and Leahy deliver haute couture at home. The Secret Garden collection transports any tablescape through time, landing the room in an 18th-century garden party. Dine with authentic Chinese porcelains like any Old World aristocrat, with porcelain prints painted onto linens and ceramic dinnerware. All from the comfort of home, Secret Garden elevates your dinner party with bursts of garden color, blooming from tree branches with botanical greenery prints. “Fiona has always effortlessly brought my vision to life and, through her imaginative force, brings a beautiful narrative to the Aquazzura Casa Collection.” -Edgardo Osorio Tutti Frutti brings Capri to your cupboard, with the Italian island’s famous ceramics and linens decorating a tablescape with Mediterranean color all year long. Ripe cherries, bright lemons, and lush peaches adorn the plates, napkins, and utensils. With each piece, this collection bursts with the flavors, colors, and bounty of Capri. Cherry Blossom features ceramics that bloom with the Japanese sakura flower, blossoming across plates, bowls, and platters in a garden of celadon green, lemon yellow, and rose pink. The glassware are flower bulbs on thin, branch-like stems. Edged with a leafy silhouette, Cherry Blossom’s ceramic plates complete a tablescape of floral whimsy. Inspired by Osorio’s travels to India, the Jaipur Collection is a vibrant flight to the exotic. Geometric patterns redefine Aquazzura Casa’s elegance, painting the violets, purples, and pinks of India’s sunrise across every ceramic, linen, and tablecloth. Pineapple, Aquazzura’s emblem of at-home luxury, stamps the center of every piece and reminds your tablescape that when dining with you, pampering comes first. Murano Glass, handblown by the glassmakers of Venice, sculpts the drinkware throughout Aquazzura’s Casa collection. Emerald glasses pair with Secret Garden’s greenery, contrasting with forest-like glints. Yellow-gold cups evoke sunset’s glimmer, which feeds light into Capri’s fruits and compliment Tutti Frutti’s plates, platters, and linens. Pale lavender glass pairs with the vibrant hues of the Jaipur Collection, highlighting the exotic prints of India. With these pieces, the possibilities are endless.

Kissed by Adriatic breezes, San Clemente’s hills brim with bounty. Nestled in Emilia-Romagna, nicknamed “The Food Valley” for its iconic cuisine, San Clemente boasts a viticulture gold mine. Enio Ottaviani Winery. What began as a family of wine sellers in 1966 by Founder Enio Ottaviani skyrocketed into what is now a wine producer, end-to-end supply chain, and exporter to over 30 countries thanks to cousins and partners Davide and Massimo Lorenzi and Mileno and Marco Tonelli. Global Viticulture In 2004, Massimo Lorenzi took the winery to new heights with his vision to transform it into a global exporter. He started small; he hit the road in a van full of wine crates, driving it all over Europe and expanding Enio Ottaviani’s notoriety town by town. By 2013, Enio Ottaviani was exporting to over 30 countries including the U.S. and the Caribbean. A year later, they breached Asia, Africa, and even Australia. Wine Tourism, Romagnolo Style Enogastronomico, wine and food in Italian, defines Emilia-Romagna’s tourism. At the winery, it is the vehicle of the visitor experience. The Cellar, Enio’s tasting hub, faces views of lush green vineyards. Contemporary architecture brings a modern flair to the Enio Ottaviani experience. It also escorts visitors to the barrel room, where rows of cultivated Chardonnay, Romagna Sangiovese, Merlot, and sparkling wines. Here, visitors glimpse behind-the-scenes how Emilia-Romagna produces its best wine, honey, and olive oil. In addition to the immersive barrel room, a showroom and meeting area foster Enio Ottaviani’s signature “wine for friends” experience. Tasting experiences vary from wine type, land, and food pairings. The Local Wines: An immersive tour in the enogastronomia of Emilia-Romagna, this itinerary introduces the region’s best flavors. Local wines are the star of the show: Caciara, Dado, Strati, and Sole Rosso. Flavor pairings come with local cured meats from Sgambato di Mercatello sul Metauro, salami from Macelleria Stringati butchery, Cau & Spada cheese, and Enio’s own house-produced olive oil. Led by Enio’s winemaker, visitors will tour the barrel room and explore the vineyards in the heart of the Conca Wildlife Oasis. Goodie bags include a Pantone kit and a wine handbook for aspiring viticulturists to take on the go. Territorial: With the same offering as The Local Wines, this tasting tour incorporates grape varieties that thrive in Romagna’s unique climate. These include Mada, Clemente Primo, 928, and Merlot. White Wines: Visitors get to sample the region’s best whites in the Wine Shop, with an itinerary of five types: Strati, Clemente I, Mada, and Rebola. E-Bike Tour: Enio pairs with Romagna Bike, a cycling tour company, so visitors can explore just what makes San Clemente so special. Trails stretch to the beaches of the Adriatic, with cycle and pedestrian paths that zigzag through the Conca River Valley, between the River Conca and Morciano di Romagna, grazing Misano, Cattolica, and San Giovanni in Marignano and San Clemente. Before visitors depart, the winery will pack their group picnic baskets of wine, cheese, cured meats, and olive oil sourced from the bike routes’ surrounding landscapes. “During tasting and Wine Tasting Experience, you will find a selection of local products and producers. We have become friends over time, we chose them because we have a lot in common: the love of our territory and the deep knowledge of the raw materials each of us works with every day. People themselves are the real wealth of a territory.” Each tour is one hour long, offered from Monday through Sunday to groups of 10 or less. Small dogs and children aged 15 and above are permitted. Sustainable Agriculture The land feeds Enio Ottaviani, but Enio Ottaviani feeds it right back. Nestled in the Conca Wildlife Oasis, the vineyards stretch across 18 hectares of land, from the Adriatic’s coast to San Clemente. These hills are propped at a high altitude, which increases crop UV exposure and boosts grape health. The winey’s lands themselves stretch from the Wildlife Oasis to Morciano di Romagna. Here, biodiversity thrives. Hundreds of flora and fauna species flourish in the valley’s lush soil, an environmental element that Enio Ottaviani strives to preserve, protect, and nourish through its eco-responsive farming practices. “The link between all of these mentioned elements determines the great majority of the characteristics of our wines, and can tell our story much better than just a glass of wine... it is the story of our territory.” All crops are cultivated with a regenerative method. Integrated crop management, which optimizes crop productivity without chemical, biological, or cultural intervention. Quite simply, the winery’s harvest is au-natural. They were even awarded the SQNPI certificate for their compliance with the Regional Integrated Crop Management Guidelines. In the vineyards, weeds are controlled through copper, sulphur, and zero glyphosate or mechanical methods that are known for their harmful impact on the environment. “We aim at fulfilling the concept of CLIMAT, which is reached when a portion of land where the interaction between the subsoil, the soil and man’s know-how create a unique vineyard. The result is a wine immediately recognizable and balanced over time.” Bees are also used to pollinate crops with a natural, anti-pesticide method. Bee pollination also promotes healthier soil rich in nutrients, as the winery plants flowers through its lands to sustain bee food and habitats. This method also promotes regenerative farming that gives back to the earth as its resources are utilized, minimizing waste and optimizing Enio’s sustainable impact on Emilia-Romagna itself. The best part? Enio’s bee hives allow the winery to produce its own honey, too. Right down to the packaging, Enio Ottaviani embraces sustainable foresting practices. All packaging is also plastic-free. Any printed material utilizes Fedrigoni X-Per paper, which is pure cellulose and ECF, Forest Stewardship Council (FSC®)-certified. Singular Wines: Dado Romagna Sangiovese Among Enio’s barrels and barrels of whites, reds, sparklings, and rosé, its most notorious bottle is Dado Romagna Sangiovese. “A tribute to the tradition of Sangiovese di Romagna,” Dado is the result of years of cultivation and testing. Dado’s grapes are gathered separately from the main harvest; its conception began to “liquify” Enio’s overall identity. The winery chose to harvest Dado in targeted oils at high altitudes to maximize the benefits of sun exposure: between 60 and 260 meters above sea level. Planted on a truly lucky Sangiovese plot, Dado’s surrounding elements also cocoon its production in ideal growing conditions. Its Adriatic climate fosters mild winters and cool summers, which nourish rather than suffocate crops. This year-round mild climate provides the perfect habitat for the final product, cultivating an overall cradle of healthy, vibrant origins in the earth. Right down to the soil, Dado’s environment is perfect: untainted yellow ochre clay allows vine roots to take firm hold of the earth and thrive among pebbles, silt, and clay. The result? A red that effortlessly balances typically contradicting profiles. A sapidity that hits the tongue conjures the Adriatic’s sea-salt wind, acquainting flavor with coastal minerality. Sharpness is softened to a delicate overall taste, a fresh flavor that packs a punch but is earthy enough for sophisticated sipping. Its body also flashes a deep blue in some lights, reflecting on a violet-purple backdrop. This rich tone reflects Dado’s acidic balance with fruity notes of black cherries, raspberries, and strawberries. The earthy element grows from violets, black pepper, and tamarind. Dado’s culinary pairings are evergreen. From summertime spirits with a plate of light seafood to mid-winter dinners of hearty stews and white meals, Dado is the ultimate red that merges luxury and easy versatility. These endless culinary pairing options reflect Dado’s origins in its Adriatic altitudes, where that year-round climate perfection provides the foundation that will ultimately create a wine that can be enjoyed all year long, in any setting or temperature. As stated in the Enio Ottaviani Catalog, Dado Romagna is a singular experience: “Dynamic in the mouth, with an energy and sapidity that makes everybody fall in love with it. Dense and elegant tannin texture is perceived when paired with: fish in the oven or en papillote, white meats, stews. This Sangiovese goes well with almost everything.” The Future of Wine Enio Ottaviani is the traditional Italian winery for the modern palette. Ever-changing and adapting to the fast-paced global wine industry, the winery caters to expectations in eco-responsibility, agritourism, and quality of ingredients for a truly unique cellar. Through this spirit of innovation, every glass poured at the winery honors the legacy of Enio Ottaviani, the creator of it all.

In Mount Etna’s shadows lives a verdant gem of Sicilian antiquity. Grand Hotel Timeo, A Belmond Hotel, overlooks the Ionian Sea in Taormina, Sicily. From a crumbling Greek amphitheater and year-round Sicilian florals, to Michelin-starred dining and cliffside presidential suites, Grand Hotel Timeo transports visitors to the golden age of Italian glamor. Accommodations The La Floresta suite is the ultimate VIP experience for those who want a flavor of bespoke Sicilian hospitality. With 180-degree panoramas of Mount Etna’s volcanic heights, this signature suite has two bedrooms, a living room, and two marble bathrooms. A private terrace with its own jacuzzi immerses guests in nature-framed seclusion. The suite even comes with its own shuttle service to Timeo’s sister hotel, Villa Sant’Andrea, and its private beach. Propped at Timeo’s highest point, the Greek Theatre Suite is one with Sicily’s iconic jagged cliffs. Overlooking the glittering Ionian, with Hellenic views of the theater, the suite boasts its own terrace and lush living room beyond the sunny king-sized bedroom. The Deluxe Sea View Suite with balcony or terrace flaunts breathtaking views of the Bay of Taormina. Available with king or two twin-sized beds, these suites blend Sicilian opulence with seaside tranquility. All junior suites and double rooms feature sea or garden views, luxurious marble bathrooms, and spacious balconies or terraces. Tastes of Taormina Sicily’s menus are as iconic as the rest of Italy’s food regions, something Grand Hotel Timeo captures in an endless list of dining options. Otto Geleng, named after the famous German painter inspired by Taormina’s rugged coastal beauty, is helmed by Executive Chef Roberto Toro. Its Michelin-star menu is Mediterranean with a sophisticated flair. Culinary highlights include three tasting menus from the sea (Il Mare Intorno Siciliane), the land (Le Tre Valli Siciliane), and vegan/vegetarians (Orto Una Scelta di Gusto). Tuna Belly with cooked must, hazelnuts, and marinated red cabbage is a seafood entree with a unique flair. From Sicily’s three valleys, Plin with rabbit, pumpkin, goat blue cheese, and white truffle boasts flavors of the land. For vegetable palettes, Risotto with black cabbage, star anise, grapefruit, and white truffle round out Otto Geleng’s diverse plates. “If you can start with exceptional raw materials, you don’t have to alter the ingredients, you just have to know how to enhance them,” said Chef Toro. Ristorante Timeo, framed by Mount Etna and the Naxos Bay, is open for lunch and dinner. Paired with a menu of regional wines, Ristorante Timeo’s alfresco terrace lets guests dine on traditional fare merged with elegant outdoor aesthetics. Bar Timeo offers Sicilian aperitivo, with an antique atmosphere surrounded by a 19th-century winter garden. A signature cocktail is the Sunset Spritz, a chic take on a classic drink infused with passion fruit, strawberries, and Sicilian rosé sparkling wine. Light snacks include the Ionian scampi salad, a trio of red tuna from Favignano, and red prawn carpaccio from Mazara del Vallo. The Timeo Grill and Pool Bar provide a rustic poolside fare for summertime dining between laps. Refreshing salads, pizza, barbeque skewers, and other light meals round out the options. This includes the flaming Fire and Wine Menu, which grills fresh seafood, meats, and vegetables in front of poolside loungers that pair with carefully curated spirits. Sicily’s Luxury Side A lively events calendar and activity brochure let guests embark on the ultimate Sicilian adventure. Ceramic painting classes, scenic yoga sessions, and cannoli-making lessons are just some of the ways Grand Hotel Timeo immerses guests in la dolce vita siciliana . Seasonal updates are also added, including fall’s weekly “Autumn Scents: Chestnut Roasting,” “Sicilian Olive Oil Tasting,” and “Sicilian Wine Tasting,” both with Timeo’s in-house Wine Ambassador and sommelier Veronica Bonelli. The activities brochure is divided by land, sea, air, and dining. A walking tour of Taormina and Teatro Antico is a favorite highlight. The not-so-touristy glimpse of the charming town and its ancient Greek Theatre acquaint visitors with Taormina’s heart, both past and present. Jeep tours and wine tastings at the foot of Mount Etna get visitors up close and personal with Europe’s most active volcanoes--and its unique resulting flavors. Embark in Sicily’s time capsule to the ancient world with tours of 5th-century ruins in Syracuse, baroque UNESCO architecture in Noto, and Hellenic temples in Agrigento and the Valley of the Temples. By sea, Cyclops Riviera sails guests through rocky inlets north of Catania, where Ulysses fought a cyclops in Homer’s Odyssey. Boat tours to the nearby Aeolian Islands, Syracuse, and Taormina Bays are also part of the brochure’s oceanic options. Helicopter tours reveal a side of Sicily not seen by many, providing a seagull’s view of its cliffs, inlets, and islands. While Timeo’s on-site dining options allow guests not to leave the premises should they choose, the brochure outlines the best on the island’s eating scene. Dining experiences include a list of top restaurants frequented by locals for truly authentic cuisine. Categorized by Cocktail Bars and Nightlife, Pizzerias, Typical Sicilian Trattorias and Restaurants, Sicilian Upscale and Fine Dining, and Around Sicily, there is no shortage of options near and beyond Taormina. Brizza, Timeo’s exclusive offering, sits just six tables on the shores of a natural rock pool at the Bay of Mazzaró. Chef Agostino D’Angelo’s curated menu of locally-sourced ingredients and fresh, seaside catches make for an unforgettable dinner that takes “exclusive” to new heights. Grand Hotel Timeo, a Belmond Hotel, Taormina will reopen for the season on May 2, 2025.
