San Domenico Palace, Taormina, A Four Seasons Hotel
Taormina, Taormina, Italy · ★ 4.8 Exceptional B.Booking.com 9.5
A private terrace plunge pool above Taormina's rooftops, with the Ionian Sea sitting flat and blue at the edge of the glass.
Slip into the water at dusk and the view does something quietly remarkable: Taormina's hillside tumbles away below you, terracotta and cypress, and then the Ionian Sea fills the horizon beyond a glass balustrade with nothing in between. This is what a private terrace plunge pool at San Domenico Palace actually feels like, and it's the reason guests rate the place 9.5 out of 10.
If you're looking for a hotel with a private in-room plunge pool in Taormina, this former Dominican monastery is the most serious answer. The pool sits on your own terrace, sunloungers alongside, hand-painted Sicilian ceramic pots adding a note of colour that feels earned rather than staged. One terrace looks back toward the ancient theatre on the hill; another frames an unbroken line of open sea. The honest catch: these are popular suites, so book early and be specific about which view matters most to you.

Questions, answered
Is the plunge pool actually private, or shared with other rooms?+
Each plunge pool suite has its own private terrace and pool, not shared with any other room or guest.
Which suite gives the best sea view from the pool?+
The Sea-View Studio Suites and the Executive Suite are named for their sea outlook, with the pool terrace oriented toward the Ionian; the Teatro Suite looks more toward Taormina's hillside and the ancient theatre, so it depends which view you're after.
How do you verify the tub is in the room in Taormina?+
We check with each property that the jacuzzi, hot tub or plunge pool sits inside that exact room or its private terrace, never a shared spa, before the suite shows up here.
Are the tubs private or shared?+
Always private. Every suite on Upgrade Suites has its own in-room or private-terrace water feature for your exclusive use.
