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, with the Ionian Sea sitting flat and blue beyond a glass balustrade.
You slip into the water just as the light goes amber, the Ionian Sea spread out beyond a glass balustrade, the old town climbing the hill to your left. That's the moment San Domenico Palace earns its 9.5 rating. The private terrace plunge pool sits flush with terracotta tiles, sun loungers pulled close, a bowl of lemons on the side table because this is Sicily and of course there are lemons.
If you're looking for a hotel with a private in-room plunge pool in Taormina, this is the one most people mean. Suites range from the Sea-View Studio with Plunge Pool up to the Teatro Suite, so there's a version of this terrace at more than one price point. The honest catch: some terraces face the hillside and the town rather than the open sea, so it's worth asking which outlook you're getting when you book.

Questions, answered
Is the plunge pool on a private terrace or shared?+
Each plunge pool suite has its own private terrace, so you're not sharing the pool or the space with other guests.
Do all the plunge pool suites face the sea?+
The sea-view suite categories are specifically named for their outlook, but the terrace views vary across room types, so it's worth confirming the exact aspect with the hotel when you book.
Which part of Taormina gives the best views from an in-room tub?+
The higher streets above Corso Umberto, around the old town and towards Castelmola, put Etna on one side and the bay on the other. Properties like Isola Bella Infinity Suites and The View Luxury Apartments Taormina are positioned to make the most of that panorama, so it's worth checking the floor plan before you book.
Are the jacuzzis and plunge pools actually private, or shared with other guests?+
Every suite we list has its own water feature, whether that's a jacuzzi on a terrace, a hot tub inside the room, or a plunge pool you step into straight from the bedroom. None of them are shared facilities.
