A former 14th century monastery, the San Domenico Palace Hotel offers views of incomparable beauty, as described by Goethe in 1767. Historical patrons such as Wagner and Guy de Maupassant found inspiration in the hotel*s luxuriant gardens, where fragrant orange blossom, rose and jasmine bloom in striking contrast against the snow-capped backdrop of Mount Etna. Today, the unique atmosphere and unsurpassed hospitality continue to attract the most discerning clientele.
