Sharing my experience and situation at Belmond Grand Hotel Timeo in Taormina sicilia. The hotel consists of two separate buildings: the main Belmond Grand Hotel Timeo and the adjacent Villa Flora. Although the two buildings are part of the same property, they offer different accommodation. Belmond Grand Hotel Timeo offers more luxurious rooms and suites, often with stunning views of the Ionian Sea and Mount Etna. In comparison, Villa Flora is located about 2 minutes walk from the main building and provides accommodation without the same facilities or views.
Villa Flora has different entrances, addresses, and is separated by the (Greek Theater). Unlike the main building, Villa Flora does not have its own bar or restaurant. To enjoy services such as dining or bars, guests staying at Villa Flora need to walk to the main building. This meant leaving Villa Flora, walking through the busy streets near the Greek Theater, and weaving through the crowds to get to the main building. It was only 2 minutes, but imagine a lot of space and time to get down early for breakfast and think about it before going to bed at night. It's not very convenient to go downstairs to drink, or to change into a swimsuit and want to go to the swimming pool. For me, Villa Flora is definitely another hotel that shouldn't share the same name as Belmond Grand Hotel Timeo. A friend said that if his house price is almost the same as that of Ritz Paris, he shouldn't settle for it.
