"San Domenico Palace, Taormina, A Four Seasons Hotel might be completely out of your budget, but that doesn’t mean you can’t experience Sicily in a more affordable manner. “Italy's largest island is a year-round destination, with the exception of a few coastal towns like Taormina and Cefalù … [and] it's an absolute pleasure to travel there in the offseason (from November to April), with very reasonable hotel rates and some of the best value dining in all of Italy,” says Ternavan." - Travel + Leisure Editors

"Located in one of Taormina’s prettiest but most precarious locations (on the bluffs of the hill town), Four Seasons San Domenico Palace began its life in the 14th century as a monastery before transforming into a luxury retreat in 1896. These days, it’s Instagram famous, thanks to its starring role in the second season of White Lotus, and it’s easy to see why it was such a compelling setting. The resort features panoramic views of the Ionian Sea, Mount Etna, and the ruins of the town’s ancient Greek theater. San Domenico Palace also has its own lavender-scented, lemon tree–lined private garden and a 70-foot-long infinity pool that seemingly drops into the sea." - Erica Firpo, Laura Itzkowitz
