Fodor's Review:

Sweeping views from this converted 15th-century Dominican monastery linger in your mind: the sensuous gardens—full of red trumpet flowers, bougainvillea, and lemon trees—afford a dramatic vista of the castle, the sea, and Mt. Etna. Expect luxury and ease at this hotel, considered to be among the best in Europe. Rooms have hand-painted or hand-carved furnishings, exquisite linens, and ultramodern amenities. Not all have sea views, but at this price you should make sure to ask for one. The San Domenico's Renaissance flavor is preserved by two exquisite cloisters, convent rooms, and the chapel, now a conference facility. Pros: Overflowing with character, attentive service, quiet and restful. Cons: Very expensive, dull corridors, some small rooms.
