Such a beautiful place!!! And a special thank you for putting in a description of the dishes you enjoyed (at least in the first part)... I've always wanted to know what the dishes were. Of course I always look for your Eggs Benedict!! Many thanks.

As a local from there, thank you very much for sharing your impressions of Taormina and the Grand Hotel Timeo! We know the luxury and prestige of the place, even if most of Sicilians have never tried it! Would love to spend some nights in there and experience the amazing service myself! (only strange thing, again as a local... the price of a "Pasta a la Norma"... 28€ would make any sicilian Nonna and Mamma go crazy ahah)

I have read quite a few comments below this amazing travel tour. The Travel Expert is the best in the world doing these travel tours from all over the world. He reminds me of this guy Enes Yilamar that does amazing house tours he's the best in the world doing house tours all over the world. And exspecailly here in America where he lives in the state of California. He's perfect for doing house tours. And the Travel Expert here doing this travel tour in his video he puts on KZfaq. Is simply the best in the world.

It is always so pleasant to watch your videos and discover incredible places - some of them maybe to stay one day, others to dream awake - especially in these times of (re-)confinement. The beauty of the natural settings, the way the places have been arranged in various styles but always with taste, the way you film all this, together with the relaxing music, it all makes it a moment of pleasure and serenity. Thank you very much.

Thank you So much for bringing back memories of one of the two best places I’ve ever stayed. Your videos are the best I’ve seen, no useless chatter, beautifully filmed, gentle music, you allow the scenes to be foremost. My experience, we had booked an Airbnb apt in Catania, while the apt was great the host was awful. To have a break from that, we booked a small hotel in Taormina, there decent service awful room. Walking back from the Greek theater I noticed this beautiful building, walked into the lobby and spoke to the kind desk person, telling her ,my story of other lodging. I asked to see a suite (she upgraded us) and was enthralled truly. We left our things in Catania and stayed here for the rest of the week. The service, food, gifts left in our room, the views, the amazing bathroom, light etc were nothing short of -- fill in the blanks wonderful. We then took their complimentary limo to the Catania apt to pack up for our next leg in Sicily. Here’s the best part, re Belmond, the next day I received an email from the CEO of the company, asking for feedback. I specifically named two outstanding people, one the young woman desk clerk. The next day I received an email from her, thanking me profusely for my review, and what it meant to her. That’s Impeccable service. I’ve since stayed at 2 other Belmond’s Macchu Picchu and Charleston, both great properties but not the Timeo. They also bought the famed Copacabana Palace in Rio. Also thank you for the hotels history, I had no idea such luminaries stayed there; but it makes total sense. Love your vids, from a new subscriber.

The Belmond Grand Hotel Timeo is absolutely gorgeous, although I'm not sure about waking up to the view of an active volcano! I guess it's good that Mt Etna is letting off steam :) Prettiest eggs bene ever! The gardens were beautiful, and your suite was sweet! Love the old world charm of Italy and hope to return someday. I will be looking forward to more videos to brighten my days during the winter months.

Hey doc. Missed watching your vlogs. Italy is the only country I visited on the European continent. It was last May. Someone rightly said that I had raised my bar by seeing Italy first. I truly think it is a slice of heaven. I fell in love with the mediterranean vegetation. Imagine having dinner gazing at the active volcano Mount Etna. The view of the Ionian Sea is astounding. I adore the way you film the ambient sounds. In this clip the crunch crunch sound of gravel and the pleasant twitter of birds were so appealing. I am sure to go to Sicily on my next visit to Italy. It is worth going back several times.

Italy has to be one of the most beautiful countries in the world and you both compliment each other. I love what you do, but feel masochistic watching because I know I'll never be able to see them other than this way. It's better than nothing, but sometimes I wonder why I keep visiting, it a siren song:) Cheers, Rik Spector

Somewhat surprising to me, the Super Model Natalia Vodianova is married to Antoine Arnault, son of Bernard and Chairman of LVMH. In 2020, Ms Vodianova is a brand ambassador sponsor with Maxx Royal Hotels in Turkey not owned by the Arnault family.

I have started watching your channel recently and applaud you on your content. I was wondering are there hotels or resorts that you keep going back to because you are drawn to them? Secondly, are there any in which they might not have lived up to your expectations? I don't expect you to name any if they fall into the second question. Continue on with the excellent work and wonderful experiences you are sharing with us.
