“San Domenico Palace impresses as much for its history as for its views of Mount Etna. Once a convent, the meticulous restoration now frames a luxury experience that still feels distinctly Sicilian, where the charm lies not just in opulence but in the seamless blend of past and present. While the location might feel tourist-heavy, the hotel remains a true escape.”
