Italy Travel Guide Inspired by the “White Lotus” Series.

The regulars of the White Lotus Hotel are making their way to Sicily in season two. Sicily, which has a rich history and cultural diversity, owes its heritage to the Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Normans, Spaniards and French who passed through its lands throughout history. Guests of the White Lotus Hotel, which is located in the northeast of Mount Etna, Italy’s largest volcano and a glimpse of hell, while on vacation in Sicily, make frequent excursions from Taormina to Palermo. We created a travel guide inspired by the TV series “The White Lotus”, created by Mike White.

San Domenico Palace, Four Seasons Hotel

The Palace of San Domenico, the new Four Seasons Hotel in Taormina, a town in the province of Messina, is a well-established structure. The building, which was built as a private residence for Baron Damiano Rosso d’Altavilla in the 14th century, was handed over to the Dominican order for use as a monastery when the Baron died. At the end of the 1800s, the new owner of the building, Prince Cerami, turns the building into a hotel to host celebrities of the time such as Greta Garbo, Ingrid Bergman, Audrey Hepburn and Elizabeth Taylor. Located on a cliff, with the Etna Volcano in its background, and the Ionian Sea in front of it, the White Lotus in the TV series, the Four Seasons Hotel in its original name, combines the historic design of Sicily with modern luxury. From rooms with panoramic views to a private swimming pool, the Four Seasons Hotel in Sicily is sure to get you on your 2023 vacation itinerary.
