Castello di San Marco Charming Hotel & SPA

Best of everything. Traditional, beach across the road, restaurant options close by and 20min drive to Taormina. Beautiful hotel and amazing staff and surroundings.

Et super dejligt hotel og god service i receptionen. Maden var virkelig ikke særligt god, hverken morgenmad eller frokost. Vi prøvede også deres aften restaurant, men maden var desværre decideret dårlig. Generelt mangler hotellet lige det sidste for på nogen måde at være pengene værd. Og til den pris det har, så kan jeg ikke anbefale det

A delightful restored palace that was an ideal place for a relaxing break. The building and gardens are very pretty, with a nice pool and easy access to the beach nearby. The location is relatively close to Taormina but well away from the tourist trail so it's ideal for a bit of peace and quiet. Breakfasts were very good with a large amount of choice and there is a nice bar in the gardens. There are great views across to Mount Etna throughout the property.

The on-site restaurant is quite high end and expensive, so not really feasible to eat there every night if you're staying for a while. However, there is an excellent local restaurant right outside which is a great alternative. If you're staying you really need a car. It's a short drive to get to Taormina and the autostrada for elsewhere in Sicily but would be much more difficult without your own transport.

This hotel is beyond incredible, the grounds are immaculate. Our family enjoyed the gorgeous pool and sea. We were there in July. Everyone was so welcoming and we would absolutely come back. Just a 15 minute drive from Taormina.

Loved the property. But gaining entrance was problematic. The front gate/entryway is pedestrian only which we did not know beforehand. And that's where Google maps dumps you. You need to go to the parking lot (parcheggio) down the road from the main entrance and be buzzed in to the lot by the front desk. But no one tells you that. And the sign for the lot is small. So beware.

My partner and I stayed here for a week long holiday. The property and staff are amazing. Good dining on and near property and amazing pool and beach. Taormina is a short taxi ride away and very accessible. Quiet and romantic. Staff is great. We will be returning.

I absolutely loved the Pool, the grounds, gardens, the cocktails at the pool the bar and in the restaurant were all perfect craft cocktails which make the world of a difference. The ambience was very calm, laid back and all the facilities were clean, updated and picturesque. We will definitely return and stay longer. It was a beautiful stay worth every dollar.

I would say if anything the location of the hotel is a little bit out in the middle of nowhere, not necessarily a bad thing if you like peace and quiet. the beach was nice and chill, Not as fancy as you would expect with the hotel.

Charming with history.

Needs updating of the rooms a bit outdated and poorly maintained.

The resort is like a gorgeous and peaceful oasis near the frenzied touristy Taormina. The location was like a movie set Italian villa. The staff were excellent, the room was clean and lovely. The morning breakfast was outstanding. Would stay again and again.
