Castello di San Marco Charming Hotel & SPA

Beautifully manicured garden and orchard. Excellent location with beach proximity. Gorgeous pool area. Sicilian cuisine was outstanding. Staff is friendly and attentive. A highly recommended place in Sicilia between Taormina and Catania.

Nothing !

Beautiful and quaint hotel in the perfect location. The room we booked (Junior Executive Suite) was a good size and it was also well equipped. The breakfast setting and selection was great as well. The pool is also nice and chill.

The service could do with some work. I work with hospitality a lot and i find that the service was somewhat on the drier side of things. Some of my simple requests were denied (like moving from one lunch table to another, beside the pool).The main building, the 'castello' is also somewhat off-limits. It would've been cool to explore it or live in it.

We highly recommend this idyllic hotel with its exceptional grounds, excellent location, beautiful pool area with easy access to the stunning beach and all the hard working and helpful staff.

There is nothing to improve here they have thought of everything and more

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Needs updating of the rooms a bit outdated and poorly maintained.

Glorious location, very kind staff, and lovely remodeled rooms.

Unique luxury hotel, stuff are amazing, very good restaurant, place to come back.

Rooms interior feels old

Excellent hotel, located above all others, excellent service, exemplary cleanliness, excellent facilities. We had the honor of participating in the opening event of the excellent chef's restaurant. Special mention to Flavia, the receptionist, who was always at our disposal with a smile and essential information. In short, an excellent hotel.

The property is located in a castle of the 19th century surrounded by a garden and with access to a black beach. The staff was superb and everything was well taken cared of. Big spotlight on the breakfast served in a very elegant room with excellent homemade cakes, regional products, and more. We loved it.

A bit far from everything you need the car for almost everything.

We like everything. !!!

. on the hotel grounds everything is beautiful, almost perfect and outside there is rubbish lying around. everywhere. on the beach dirty. horrible view.

Absolutely beautiful. Old Castle which remains a family home. 30 rooms in single storey bungalows or terraces scattered around the gardens. Large pool. Utterly peaceful. Spotless. Staff fantastic. Restaurant out of this world. Fabulous breakfast Just over an hour from airport. Twenty minutes from Taormina.Room had a kettle and cups to make a cup of tea. The only place we stayed that had this.

You definitely need a car.

Stunning historic buildings set in beautiful, mature gardens next to the beach. Wonderful service from professional staff. Atmospheric wine bar and restaurant. Large pool area surrounded by beautiful gardens. Lovely food, artistically presented.

Excellent staff. Kind and fun.

The only problem we had was an ant issue. The last 2 nights, I had several crawling on me while I was sleeping. We couldn't have any drinks or snacks in the room because one crumb would send tons of them into the room.

The location is lovely. Beautiful gardens and private beach. The staff are also highly attentive and kind.

You need a car or just accept you won’t leave the castle (which isn’t the end of the world) or just get taxis like us to places.

Best pool ever, children really loved it. The gardens are very well maintained and beautiful! Good breakfast and coffee. Big size property so it almost felt like we were the only ones there.

It is hard to find faults in this property but perhaps the only thing was that breakfast room was inside and it gets hot in there.

Beautiful setting. Peaceful and serene. Delicious breakfast.

Couldn’t understand why we received a bottle of water when we checked in but never again. Most hotels would leave water.

Gorgeous pool area, bar and grounds. Room was big and very comfortable bed. There is a big difference in rooms, some not updated yet so fully investigate options. We had an older style but saw the new ones for £50 a night more, and had we had known the extreme difference, would have defo forked out the extra...next time!

Service could be a little better in terms of attention to detail eg pool bar often did not have ice and dirty plate left in room for two days.

Rustic, beautiful and lovely staff

Bedrooms perhaps could do with updating. Better bed and shower.

Amazing place with beautiful gardens and great proximity to the sea

The actual location is too far from the nearest town where you can take advantage of the bars and restaurants.

The property is one of a kind it’s not everyday that you can say you stayed in a castle.The staff Claudio and Flavia were very attentive and always happy to help. Daniel our driver was fantastic and even helped us do some ancestry research. All in all an exceptional stay

You need a car or taxi to go aroundA little on the expensive side side for taxi and meals
