A Romantic getaway in a Magical Castle
We had a wonderful and unique stay at this renewed castle, converted to a boutique, high standard hotel. Beautiful and classy garden for breakfast included and luxurious dinner if booked. Amazing large pool overlooking the beach. An easy, 20 minute drive from Taormina. One point had to be taken off, sadly, due to the queen bed mattress which felt small and a bit squeeky and not perfect maintenance of bathroom. Other than that - truly a magical experience reflecting the vibe of romantic Sicily.

Interesting property that may have been a destination for the locals, but seems to be not well-kept, with many areas seem to be a work area that is not well kept. The bar was very nice but the SPA did not look very appealing with a large white chair lef at the entrance for no obvious reason. The front desk staff were very friendly, and the restaurant staff we very nice, too.

Beautiful setting, outstanding service
Hotel and grounds are beautiful, service was wonderful. It’s far from Taormina - transport is very expensive and can be delayed in the busy summer. Lighting in the room lounge area was subdued, and little things like bathroom and tea supplies were not replenished. It should be possible to have a fresh towel at the beach and pool if needed. These are little details but prevented a 5 star rating for this 5 star hotel.

A real gem
we really enjoyed our stay in this superbly renovated castle. World class accommodation in a spacious room, exceptional swimming pool. The restaurant Giardino di Pietra has to be tried for a gourmet dinner while the Wine Bar Il Palmento can not be missed.

Nice place with friendly stuff. Very picturesque. Far from anywhere, so car is a must. Breakfast could be better, no cheese or meat cuts served (in Sicily!!). As we were there, they continued repairs they could not complete off season. I would recommend.

Great resort style hotel away from the main city
We loved that the Castello San Marco was a little bit away from the main city of Taormina. The grounds are beautiful, (many weddings take place there, you could tell it would be a beautiful setting) the rooms very nice, clean and comfortable, and great amenities like a pool, restaurant and wine bar. We dined at the restaurant and it was one of our favorite meals of our trip to Sicily. It was also very child friendly, the staff was very accommodating for us and our daughter. I would love to stay again some day in the future.

The food was fabulous. The rooms are a little dark but had all the amenities. The spa treatments and the spa in itself were not good. Furthermore when we complained they told the masseuse who then confronted us. We thought this was very unprofessional. We had to leave at 5 am and there was nobody to help with our luggage. We were told we had to do it ourselves. It is also very isolated from anywhere.

Dream Hotel
We were amazed with this hotel. The room was big with separate bedroom. The grounds were massive with little gardens everywhere. Big pool. Wonderful spa. The massage therapist was very good. Very good restaurant with high quality food. Just outside the gate was the beach with a wonderful little restaurant with pizza and other Italian dishes at good price. Parking was secure. We can't say enough good about the hotel and staff. Will go back.
