This hotel was exceptional in every way, the staff, the service, the room, the breakfast. Simply everything. Well done Castello San Marco for thinking of everything !
Yvonne, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Relaxing week in Sicily

Lovely quiet setting. Very close to the beach. Great restaurant. Beautiful gardens. Very helpful and charming staff although, by the pool, sometimes hard to find staff or towels. A pack of hotel information in the room would have been useful - restaurant times/bar times/telephone number for reception & room service/local facilities etc.
Andrew, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely stay

The hotel is wonderful, set in beautiful grounds, very close to an enormously long, albeit unguarded and not well-maintained beach. Convenient for trips to Taormina and Mount Etna, but set on a quiet and secluded area. The restaurant on site is nice, and the one across the road by the beach is great, with friendly staff, good food and reasonable prices.
Marek, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel is located in a very quiet area but close to the main town and to the beach. The staff is very friendly and responsive to any question

Nice setting, next to the beach, immaculate grounds. Given the price, breakfast could be more substantial. Overall a good choice if in the area.

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.

Gorgeous old world property. Our room had a terrace on the 1st floor with gorgeous landscape. Wine bar was right next door and prices were very reasonable. Great restaurant..AWESOME STAFF and TAXI DRIVERS!
Georgeen, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
