What a treat to be able to spend a few nights in this beautiful oasis. The minute we arrived. Marco greeted us and The lovely ladies at the desk were welcoming friendly, helpful, professional. Every inch of the property was beautifully maintained and gave us a great sense of being in historic Sicily feeling like royalty . The restaurant which we ate at two nights was a surprise ,Michelin star  food, cleverly and tastefully each course was delicious. Wine list was full of beautiful Sicilian wines and a showstopper was having a very special cocktail made right at our table. I have had the good fortune from working so hard my life to stay at many four and five star hotels around the world and this will not disappoint . Our room was so comfortable, tastefully decorated & beautiful I didn’t want to leave the room . The beach was just steps away, and we swam in the beautiful Ionian Sea , the hotel is a destination, (we did go winetasting during the day at Benanti an excellent tour and tasting) hotel definitely worth a stay if you need to relax and want to be pampered -oh, and the swimming pool was magnificent along with serving cocktails and food poolside.

Nestled between the majestic Mount Etna and the splendid Taormina, Castello di San Marco is a baroque jewel by the sea. Dating back to 1689, this princely residence juts out into the infinite blue waters, offering a timeless blend of history, tradition, and Sicilian culture. 🏰 Elegance and Tranquility: The castle’s tranquil exteriors and softly lit interiors create an ideal atmosphere for romantic and relaxing holidays. The 28 elegant suites, nestled in the park surrounding the main building, provide a luxurious retreat. Fine Dining: Indulge in culinary passion at the ‘Giardino di Pietra’ restaurant. Here, Sicilian cuisine meets gourmet sophistication, with a menu inspired by local flavors and sustainability ethos. Don’t miss the organic vegetable garden tended with ancient methods. 🏊‍♀️ Swimming Pool and Private Beach: Just 50 meters from the sea, the magnificent swimming pool beckons. Imagine lounging by the water, with the private beach and terrace at your fingertips. 🎾 Tennis and More: Beyond relaxation, enjoy the tennis court, wine lounge with an impressive selection of 250 fine wines, and the Mediterranean park. The Murabito family, steeped in Sicilian tradition, extends a warm welcome to every guest. At Castello di San Marco, authenticity is the currency, and genuine smiles accompany sincere hospitality. Come experience a stay that transcends mere accommodation—a symphony of emotion and beauty. ☺️

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.

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.
