This superb hotel is excellent value if booked via a tour company. We went with 'SimplyB' - a subsidiary of the UK holiday company Thompsons (I don't know how high the room rates are if you go it alone). My partner and I were there mid-May which is lowish season. Our room was upgraded to a wonderful suite in one... More

This hotel is a gem away from the winding roads and busy streets of Taormina and environs. Just 8 km to Taormina and a few more to Castelmola, it is right by the untamed beaches. The garden in itself if beautiful with many citrus trees and their delightful scents. We were offered a free upgrade which was very welcome. We... More

My fiancé and I booked in here for a relaxing break in September 2011. We were allocated a romantic room which was relatively expensive but reckoned it must be worth it based on all the reviews on here. Trust me, it was not!! The room was very very dark and old fashioned with a dingy little bathroom with shower no... More

On arriving we had a very warm welcome, we were shown around to the Spa & Pool area then to our room, the rooms... More

We spent a week at the hotel and wish we'd read all the reviews prior to arriving at the hotel as we would have been better informed. We booked via the Thomson website and paid extra to get a 'Junior Suite with Balcony'. We were told we had been upgraded to a better suite so I was therefore disappointed to... More

After a very hectic few months we wanted a holiday somewhere where we could relax, chill and recharge our batteries. We walked through the impressive wrought iron gates of this lovely old castello and wow! - did the family owned and operated Castello Di San Marco deliver!! The clean, 'rustic style' accommodation is situated in the beautiful gardens, a relaxing... More

We went for a week in August. The hotel is situated about 20 minutes bus / car ride from Taormina and is adjacent to the beach at San Marco. It is literally an old castle that has been beautifully renovated and maintained - there is even a ruined church in the gardens. We had rooms in the gardens which are... More
