Alberghi e Resort di lusso

The food at both restaurants was very bad. The ingredients and quality of cooking was way below standard. We were both very disappointed with it. Even returned meal twice for undercooking.

Castello San Marco is a lovely hotel with "charming" (for which I interpret interesting and good quality design, with period features - not the average, sterile environment of chains) well equipped apartments (air con, power sockets, wifi, TV [if you ever needed it!], etc.). The pool is good, with an adjoining small restaurant for lunch. Access via a back gate to the hotel's private beach area (with lots of sun lounger/shade space). Spa is good, and worth a visit. Beautiful location - there were 2 or 3 weddings hosted in the grounds. Staff are incredibly helpful. Restaurant (breakfast and dinner) was good. Only down-sides were: CSM is quite isolated - 40 euro cab from Taormina (which is worth visiting); sun shades around pool are too small, so you cannot lie flat in the shade; there were already quite a lot of wines unavailable in the restaurant in late July.

Nous avons passé un très agréable moment à l'hôtel, et avons également très bien mangé, e demi-pension. un seul petit bémol : nous n'avons pas pu disposer du lit bébé la première nuit, malgré ma réservation.

Hotel plein de charme à l'écart des endroits les plus touristiques ; parfait pour ceux qui recherchent le calme et la sérénité ...; avons eu le privilège d'être quasiment les seuls dans l'hotel lors de notre séjour ( 1ere semaine de mai donc hors saison ). Accueil très chaleureux avec une responsable parlant très bien français ! Grandes chambres agréables avec terrasse privative donnant sur la mer ... (mais beaucoup de moustiques !) Petits déjeuners très corrects (pas de jus de fruits maison mais salade de fruits frais tous les jours qui compensaient !).... Rien à redire .... Notre groupe garde un excellent souvenir.... A recommander .
