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. ☺️

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.
