A glamorous Baroque castle between Mount Etna and the Ionian Sea, with a private beach - includes breakfast and a spa voucher for longer stays

Stately structures and archways rise to meet you on the cobbled pathways to Castello di San Marco, a grand 300-year old castle on the coast of Catania in Sicily. Set between the beautiful blue of the Ionian Sea, the skyward reach of Mount Etna and with horse riding, scuba diving, and sightseeing on offer, you won't know what to explore first.

Softly-illuminated interiors, stonework and fine décor reflect baroque Sicilian style. Spend your days lazing on the hotel's private beach, taking a dip in the large turquoise blue outdoor swimming pool, playing tennis on the floodlit court, visiting Aquae Leonis Spa for a treatment or enjoying authentic Sicilian food with modern influences in the hotel's traditional dining hall. Bliss!

Good to know

Please be aware that the beach is private from 1st June - before this time, the general public can use the beach. Beach access is subject to a €15 supplement and includes use of two sunbeds and a beach umbrella or gazebo (subject to availability).

We like

  • The welcoming hotel team, making you feel at home from the moment you arrive
  • The private beach, only a few steps from the hotel
  • The dining. Try the smoked swordfish with buffalo mozzarella, fresh tomatoes, basil-infused olive oil and ground pistachios - bellissima!
