On the Taormina riviera, with the unconfoundable mass of Etna in the background and not far from ancient Naxos, San Marco Castle Resort of Calatabiano is a small and important part of Sicily’s treasure chest.
Commissioned in 1689 by the Prince of Palagonia, Ignazio Sebastiano Gravina Cruyllas, it is immersed in a luxurious 10-acre park. After painstaking restoration, some years ago the Murabito family opened the castle’s doors to visitors, offering the possibility to enjoy the warm welcoming atmosphere of this ancient residence.
The outside is suggestive: from the ancient towers to the park’s splendid gardens, from the Chapel to the ‘Palmento’ (wine-making cellar), to the labourers’ houses adjacent to the Castle.
Inside, large salons, lava-stone arches, fireplaces and splendid chandeliers: all the refined details of rich and ostentatious nobility.
The elegant suites and romantic bedrooms, all situated in the castle’s park, contribute to making your stay unforgettable.
The castle also has a well-equipped congress hall and it is an excellent place for gatherings and business meetings. The castle has various facilities: the renowned “Mastri Favetta” restaurant, swimming pool, fitness area, tennis courts and internet connection.
