A truly wonderful experience with amazing staff who all had great advice for trips and restaurants. With only 15 rooms, the hotel felt intimate, romantic and very exclusive. The grounds were beautifully kept, the pool was fabulous and our room was both stylish and very classy. The shower was very good and we had a balcony were we could sit in the evening with a room service meal which was delicious. The main restaurant had a taster and a la carte menu which was also fantastic. I cannot recommend this enough, you will not be disappointed.

It was all fabulous.

We had the most wonderful 6 nights here. Everything was perfect from the hotel’s beautiful design to the delicious breakfasts and food. My wife had a spa treatment which she said was among the best she’s ever had. Our room was perfect, with a gorgeous balcony. But every hotel is really only as good as its staff and I’m happy to say that we could not have been looked after better by Enrico, Irine, Ludovica, Davido, Marianna and everyone else (please forgive my misspellings!). They are a fabulous team for whom nothing was too much trouble. I can’t praise the Relais San Giuliano highly enough; it was an absolute DREAM. ❤️🙏

Very lovely and attentive staff. Beautiful architecture of the property. The restaurant was great too and the pool.

The only small feedback I would give is the soundproofing in our room wasn’t the best - we could hear a lot from the room next door, e.g talking, turning on switches and hairdryer.

Felt like an oasis of calm when we arrived. Staff very attentive. Wonderful facilities. Terrific food. A great place to decompress.

Not much to see within walking distance, so you'll need a car or to take taxis.

Beautiful relaxed setting Staff were super friendly and met our every need so thank you. Very comfortable bed and powerful shower, good air con. Lovely pool area, even a pool party with dj on Saturday. Lovely comfortable Amazing food on site and incredibly breakfast included daily.

A few more hooks/ towel rail in the bathroom would be handy.

Beautiful grounds, fabulous pool and a lovely bistro for dinner.

Service was inconsistent, sometimes fabulously attentive and kind, other times abrasive and/or slow. There was a strong damp smell of one of the rooms we booked. They denied this at first when it was a v strong smell. We subsequently found two v large pots of baking soda to address the damp in different spots on the room. Our concerns were addressed when we pointed this out and a better room was found which we were grateful for. The bathroom of a different room we had booked also had a damp smell. We didn’t bother raising this. It’s a beautiful property but obviously a bit tricky to maintain.

The room upgrade to Melissa room was fab. Comfortable beds and relaxing vibe. The gardens were very nice. Concierge were very helpful and staff was friendly. Gourmet restaurant food was excellent

There wasn't anything particular I didnt like but the place lacked atmosphere. Very few people at the hotel. Service was slow at breakfast and no decaffeinated coffee on one day. More emphasis on Sicilian wine would have been better. Location was OK but having just come from another hotel in the south, which was in the countryside, it seemed noisy in comparison. Other 2 hotels we stayed at had spas which we could book for 1 hour at no additional cost. €40 per person was a bit steep.

Incredible service from very friendly and knowledgeable staff. It is a small hotel so eacu guest is made to feel very special. Very relaxed and beautiful setting with an amazing pool. Michelin calibre dining at ipalici. We've had taster menus at Michelin star restaurants and this was definitely up there! The passion in the presentation really came through and the flavours were first class. There is an equally amazing winery (Benanti) just across the road so ideal for wine lovers.

Breakfast could be improved - more savoury options and didn't appear to be replenishing the buffet so a lot of the options ran out. No iron in the room, which is a basic expectation. Pressure of shower could be improved.

This is no doubt the best place to stay to visit Taormina and Catania. We’ve started here our road trip in Sicily. It couldn’t be better. The staff is amazing, very professional and still warm and helpful. If you can’t stay here, at least try the restaurant and take every advice from Martina, the sommelier.

beautiful property in close proximity to mount etna and some great vineyards, the restaurant was also very good as was the breakfast, good wifi throughout

the ac in our room wasn’t really working, they lock the setting at a certain temp and you can’t make it lower, it was hot and not nearly cool enough to be comfortable. there also aren’t any hooks to hang towels in the shower which was weird. lastly if you book via booking.com they charge you a daily fee to park
