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. ❤️🙏

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

The property itself is quite stunning and beautiful. Breakfast was varied and pleasant too.

Our room was quite small. The shower was very small and a large person wouldn’t be able to fit. It was also noisy. We could hear the other guests. No creamer for in room coffee. Extra charges for cooked breakfast and parking.

It’s an oasis tucked away from it all - stunning property with great attention to detail. The fine dining restaurant had food to easily rival places I e eaten with multiple Michelin stars . Poolside is lovely and rooms were great.

If you don’t have a car there isn’t much in walking distance - Viagrande is just an ok town

Lovely beautifully renovated luxurious property. Great accommodation 30’ from Catania. Very friendly staff.

Breakfast was good, but would have been nice to have omelettes/eggs/pancakes included in the price of bed&breakfast vs having to pay extra.

The hotel is stunning. It is kept in immaculate condition, the pool is clean, the interiors are stunning and the gardens are beautiful. We also enjoyed using the services onsite, such as the gym and the restaurant. The food is excellent and I would highly recommend going here. The gym is also very well equipped. The staff were very helpful and attentive to our needs. We didn’t do much in the local area as the Viagrande region is very residential, however for what we wanted it was perfect. On our final day we visited a vineyard which was 5 min walk from the hotel for a wine and food pairing session.

We had asked the staff for taxi bookings twice during our stay (you will need either taxis or a rental car to get around) but the quotes they provided us with were far too expensive. When we looked into booking our own taxis we got them for half the price they were quoting. It was very family orientated - lots of kids by the pool.
