Castello Tafuri

The castle was booked specifically for our group. It usually closes for the season at the end of October but they remained open for us. The staff (front desk, wait staff, & housekeeping) were phenomenal. The location and facility are beyond compare! I plan to return on a family trip in the future.

Super location close to the southern most point on Sicily. Hotel is comfortable and very smart. Great views from the restaurant and main veranda. Views from room veranda was however more limited due to the castellations on the high walls. Breakfast buffet was very good and the evening restaurant was good but not great

We enjoyed our stay our experience staying at the Castello was truly amazing I recommend it all great hotel

English An old castle in the southernmost part of Europe and Italy, renovated and converted into a hotel six years ago by the Tafuri family. It only operates during the summer. The building is spectacular. Very beautiful. The suites are very comfortable. The sea view is breathtaking. There is a lovely, large pool and paths to walk down to the sea over the rocks, although the hotel does not offer a beach, and there is no sand. Good breakfast. While the hotel is easy to spot from the road, it is very difficult to find the streets to reach it, and there is no signage. Additionally, to open the entrance gate, a code is required, and it is best to request it by phone in advance. As the hotel operates only six months a year, the staff lacks experience, has many doubts, and provides few answers. Finally, something that caught my attention is that there is a €50 penalty for checking in after 11 PM, which is not mentioned on their website when making a reservation. Italiano Un vecchio castello nel punto più meridionale d'Europa e d'Italia, ristrutturato e convertito in hotel sei anni fa dalla famiglia Tafuri. Funziona solo durante l'estate. L'edificio è spettacolare. Molto bello. Le suite sono molto comode. La vista sul mare è mozzafiato. C'è una bella piscina ampia e sentieri per scendere al mare tra le rocce, anche se l'hotel non offre una spiaggia e non c'è sabbia. Prima Colazione completa. Anche se l'hotel è facilmente visibile dalla strada, è molto difficile trovare le vie per raggiungerlo e manca di segnaletica. Inoltre, per aprire il cancello d'ingresso è necessario un codice ed è meglio richiederlo telefonicamente in anticipo. Essendo un hotel che apre solo sei mesi all'anno, il personale manca di esperienza, ha molti dubbi e fornisce poche risposte. Infine, qualcosa che mi ha colpito è che c'è una penalità di €50 per il check-in dopo le 23:00, che non è menzionata sul loro sito web al momento della prenotazione.

Lovely place, great pool, nice people. We hope to go back :)

Best place to be... Einfach Top!
