Resort Borgo San Rocco

Absolutely wonderful resort. I have never experienced hospitality like this in a hotel. You arrive as a guest & leave feeling like a family member. The owner Vittorio is a warm, interesting man. All the staff are so friendly & welcoming. The food is exceptional. The location & views are unsurpassed. An amazing experience.

Beautiful hotel. We had a gorgeous triple aspect room. The pool is excellent, be it that sunbed cushions are very scarce and need fixing. The restaurant is atmospheric and the food very good on the whole. The staff however make the place, they are so warm and friendly. It’s a boutique home from home quirky hotel well worth a visit to stay with Vittorio and his family….

Something quite special about this haven in the hills above Taormina. Peaceful, spectacular, charming, delightful, restful… I could go on. The staff are so kind, warm, sparkly and engaging. Everything at Borgo San Rocco simply makes you feel happy. We are a family of five with ‘kids’ aged 17, 21 & 24 and they absolutely loved it - won’t stop talking about the experience. FOOD - amazing, so we ended up eating at the hotel restaurant virtually every night. And as for the lady making fresh sandwiches and salads by the pool - delicious!! Thank you Borgo San Rocco, we will be back, for sure!

Following the raving reviews, we had high expectations for our stay. To some extent they were fulfilled. But there is defiantly room for improvement. There are some positives: the view is amazing, the staff is very nice and helpful and the rooms are simple but ok. However on the negative side: the pool area is in a desperate need of some love and attention, it feels like nothing has been done since the 80s. The breakfast is the poorest we’ve seen for a long time - dry bread, almost no vegetables, canned juice. The restaurant on site charges outrageous prices for quite poor food - around 25 euros for started, primero and seconds each. We are much better food in the city for 1/4 of the price. It’s been more than 10 years since we visited a hotel with a normal, free WiFi - here you’re handed 2 gb cards. And the drive to the hotel is absolutely horrible. Extremely narrow road with sharp turns and steep ascents and descents. They should consider offering shuttle service to main square of sevoca. So overall, definently some positives but a lot that is not up to the standard you would expect given the reviews and the prices charged. Would not recommend for a family to stay.

What a find this gorgeous hotel resort high up in Savoca. After a slightly hair raising journey ( very narrow roads, don’t go in a wide car) We arrived at a tranquil haven, nothing was too much trouble all the staff were super friendly and very helpful. Our room was lovely and big with a great terrace overlooking the church. The only downside was the air conditioning wasn’t quite strong enough and turned off when the key card was taken out. We had a fan which helped otherwise we would have been too hot. The pool is beautiful with a bar and small restaurant for a drink or snack. The views are to die for, breakfast is lovely and they have a lovely restaurant for an evening meal which looked very good. We will definitely return here as it is so peaceful and friendly

One of the best places we have ever stayed. The staff and the owner Don Vito became family in the shortest of time, Breakfast was magic, Rosaria and Sandra spoil you with their friendly service, Francesca, Alexandra and Cristian are there to tell you about anything you wish to know about the places to go to or to eat. The chef is amazing and Davide will look after you every night in the restaurant. Finally Don Vittorio will spoil you every night, a great Gentleman. Cannot recommend enough, we are going back in September. Wonderful place. Word of advice: Take the SP19, and not the other roads!

We have been traveling for many years and this hotel tops them all! This place is a jewel! It is a family owned Borgo and from the minute you enter the hotel you are treated as a Family member!! To really enjoy this town you need to stay overnight as all the tourists leave and you get to enjoy the amazing Italian hospitality that San Rocco offers! Upon check in the Owner Don Vittorio invited to sit down and join 2 other couples for a pasta with wild fennel and capers he made along with white wine and some deserts! Have to eat at their restaurant as the food is amazing!!!

This hotel is exceptional. From the moment of initial email contact to our eventual departure, we were very well looked after by all the staff. It’s in a really lovely part of Sicily. Yes it’s a little remote but it’s beautiful. The food in the restaurant was first class. The room was very comfortable. The combination of a very warm welcome and a lovely place to be, made the whole trip (one week in our case) unforgettable. The owner Vittorio and the principal receptionist Francesca justify a special mention.

A family run, engaging, joyous place. All staff are friendly and helpful. Rooms have great views and the whole area is beautiful. We used the pool a couple of times: great sun trap until about 4pm. Great to chill at. We ate in the restaurant on 3 nights. Not the cheapest meal in town but quality of food was exceptional. I don’t agree with a review which suggested the portions were too small. My wife and I shared a starter and a pasta dish then had a main course each. We were stuffed. The owner is charming and makes a point of welcoming all guests and checking on them over supper. He would frequently bring some of his favourite wines out to share. Yes the road up to the hotel is a bit challenging but fine so long as you bring a small car and stick in low gear. One of the nicest hotels we have stayed in and gives you a perfect feel for the area after the Godfather tours have passed through. Of course if you are a Godfather fan, it is a perfect base. St Nicholas church is just up the hill and Bar Vitelli down the road.
