Santantonioresort

Santantonio Resort Riposto Sicily Without question one of Sicily’s Best Finds!! We had the pleasure of vacationing here in October 2024. We found Santantonio Resort to be an absolutely delightful Boutique Resort. It is situated along the Straight of Messina (the waterway between Sicily and Italy’s mainland), just a mile from local markets, souvenir shops, cafés and local pop-up events. The grounds of the resort are beautiful and meticulously maintained with tropical greenery, swaying palm trees and 100+ year old olive trees, and of course the stunning backdrop of water on one side, and Mt. Etna on the other. The resort is a modern newer build, and Super Clean! The food, Oh My Goodness THE FOOD! In our opinion it is equivalent to Michelin Star, using only the freshest and finest ingredients. During our stay we had the pleasure of meeting the owners of the resort Don Antonio and Carmela. Honestly, they are the most gracious, good-hearted people we have ever met! Their passion and pride in creating a beautiful resort for their guests to enjoy, and ensuring each quest has a meaningful experience while vising Sicily is exceptional. Don Antonio and Carmela’s passion and dedication is reflected in their staff. Each and every one of the staff members are very welcoming and genuinely happy to help you. Each day the Concierge had prepared something different for us to experience and explore. During our 2 week stay we visited Mt. Etna, explored Catania, Taormina, Siracusa, Avola, we took part in local events, and simply enjoyed the beautiful weather while lounging by the pool. If we could leave a 10+++ rating for the Santantonio Resort, we would! We travel often and have explored many parts of Europe, staying in the highest rated resorts and hotels. We never expected this Boutique Resort in Sicily to be superior to all the rest. We also found Sicilians to be the nicest people in all of Italy. We arrived at Santantonio Resort as guests, and left as family! We are counting the days until we return again next year! Grazie a tutti, a presto! Pipo & Ibolya

Great hotel on the water about 1km from the marina. We had a couple of nights here on our way around the north east coast of Sicily and couldn't have asked for more from this hotel and its staff. Our suite was super comfortable and the facilities at the hotel exceeded expectations. If you're in this part of the world, Riposto is a great example of a Sicilian town not quite suffering from an excess of international tourists - a good place to stage a day visit to Taormina from and enjoy a more relaxed stay in the shadow of Etna.
