An introduction to Relais San Giuliano

How would you describe Relais San Giuliano in a nutshell?


A boutique hotel where you can find history, beauty, a warm welcome and experience the Sicilian way of life.


How would you describe the atmosphere at Relais San Giuliano?

It is a relaxing boutique hotel with a typical Sicilian family atmosphere. It is a little gem at the foot of Mount Etna where you can lose sight of the outside world.


To you personally, what is so special about Relais San Giuliano?


Relais San Giuliano is timeless: a corner of paradise, where tradition and modernity can live in symbiosis and where you can enjoy good services and privacy. 


Please tell us about the food.

Our delicious continental breakfast including typical Sicilian fresh produce and pastries is served in a corner of the ‘palmento’. Lunch is usually a light meal served by the pool with salad, homemade pasta and southern Italian specialties. Dinner at the restaurant gives you the possibility to taste typical Sicilian cuisine with a fresh touch.

Is your hotel best suited for couples, families, groups? What’s your policy on kids?

Kids and pets are welcome like in every family! We are happy to provide cots on request and usually also provide toys that kids can use in the swimming pool (inflatables and little items).


On request, we can also organize a babysitting service. In any case, kids will enjoy special treatment by all the staff who are happy to entertain them during the day.

Relais San Giuliano reviews

5 of 5 stars
Verfied Welcome Beyond stay
What a beautiful place, glorious food and a 5 star service. It has everything in one place for a perfect relaxing but also exploring holidays. Better to go in May and/or June, as the weather wasn't on our side and we could only enjoy swimming in the pool when using the spa and on the last day. Can't fault it would go back and stay forever if i could. The restaurant tasting menu must TRY!!

The location of Relais San Giuliano

Relais San Giuliano is located on the east side of Sicily, in a little city on a hill at the foot of Mount Etna, near the most beautiful Sicilian sights to visit. Catania is only 15 km away, Taormina 25 km and the beautiful towns of Ragusa and Noto are only 100 km away.

In this part of Sicily, you can find slow food, historic sites, traditions, heritage, the wonderful coast and the dramatic mountains.


When is the best time to visit Sicily?

Thanks to the Mediterranean climate, Sicily is perfect to visit all year. The sun is shining almost every day, but for me the best times are spring, the beginning of summer and autumn.
