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

My partner and I spent a lovely few days here after a sailing trip ending in Riposto. It is a small family run hotel with well furnished modern rooms - ours had a fantastic sea view with a nice balcony. The restaurant is good and the staff - amongst them Andrea and Luca and the wonderful Filipina lady - most helpful and friendly. Their amazing pool in beautiful gardens is a great feature - we spent many happy hours in and beside it on the uncrowded loungers. As a bonus there are stunning view of Mt. Etna. Riposto is not an obvious holiday destination but if you ever find yourself there I would most certainly recommend this hotel.

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.

My wife and I truly enjoyed our stay at Santantonio Resort. The location was nice, the rooms were very comfortable, well equipped and meticulously cleaned but it was the staff at the hotel that really made our stay so enjoyable. Their smiling faces, their 'nothing is a problem' approach and their acceptance and coaching (at my request) due to my inferior efforts when speaking Italian made us feel so welcomed at all times. They genuinely cared that we were being served to our required standards and just knew when to approach us or leave us to our private conversation. And, to make contact after our departure just checking that we had arrived at our next destination safely and ultimately made it home was just so considerate of them. Their genuine concern stemmed from the fact that my wife had injured herself during our holiday and her mobility was extremely restricted. The injury occurred prior to our arrival at Santantonio Resort and we were using the resort as a base to allow my wife to commence he recovery.

What a fabulous stay! We spent 4 nights in this wonderful hotel (part 1 of a 2 part holiday). It was absolutely amazing. From the minute we arrived I felt very relaxed, the atmosphere just works. The service was brill and the we were made to feel welcome with the children. The pool is stunning and also lovely and peaceful. For our final evening, we decided to stay in and dine at the hotel restaurant. It was fabulous, the food, wine and service were all just perfect! And all of this with a view of splendid Mount Etna. Please visit, you will not regret it
