I was not at all expecting such good taste and professionalism. All this was, however, obvious from the word 'go'. Spacious rooms with elegant decor and much gusto immediately attracted and relaxed me. The genuinely friendly welcome of the staff made me feel I had been there already. Food was very good and the service was very friendly. We were... More

Lovely, stylish hotel in the middle of a remote plantation. You will need to collapse by the pool or hire a car as there is nothing close by. Breakfast and dinner interesting and making full use of locally grown produce. Staff very friendly. Could improve bar facilities,pool and lunch service which was minimal. Also noticed a few children struggling with... More

Gorgeous hotel and the most amazing lush gardens. Great service and fabulous restaurant. It is a hidden gem tucked away in a neighbourhood. The location was good for day trips to Taormina, and Mt Etna. More

This hotel was the best that I've ever been to! The decor is very cool and the service was amazing. The location is ok, not too close to anything but is still worth it. Great pool and views! But most of the all the service was incredible. I have an allergy to gluten and they went shopping before I arrived... More

We were extremely happy with our holiday in Donna Carmela. The staff is young, very friendly and helped us with all our problems and questions. The food in the restaurant is Sicilian and very good; no need to leave the hotel and visit a restaurant in Taormina, Catania or anywhere else. Large (junior) suites and a very nice swimming pool...

Gorgeous place, wonderful views, very good food indeed. Lovely and peaceful. Very international guests including Italians. Only down side was the menu didn't change the four days we were there and there isn't a lot of choice. Could get very boring. And the nearest restaurant isn't that close so really could with some attention. Excursion to Etna organised by the... More

Our son recomended us this hotel. It was all we expected and much much more. It`s not so easy to arrive the first time, but then you get really quickly familiar with the surroundings. Of course you need a car, but we already knew it. The hotel is an oasis of peace and beauty. All very modern, chic and yet... More
