The setting of this beautiful hotel is stunning, there are views of Mt Etna and the sea everywhere. The Hotel grounds are full of specimen trees and bushes from around the World, lush and gorgeous! We stayed in a Romantic Chalet that was so roomy and spacious and well furnished with glimpses of the sea through the foliage. Each long was so secluded and private. We had the added bonus of a private hot pool/spa outside on the deck outside our window. However it is the staff that take the Donna Carmela to the next level. From Housekeeping to Reception to the Waiting Staff & the Maitre'D every single one we encountered went above and beyond to make our stay exceptional!! We were here 11 nights and cannot fault our stay at all. We have stayed in hotels around the World but Donna Carmela rates among the finest! We have to mention our breakfasts as they were the highlight of the day. Scrumptious pastries and the best ruby red fresh orange juice everyday! A special mention has to go to Alania & Dese who served us and made our day with their smiles, & Linda who kept us topped with Tea & Coffee in our room! Nothing was too much trouble and we thank you so much!

A nice oasis close to the beach in Sicily. The grounds of the hotel are beautiful and the rooms extremely large and spacious. The hotel allowed an early check in and late check out which is always appreciated.

Absolutely loved it!
Spent two nights at the resort. Arrived late on check-in day due to a delayed flight and was welcomed warmly close to midnight. Great lunch suggestion provided and reservation made for us. Loved the ability to whatsapp guest relations. So quiet and the gardens were lovely. Service was some of the best we’ve experienced. Breakfast selection another big plus (loved the Sicilian options!)

Donna Carmela is a real gem and a must-stay property for anyone traveling to Sicily. It’s a beautiful resort set in a picturesque location with incredible amenities. We loved spending time by the pool, walking the grounds, and visiting nearby wineries for tastings. The staff at the resort are amazing. Aurora in particular was so kind and really went above and beyond to make our stay special. This was one of the best hotel experiences I’ve ever had.
