I had been dreaming about this place while planning for a year and still think about it a year later. I had been in contact with the hotel to organize our girls trip and the staff was very accommodating and kind. The stay was beyond expectations with a well maintained property and beautifully appointed rooms. Our group stayed across 4 different room types and they were all beautiful. The breakfast was AMAZING! You definitely need a car to venture out from here but it’s well situated. Being the sister to Pietradolce is also a highlight as you can see the commitment to quality and sustainability at both vineyard and resort. My only regret is that we didn’t stay longer. I would definitely come back again with friends or my husband for a romantic getaway.

This is a wonderful hotel! The location is good, easy to Ortigia or Taormina. The setting is great: garden, pool, are amazing. The restaurant was fabulous with delicious dishes and a great winelist and great sommelier and team. The breakfast is absolutely unforgettable with a service level rarely found: smiley, genuine, and authentically welcoming. Hands down a great recommendation! Very well managed hotel !

We stayed at Donna Carmela Resort in March 2025, and it was an unforgettable experience. The hotel is absolutely stunning, surrounded by lush greenery, with beautifully designed rooms. Our room’s terrace was a highlight, offering breathtaking views of the plantations and the sea. The entire property is elegantly designed, exuding sophistication. The service was exceptional—every staff member was warm, attentive, and welcoming. A special mention to Ms. Eliana, who was outstanding! The resort also features a stylish bar, a great restaurant, and an incredible breakfast spread. The food was fantastic, and the drinks were just as impressive. Overall, we had an amazing time and would highly recommend this place!

Nice resort surrounded by green and quite gardens and terraces overlooking the sea. good food & beverage option with gourmet menu for dinner and simple one for lunch. Also possible to have sandwiches and salads by the pool bar. Would suggest to visit.

Absolutely lovely week at this beautiful hotel, the customer service from everyone was exceptional, they were so warm, welcoming and willing to help in any way. Rooms very nice , gardens lovely, wine tasting was an excellent experience with Rosaria and Guialuca (we did it twice). Definitely worth visiting Mt Etna, we drove ourselves and went to the North rather than the busy south and had an excellent time. We went up further with a 4 x 4 vehicle and guide, loved it! We would stay again if in Sicily!

From the rustic chaos that is Sicily, Donna Carmela is like an oasis of calm and tranquility you step into and all your needs are taken care of in a personal and professional way, nothing is too much trouble and all the staff are only too happy to help you in anyway they can with a smile of their faces. We spent a week with them and cannot thank them all enough for the kindness they showed us both. We spent 2 nights in the romantic villa that is 800m from the hotel, it was remote but beautifully appointed and a great place to get away from everything, the remainder of our time based in the exclusive suite, a beautifully appointed room and terrace. I can thoroughly recommend the wine tasting, even if you aren’t an expert, Rosario’s passion for Sicilian wine was outstanding and his enthusiasm infectious, so much so we booked again. Our only slight disappointment was the food, breakfast was excellent, lunch the offering was a bit basic and the dinner menu was a little over ambitious in our view and you would only want to eat there once or twice. Thanks again and if we come back to Sicily we will definitely stay again.

We stayed in this lovely hotel for a week purely for relaxation & we loved it. The staff make it particularly special. They are attentive without being intrusive, cheerful & helpful, just perfect. Gerardo & all the waitresses in particular. We had a suite with a large balcony in the main building, which was spacious and comfortable. The restaurant was quite expensive, but worth it, though after a week we would have liked a change. We did eat out twice nearby. We were so happy in the hotel we didn’t mind that it really is quite isolated. Day trips to Taormina & Etna were enough for us. In mid September the temperature was in the mid to high 20’s. Perfect. Not sure how we would have coped with the much higher summer heat. It’s a lovely hotel very well managed. We would return.

Wow! We stayed at this resort for one night but wish we could have stayed longer. We were in the "Flora" lodge with a beautiful private terrace overlooking the garden. The room was decorated perfectly and fresh white roses awaited us when we arrived. The breakfast and lunch were excellent. The staff went out of their way to meet all of our needs. I would highly recommend this resort for a romantic stay.
