Rooms. Breakfast was amazing. The dinner was a little too fine dining for us and it’s a remote hotel so sort of the only option. Wish the pool was heated. ##### Celia Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elizabeth Feb 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The staff were lovely and the room was very nice; we loved the heated floors in the bathroom and the towels and linen were excellent. It maybe a bit of a stretch to call this a resort when the pool is not heated (and therefore not useable in February). The breakfast was exceptional. ##### Elizabeth Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nicolas Sep 12, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful hotel with amazing staff ##### Nicolas Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Simon Oct 10, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful location ##### Simon Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nicholas Oct 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The property is incredible and the staff are welcoming and helpful.

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. ##### Chris Stayed 1 night in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elena Dec 23, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Amazing Staff is amazing, you feel everyone is happy to be there. Welcome drinks were amazing and check in well thought through with no standing and waiting; room is great; very eco friendly hotel , amazing views on volcano or sea; lemon trees everywhere; restaurant food and service impeccable ; the only thing we would say is breakfast needs a bit more variety like fruit, veg, potatoes, sausages, oranges, olives etc; plenty of fresh cakes which are delicious ##### Elena Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### William Jun 19, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great boutique hotel with fantastic restaurant We stayed for four nights and were very sorry to leave. Room was large, comfortable and spotlessly clean and the standard of housekeeping throughout was excellent. Service everywhere is friendly and efficient, and pool deck is great place to soak up the sun and admire the views of Etna and the sea. Dinners were fantastic, real problem in choosing between so many lovely dishes and great Sicilian wines. ##### William Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jo Ann Jun 16, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Donna Carmela was hard to leave. Beautiful And enchanting hotel with a warm personable staff. Comfortable rooms with beautiful furniture. Lovely pool and breakfast area. And a very delicious buffet table. The restaurant exceeded our expectations. Must return soon. ##### Jo Ann Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joyce Jun 21, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The staff at Donna Carmela catered to our every need. The breakfast was amazing with lots to choose from. We had a delicious dinner outside among the gardens. The trees with little sparkling lights and soft music playing in the background make it very special. The rooms were large and very comfortable with all amenities you may need. I would definitely recommend it. ##### Joyce Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katharina May 29, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We had a great stay at the Donna Carmela Resort. It's a beautiful property full with plenty of space and wonderful greenery. We were upgraded to a 2-floor room which allowed for space with our child. The pool is also wonderful and was very quiet while we were there. Breakfast was amazing, there is a huge table of Sicilian sweet treats to choose from, plus a small continental buffet and plenty of a la carte options. The resort is well-located between Catania and Taormina but the area itself around the hotel doesn't have much to offer, one really needs a car to get around. ##### Katharina Stayed 5 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Oscar Oct 31, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities No business center, no computer Otherwise, extraordinary ##### Oscar Stayed 6 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### James Aug 19, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This is a hidden gem of a hotel. The hotel itself is lovely and our bungalow had 2 distinct bedrooms as advertised (not always the case with hotels), a lounge and outside seating area and dining table. As it was at the other end of the complex through the impressive plant nursery, we were provided with our own golf buggy to travel around the hotel grounds, which was an added bonus. The accommodation had its own private plunge pool to complement the hotel pool and the staff were amazingly helpful and friendly. Unfortunately, we didn't get a chance to try the fantastic looking menu at the hotel restaurant, as it too nice for young children but we did have lunch at the pool bar and utilised the room service menu, all of which were great. Breakfast is extensive and served in a beautiful garden. We would have loved to have longer at the hotel. Great views of Etna and there is plenty to see and do in the surrounding area. Located conveniently just 40 mins from Catania airport, we would definitely go back. A real find. ##### James Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Beverley Mar 1, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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! ##### Beverley Stayed 11 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Florian Aug 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Wunderschöne Unterkunft mit hervorragendem Personal.
