Donna Carmela Resort and Lodges

We had a great three night stay. We were in the two floor suite which was very spacious. The bed was very comfortable The bathrooms could use some updating and I think adding a door stopper would be nice so the door can stay open. The air conditioning temperature does not decrease, it’s set at 70 plus Fahrenheit but the extra fan made the room comfortable. The dinner and lunch were exceptional. Some of the best meals of the trip. The breakfast was also very nice. The staff are all friendly. The only area that can be improved is to add service at the pool area. The bartender at the pool could also benefit from a course to improve how the drinks are made. Thank you for a wonderful stay!!

Above expectations in all areas! With the warmer than expected temperatures we spent more time at the hotel than planned. With such high services levels it was a pleasure to spend time around the pool area. Nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff and always enough staff available to give you time. At times, the small scale of the main building felt like it was your own private house. The support from the front desk via WhatsApp for room service and activity planning worked very well. We used the hotel transport and driver for a local winery lunch - another service we could not fault. The outside restaurant setting is like a village square/green with a wonderful atmosphere as night. We were also fortunate to be staying when it was BBQ night. The lawn is laid out with outdoor cooking, buffet and bar, it felt like most guests attended this event. The breakfast experience and menu is equally very high service level and excellent food cooking. The Sicilian breakfast which I could not see on the menu should not be declined if offered

Beautiful experience. I just wished I had booked for longer. The setting is stunning, the hotel such attention to detail, the staff so friendly & kind. Restaurant amazing & highly recommend a visit to the winery for wine tasting. I’m hoping to go back soon!

Unique resort property in the countryside. Peaceful, beautiful, elegant, but relaxed. Highly recommend.

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 !
