My stay at Donna Carmela was a delightful experience in a picturesque setting. The accommodations were spacious and offered breathtaking views of Mount Etna, making it an unforgettable sight to wake up to. The gardens and the overall tranquil atmosphere added to the charm. However, a few hiccups in dining arrangements and some staff interactions dampened the experience slightly. Overall, it's a lovely spot but some aspects could use improvement.

Our stay at Hotel Donna Carmela was quite enjoyable, with stunning views of Mount Etna and lovely garden surroundings enhancing the experience. The food was good, though sometimes a bit pricey compared to local options. The need for a car to explore the area might be challenging for some, but the free shuttle service certainly helps. Overall, it's a great place for a relaxing retreat, but dining choices could be more varied and accessible nearby.

My stay at Donna Carmela Resort was truly enjoyable, with stunning views of Mount Etna and well-kept gardens adding charm to the experience. The rooms were spacious, offering a marvelous outlook, and the service was exemplary, especially from the restaurant staff. On the downside, the dining experience had some highs and lows, and not all amenities met expectations, particularly regarding the air conditioning in our cottage.

Our stay at Donna Carmela was wonderful overall, surrounded by stunning landscaping that created a serene atmosphere. The villa accommodations are spacious with great amenities, and the generous shuttle service to local attractions made exploring easy. However, the limited dining menu grew monotonous over our week-long stay, and some details like missing bathrobes detracted from the luxury experience we expected.
