    The pool bar didn’t always have a member of staff on it so sometimes you had to go and find a member of staff. The food menu for the pool bar was limited but everything on it tasted really good, we didn’t know until towards the end of our stay that you could also order from the room service menu for the pool bar and also French fries and ice cream were available but not advertised as such. The evening restaurant didn’t have loads of choice and was quite expensive, not somewhere we wanted to eat every night but nice for 1 or 2 nights.

    The staff/service was amazing, really nice people and nothing was a problem! Always there to help. The breakfast was fab, so much choice include amazing Nutella croissants! The pool area was really nice and clean and the rooms was fab! Great size & super comfortable! The gym was small but well equipped. We would definitely return it was the perfect start to our honeymoon! 4+++*

    Not to well kept, and we had ants and other insects in our room. The room was super dark, since it only had two windows. The pool area felt small. Wish we could use the roof top, but it was exclusive for one room.

    Lush garden, amazing food, lovely atmosphere. Loved our bathroom.

    The staff were super friendly (especially the restaurant staff). They even hugged us on the final morning when we left. The food was superb, the variety and portions amazing. The room was well fitted out, great bathroom, huge bed. Lots of spaces to relax and unwind and not feel like you are staying at a big crowded hotel. Can’t fault the facilities. Felt so relaxed at the Donna Camela

    Top end facility with good food and luxury, but with it comes a certain clientele

    Breakfast selection was almost all sweets. On day two, we did find some darker breads and cold cuts on the buffet. With the luxury comes a certain clientel, whose Mercedes limo driver thinks they can cut you off and make you wait because you only drive a little rental Audi. But this is not the property’s doing of course. Except for the view of Etna, you do feel a little bit locked in at the pool area. No sea view or wide landscapes.

    This property exudes luxury and refinement. It is nicely located with a beautiful garden surrounding it. Everything is well maintained and functional. The staff is very friendly, fluent in English and ready to help. The room and bathroom were very sizeable and comfortable.

    The location is a bit out of the way, but it has the advantage that you don’t have to fight your way out of a built-up area to get to where you want to go. A good base for exploring Mt Etna. Used the pool, but to be honest in April it was still too cool to stay in for long.

    If one would want to complain at all, one could mention that the current restaurant concept is too “limited” as it only provides super “Michelin-Star” like food, but does not offer a normal lunch and dinner menue.

    Although embedded in an area almost “offroad” and with railroad nearby, this is a nice hotel in a Lovely surrounding in the middle of a tree nursery, green with of a bunch of plants and palm trees and flowers, a nice boutique style hotel. Interesting architecture, friendly staff. The separate suites are quite Bauhaus style and may be a little too uncharming, even if they have their own jacuzzi (which was quite cool)

    I really recommend for a couple who loves gourmet experiences and want to relax in a quiet and beautiful view of Etna and the Sea Coast at the same time, especially if you want to be away of the crowded city. I really enjoyed the experience and the food was superb. Breakfast as well was really outstanding.
