Donnacarmela Carruba di Riposto Map

Occupying a magnificent position on Sicily's Cyclops Riviera, between the ancient coastal cities of Acireale and Taormina, and just moments away from some of Italy's most stunning beaches, Donnacarmela is the kind of place that dream holidays are made of. An elegant 19th century country house, with courtyards paved in local lava stone and river pebbles, Donnacarmela lies at the heart of a ten thousand square meter nursery garden and is surrounded by a spectacular display of Mediterranean and subtropical plants.

Recently transformed in stylish Sicilian boutique hotel, Donnacarmela offers beautifully appointed guest accommodation in either the main house or the attractive garden annex. Each of the hotel's 18 bedrooms and suites has been individually furnished and equipped with the very latest in contemporary comforts. The generously sized suites are particularly inviting, boasting the most luxurious of furnishings and large terraces with breathtaking views over the countryside of Carruba di Riposto.

Guests spend much of the day relaxing in the hotel gardens, in one of the specially designed outside sitting areas or by the side of Donnacarmela's eye-catching swimming pool - the ideal spot where to bathe in the glorious Sicilian sun.

Whilst dining at the "Cucina di DonnaCarmela" restaurant, customers experience the exquisite flavors and aromas of the great Sicilian culinary tradition, savoring typical dishes prepared using only the very finest of locally sourced ingredients. The restaurant's well-researched wine list ensures the perfect accompaniment to each and every meal. Donnacarmela's own Pietradolce Archineri Etna DOC wine, produced in the vineyards situated on the fertile northern slopes of Mount Etna, between Solicchiata and Passopisciaro in the district of Castiglione di Sicilia, is one of the area's finest wines.

An exclusive location for a small scale business meeting, Donnacarmela has a versatile and well equipped conference room.
