Design Meets Sustainability: The Hotel's Ethos

Donna Carmela's ethos integrates luxury, comfort, and design with environmental consciousness. Gardens blend effortlessly with interiors through expansive glass designs, ensuring rejuvenation even during inclement weather. Summer days unveil a tranquil pergola set beside a pristine, limestone-framed pool. Donna Carmela's commitment to the environment is not just a statement but an experience. From the elegant olive grove views, with a backdrop of the snow-kissed Etna, to their membership with the Small Luxury Hotels of the World group, every facet is a testament to their eco-driven mission.

Unparalleled Service & Modern Amenities

Guests are met with impeccable service, where the attentive staff ensures immediate ease and comfort. Evenings at the elegant Rizo bar are enchanting, with candlelit wine tastings from the renowned Pietradolce estate. Overlooking illuminated olive groves, the restaurant terrace becomes the dining haven during clement weather. Dive into the spacious pool or enjoy private plunge pools and hot tubs in select rooms. Plans promise a spa and an additional pool infused with homegrown essential oils. Inspired by the Chelsea Garden Festival, a short drive away, the owners' RadicePura garden extends the green embrace.

Sustainable Luxury: Room Insights

Every room at Donna Carmela speaks of sustainable luxury. Recyclable materials, from enamelled metal sinks to lava-stone showers, merge with eco-conscious designs, such as innovative heating systems and energy-saving air-conditioning. The eco-lodges offer expansive, minimalist spaces with terraces that open to nature. On the other hand, main house rooms offer a minimalist charm with natural stone, muted colours, and, most of all, private outdoor areas. The 'Jacuzzi Exclusive suite provides panoramic views of the sea and Mount Etna for the ultimate luxury.

A Culinary Symphony: Food & Beverages

Mornings at Donna Carmela are a delight, with sumptuous breakfasts featuring homemade pastries, tarts, and fresh blood-orange juice. The on-site vegetable garden and orchard supply the restaurant, ensuring fresh and organic meals. While there's an array of innovative dishes, the classics like the Casarecce pasta with homegrown ingredients remain the favourites.
