Donna Carmela Resort & Lodges
A volcanic getaway on Sicily’s historic eastern coast
From sea views to mountain landscapes, each unique lodge is tailored for relaxation and peaceful seclusion. Lie back in stylish comfort in the treetop Flora lodge, or one of the several spacious suites with Etna or sea-facing views. A getaway for both body and mind, the interiors bring together design and sustainability. As well as little extras: a panoramic terrace, a lava stone hot tub or your own private garden.

Reconnect with the earth and experience the living energy of the island’s active volcano. Hike, sail or quad bike around Mount Etna taking in the island of Trinacria, the Aeolian coasts and the historical hilltop town, Taormina. Top it off with a visit to nearby winery Pietradolce, on the Northern slopes of the mountain. And the summer months bring with them the Radicepura Garden Festival, synonymous with exquisite Mediterranean landscape architecture.

Our Hotel
From garden to garnish
Well-travelled chef, Piergiorgio Alecci, takes the helm at La Cucina di Donna Carmela. Bringing the hotel’s garden produce direct to the table, Pergiorgio’s menu is a nod to the Mediterranean sights and citrus scents that fragrance the hotel grounds. Refined combinations and Sicilian specialties are elevated by his culinary team, which includes a pastry chef and sommelier. Meanwhile in the vaults of the Wine Cellar, you can request treasures from award-winning wineries the world over, as well as the best from around the region.Lava is all you need
Magma-formed rocks rising from the ocean at Aci Trezza; the Greco-Roman amphitheatre built into the hillside at Taormina: the eastern coast of Sicily is alive with historic beauty. And while the island’s resident celebrity, Mount Etna, tends to get the lion’s share of the glory, the cultural richness of the region is tangible. From vineyards and wine tours to boat excursions and cooking classes, you’ll return home with your heart (and your belly) full.Independent Minds: Mario Faro
Planting a seed which started on the slopes of Mount Etna with a Mediterranean nursery of citrus plants has since blossomed into a nature-inspired collection of bio-architecture lodges. Nurtured by the Faro family for nearly half a century, their latest volcanic venture is an immersion in the subtropical beauty of Sicily’s eastern coast.

Grand room, helpful staff, lovely pool area.
Breakfasts in the garden were always a peaceful start to the day. Poolside granita was a hit!
