Donna Carmela Resort and Lodges

We had a great three night stay. We were in the two floor suite which was very spacious. The bed was very comfortable The bathrooms could use some updating and I think adding a door stopper would be nice so the door can stay open. The air conditioning temperature does not decrease, it’s set at 70 plus Fahrenheit but the extra fan made the room comfortable. The dinner and lunch were exceptional. Some of the best meals of the trip. The breakfast was also very nice. The staff are all friendly. The only area that can be improved is to add service at the pool area. The bartender at the pool could also benefit from a course to improve how the drinks are made. Thank you for a wonderful stay!!

Honeymoon Stay We visited Donna Carmela for our honeymoon. The staff were very friendly and attentive! The resort was beautiful and relaxing. Nearby locations easy to access and visit for day trips. Very lovely stay overall.

Above expectations in all areas! With the warmer than expected temperatures we spent more time at the hotel than planned. With such high services levels it was a pleasure to spend time around the pool area. Nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff and always enough staff available to give you time. At times, the small scale of the main building felt like it was your own private house. The support from the front desk via WhatsApp for room service and activity planning worked very well. We used the hotel transport and driver for a local winery lunch - another service we could not fault. The outside restaurant setting is like a village square/green with a wonderful atmosphere as night. We were also fortunate to be staying when it was BBQ night. The lawn is laid out with outdoor cooking, buffet and bar, it felt like most guests attended this event. The breakfast experience and menu is equally very high service level and excellent food cooking. The Sicilian breakfast which I could not see on the menu should not be declined if offered

I had been dreaming about this place while planning for a year and still think about it a year later. I had been in contact with the hotel to organize our girls trip and the staff was very accommodating and kind. The stay was beyond expectations with a well maintained property and beautifully appointed rooms. Our group stayed across 4 different room types and they were all beautiful. The breakfast was AMAZING! You definitely need a car to venture out from here but it’s well situated. Being the sister to Pietradolce is also a highlight as you can see the commitment to quality and sustainability at both vineyard and resort. My only regret is that we didn’t stay longer. I would definitely come back again with friends or my husband for a romantic getaway.

Unique resort property in the countryside. Peaceful, beautiful, elegant, but relaxed. Highly recommend.
