Dimora Cottanera

10/10 Excellent

"We recently stayed at Dimora Cottanera and had a truly wonderful experience. The setting is absolutely stunning, surrounded by vineyards and beautifully restored buildings. The design blends original features with contemporary industrial elements, creating a unique atmosphere where vintage Italian furniture sits perfectly alongside modern finishes. The staff were exceptional and went above and beyond to help me plan a very special proposal to my partner. Their suggestions and support helped create a truly memorable and romantic occasion. Breakfast was excellent, with a great selection of breads, pastries, cakes, cereals, juices, coffee and freshly prepared egg dishes. The stuffed omelette was a particular favourite. We also enjoyed a fantastic six-course evening meal. The food was delicious throughout, and the wines were outstanding. The 2020 Classic sparkling wine was exceptional and easily comparable to many well-known champagnes. Being able to enjoy wine produced from the vineyard right in front of us made the experience even more special. Our room was immaculate, stylish and comfortable, combining contemporary design with a lovely vintage character. The hot tub was fantastic and became one of the highlights of our stay. Overall, the staff couldn't have done more for us, the surroundings are beautiful, and the attention to detail throughout the property is remarkable. We left with wonderful memories and would highly recommend Dimora Cottanera to anyone."

LA GELSOMINA

10/10 Excellent

"La Gelsomina was, without question, one of the most beautiful places we have ever stayed. From the moment we arrived, it felt like we had stepped into a dream. The property is incredibly peaceful, quiet, and secluded.... a true escape from the world. Surrounded by the countryside, it offers a level of tranquility that is hard to put into words. It honestly didn't even feel real at times. The accommodations were stunning. Calling them "rooms" doesn't do them justice because they felt more like private villas. They were incredibly spacious, beautifully designed, and exceptionally comfortable. The service was equally outstanding. The staff were some of the friendliest and most welcoming people we encountered during our trip. Everyone was always eager to help, answer questions, and make sure we had everything we needed. Their warmth and attentiveness made us feel genuinely cared for throughout our stay. We also loved returning each day to spotless rooms, fresh towels, and everything perfectly refreshed by housekeeping. Those little touches made the experience feel even more luxurious. The complimentary breakfast was incredible, with so many fresh and delicious options that we looked forward to it every day. It was the perfect way to start each morning and another example of the care and quality that La Gelsomina puts into every aspect of the guest experience. It was the kind of place you never want to leave. A perfect experience from beginning to end."

Seaside Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Best value for a balcony view of the Tyrrhenian Sea and especially the sunset! Brand new, clean hotel, staff was very helpful, breakfast spread actually felt like brunch, with eggs made to order! Just a 5-minute walk from the train station and you're on the beach which appears to run for miles East and West and there's sections of soft sand and stones. Capo D'Orlando hidden secret! Highly recommend an overnight stay!"

Picciolo Etna Golf Resort & Spa, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"All the staff was great, very helpful and explained all the property amenities. The bartender, Giuseppe, was helpful with food recommendations. The room was beautiful overlooking the winery and breakfast was lovely."

Esperia Palace Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff very much made this hotel worth maximum ratings. They were able to accommodate my need for two separate beds without issue and honor what I thought I was booking. The breakfast was great and made the stay a good value. The gym and pool close at 2000 - it would be nice if these were open longer. "

PODERE DELL'ETNA SEGRETA - Nature hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We spent a wonderful week this March at Podere dell’Etna Segreta, and the experience was truly unforgettable. Even with a touch of winter still in the landscape, the beauty and tranquillity of the estate are felt the moment you pass through the gate and approach the main house. Each room has its own fireplace, with wood thoughtfully provided, adding warmth and charm to the peaceful setting. Above the estate, Etna in Bianco dominates the sky, while the view from the villa’s terrace offers a breathtaking panorama of the landscape below. What makes the place truly special is the care and passion of the Grasso family and their dedicated team, who make you feel more like a guest of the family than a visitor. The chef’s creations are exceptional, making every meal a memorable experience, with new dishes already being meticulously planned for the summer season. All of this gives us the perfect reason to return in summer—to see the podere in a completely different light: vineyards heavy with grapes awaiting the right moment for the vendemmia, olive trees full of fruit, and the joy of dining al fresco on the beautiful terrace whilst taking in the beautiful surroundings. Grazie di cuore a Mario (Poet and Boss), Costanza (the Wife), Lorenzo (Chef), Gabriele and Jack (extremely dedicated staff). A presto"
