Amazing location on side of a mountain, looking out at the sea and the vinyard!! The buffet breakfast was filled with meats, cheeses, salmon, fruit and pastries. Delicious start to the day! The wines were also smooth and full-bodied. 10 stars!!! The view of Etna as you drive down the mountain is stunning! Staff was kind and helpful. Spacious, clean and comfortable accommodations.

We did not want to leave! The property, inside and out, is gorgeous, the views incredible, the breakfast delicious, the countryside beautiful, the staff as efficient and gracious as one could hope. It's a bit of a challenge to find, but so worth it. We stayed in two of the deluxe rooms, which featured a wonderful patio overlooking the vineyard, and we loved them; just be sure that at least two of the people in your group can handle stairs. If I could go back tomorrow, I would!

The winery is beautiful and the customer service from Marisa was outstanding. The breakfast was very good. We all (5) loved this property and the customer service. We stayed here for 2 nights. Got the delicious complimentary bottle of wine "Etna Rosso wine". Loved it. Highly recommend this place to anyone. Thank you so much for your service, Marisa

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.

Incredible to stay in a lodging at a vineyard. Started our trip to Sicily here as we started with a hike at Etna and then enjoyed a wonderful wine tour. Wonderful breakfast and views of the Mediterranean. Very kind hosts.

L'hébergement était magnifique avec des très bons lits. Cette domaine est apaisante, entre les vignerons, loin du tourisme dans la silence. Le personnel est très attentif, calme et gentil. Très bon petit déjeuner, très varié, rien à dire. Un endroit parfait pour visiter le Etna et les villages autour du Etna. Je conseille cet hébergement à tout le monde qui veut visiter le Etna dans un endroit calme et retiré.

Wunderbare, einzigartige Unterkunft. Mitten in den Weinbergen mit wunderschöner Aussicht auf die Küste. Ruhig, schönes Apartment mit kleiner Kochstelle. Jeden Tag 2 Mineralwasserflaschen im Zimmer. Großer Kühlschrank und natürlich immer 5 Flaschen Wein zur Kaufmöglichkeit am Zimmer. Einzigartig der Sonnenaufgang. Gutes Ftühstück. Auto ist aber erforderlich. Sehr netter Strand in der Nähe. Wir haben uns auch mit der Katze angefreundet, die jeden Abend auf uns gewartet hat. Diese großartige Aussicht vermisse ich jetzt schon.

Très jolie domaine. Au calme dans les vignes et oliviers. Possibilité de déguster et d'acheter du vin. Il y a une superbe vue sur la côte de Taormina et également sur le volcan. On a pu avoir la chance de voir une fin d'éruption au petit matin . Petit déjeuner consistant pour commencer une bonne journée.
