From arrival to (sadly) departure, we were welcomed with open arms and really made to feel comfortable. The property is exceptionally clean, and the staff are very attentive. There are outstanding views of Etna and the surrounding area. You can even head on up to the winery for an intimate wine tasting, if that tickles your fancy. All round - perfect

Nothing, it was perfect

An absolutely incredible experience at Dimora Cottanera! The property is beyond stunning with increase views of their winery and the valley below. There are plenty of comfy sitting area sprinkled around the property where you can enjoy a glass of while you drink in the breathtaking views. Breakfast in the morning is complementary and consists of a variety of fresh cakes, fruit, a selection of egg dishes and fresh coffee. Our experience at Dimora Conttanera was nothing short of dreamy and the staff running the property are so helpful and kind. Thank you to Serena and Vincenzo for making this stop on our vacation unforgettable-we can’t wait to return!

Wouldn’t change a thing!

The whole setting in the middle of a vineyard overlooking mount Etna is truly stunning. The staff is very hospitable and the facilities are perfect! You need to stay here!

That we had to leave!

Dimora Cottanera is a dream. The b&b which comprises of 9 bedrooms (and they are opening a couple more) only started in September 2023, so we felt privileged enough to have stayed in a truly fabulous place on the first three nights of our honeymoon. The b&b is attached to and apart of the original Cottanera vineyard which does private wine tours and is all family owned. Our room was fantatsic, with a marvelous shower in a cave, and outdoor bath and an indoor bath too. A lot of the furnishings and features are all made out of lava which is a fabulous touch to the view which is, on one side, of Mount Etna and the other side, of fields of vineyards and gardens. The pool is lovely and clean and there is also a wellness spa which both my husband and I used for massages. An excellent way to wind down after a busy wedding weekend. The breakfasts are fully cooked eggs and continental too and on your first night they offer you a cheese and meat board which is delicious. We ate in all local restaurants recommend by the staff which are a short 10 minute drive away and they are exceptionally communicative and responsive to any questions or needs you have, including booking any restaurants you need and recommending any local activities to do. All in all, what a wonderful spot in dreamland. Thank you!

There are no negatives to this fabulous spot, but if you are looking for a restaurant in the accommodation you won’t find one! It’s a breakfast only spot and you will need to go out for lunch and dinner which you need to have your own car to get to. Not a downside, just a heads up.

The peacefulness of the setting was evident.. The architect and designers did a splendid job on the layout and features of the property.

As a technical professional, not all WiFi access points were installed well. For rooms and common areas, they should be mounted on ceilings, horizontal to the floor; never vertically on walls. The outdoor A/P on the the exterior wall of the spa provided good coverage, but the signal was extremely low by the pool under the awning because of the cement wall. Perhaps add a second A/P to improve coverage for the entire pool area.

Dimora Cottanera is a rare find of a hotel. The service is exceptional and cannot be faulted. We informed the staff of our anniversary before arrival - they kindly upgraded us to a room with a private outdoor tub and a beautiful bunch of flowers. The pool has stunning views of the mountains, and the food is unmatched. We particularly enjoyed the “apéritivo hour” and the hotel kindly booked wine tasting and an Etna trek for us.

The only (extremely minor!) improvement we would suggest would be to make it more obvious where the hotel parking is. Perhaps with a sign or similar!

Beautiful grounds with properly cared landscaping and good taste in design and furniture selection; adds up to the atmosphere. Outstanding staff! Delicious breakfast and great selection of fresh fruits, juices, coffee, and homemade cakes. They offer well-made charcuterie options for the evening to pair with their wine. The spa was great too. But the hot tub was cold so we didn’t use it. Es comfortable, bathroom nice, great view from bedroom. I would recommend it and would come back!

Hot tub wasn’t hot.

There is nothing not to like! It’s simply amazing! Surroundings are beautiful, the facilities are of the top notch, the staff is very nice and welcoming! Starting from our communication on details of arrival, through check-in and induction on facilities by Federica, assistance in booking of nearby restaurant, and next morning- breakfast and check-out by Serena - all was great, and if we ever get back to Sicily - this will be one of main reasons!

Too short stay 😆

Everything was extraordinary, the idyllic environment among the vineyards, close to the beautiful villages of Randazzo and Castiglione, the beauty of the property, the quality of its facilities, the comfort of the room, the kindness of the staff, etc... Also the massage session was absolutely outstanding! Overall, it was beyond perfect! We have already recommended Dimora Cottanera to friends and family, hopefully we can come back soon!

How a minor checkin problem was handled with professional ease. Wonderful breakfast and staff... comfortable beds....and the winter room nestled in the vineyard for our morning coffee and sunset glass of wine....and of course the vineyatd's wine. Close to a historic village and great restaurants.

Lack of communication about our wine tasting arrangements.. Better information and an email response to our booking request would have meant we would not have missed our anticipated wine tasting. Tastings are on a rigid set time for the day.
