This is a very special place in Sicily! The location and quality of the facilities is excellent and extremely tasteful. Alessadro, Julia and the whole team very attentive! You can hang on the grounds and find plenty of spots to relax in and walk around the grounds and vineyards with excellent views of Etna and northern mountains and hills--gorgeous. Get the excellent tasting menu in the restaurant and settle in for a relaxing evening with fantastic Cottanera wines! (Small suggestion--the wellness/massage rooms could be bigger and better ventilated). You can stay here a night or 4 and be very happy!

Great room. Beautiful manicured garden and amazing views from the room!
Incredible retreat with breathtaking views of the vineyards and the mountains. Excellent food and breakfast as well. Everything is homemade with local produce.
This is beautiful property and area. Non-touristic, refreshingly. And luxurious at the same time. Dinners are simple, and elegant. Kitchen and dining staff are lovely.
Located on a working vineyard and olive farm, Dimora is an amazing experience. They offer wine tasting for a price and dinner for a price but both are worth it. The wine tasting is led by a very knowledgeable staff member, Salvo, in our case. The wines were all bottled on site and were wonderful. We were able to order wine and have it shipped to our house in California. Dinner was prepared on site and served in a glass enclosed seating area with a fantastic view of the surrounding vineyards. The variety of choices for dinner could be expanded and probably will be in the future. We both had flat breads that were excellent and of course accompanied by estate wines. The room had an incredible view of Mt. Etna on one side and the surrounding vineyards on the other side. We reserved time in the spa for jacuzzi and sauna. This included robes and slippers for wearing when not in the water. Breakfast was great augmented by several egg offerings prepared on request.
Absolutely perfect! Tucked amongst so much beauty with impeccable service and meals. We loved the staff as equal to the grounds. 5 day stay was just right.
This is such a beautiful place to relax & refresh. The rooms are perfect, the pool a dream & the staff is helpful, happy & kind. Loved every minute of our stay.
Beautiful Hideaway, modern architecture, with pool and a small sauna, not to forget a wonderful winetasting in an amazing landscape with views of Etna and
This vineyard spa is a real haven. The buildings are contemporary yet blend in the the surrounding vineyard fields. The staff delight in showing their wines. A real respite from the tourist bustle elsewhere.
We loved our stay at Dimora Cottanera! The room was immaculate, with elegant touches and beautiful views. The staff was warm and helpful - truly a highlight of your stay! The location itself was beyond lovely - situated amongst the vineyards, peaceful, and easy driving to Mt. Etna. Parking was convenient - a small lot across the road from the property. Would happily stay again!
Such a nice vineyard, we had a superior room and it did not disappoint. Large room, everything is new with really high standards. Relaxing pool area, views and surroundings. Coming back.
We went on a tour of Sicily in May 2025, and only spent one night at Dimora Cottanera - but it was our favourite stay of the vacation!
The grounds and the views were stunning, the facilities first-class and our room was amazing.
But the absolute highlight was the wine tasting, which was so much fun and incredible value. The food we had was delicious and complemented the wine superbly. And our host, Salvo, made the experience so special.
We absolutely loved our limited time at Dimora Cottanera and would book again in a heartbeat!
Dimora Cottanera is a very peaceful with helpful and attentive staff.
While the views of the surrounding countryside were lovely unfortunately we had a courtyard room with no views and we felt quite exposed
An amazing facility. The staff was attentive and caring without be overbearing. The food is delicious and the location is super. Our room was of adequate size and the amenities were wonderful. They had a secure location for our bicycles which is appreciated.
Only minor glitch was that the hot tub is a bit cool for my preference. Not a big deal at all.
I’d stay here again in a heartbeat.
Exceptionell service, hospitalities and location, lovely setting in the vineyards with beautiful look over Etna. Everything is quite new, the sauna was great, infinity outdoor pool is a great refresh afterwards. The breakfast was great, no wishes were unfilled. The staff was super nice, especially Vincenzo made us feeling very welcomed! Will definitely come back.
