Our two-night stay at Donna Carmela near Catania was one of the highlights of our honeymoon through Italy. After taking the ferry from Calabria to Sicily with our rental car, we made the scenic drive to the hotel, already excited for a few days of relaxation. As part of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, Donna Carmela felt like the perfect blend of luxury and tranquility, and traveling with our toddler made it feel even more special to have such a peaceful and beautiful place to stay.
Our time in Sicily came toward the end of our three-week honeymoon trip through Italy with our toddler, and it ended up being one of the most memorable stops of the entire trip. We took a ferry from Calabria to Sicily with our rental car and drove to our beautiful boutique hotel, Donna Carmela, just outside of Catania. Since we only had one full day to explore, we decided to spend it in Taormina, and I’m so glad we did. The entire town felt like something straight out of a postcard, with its hilltop views, charming streets, and classic Sicilian atmosphere.
