Boutique B&B La Dimora del Castelluccio

Denise’s warm welcome and Oksana’s friendly interpreting made our stay in this lovely village even more memorable. The wonderful views from all three of our very comfortable and stylish bedroom and the location made this our favourite place to stay during our ten-day holiday. The views of smoking Mount Etna were mesmerising. All the recommendations (wine tasting) and Oksana’s family restaurant were superb. We particularly enjoyed the wonderful modern art displayed around the house that was at the very top of this picturesque village that didn’t feel touristy. Thank you Denise.

Denise and Oksana were so welcoming and helpful, the views are wonderful, the breakfast freshly made and superlative and the house and room immaculate. As we are from Australia we say 'do yourself a favour' and consider this. Castiglioni is 'typical' Sicliy and a good base but we tended to return early as sitting on the verandah was so peaceful. the stairs will keep you fit too!

We were so pleased to have picked this wonderful b&b as part of our two week holiday. Of all the places we stayed, this one has stuck with us. We had the suite which has breathtaking views and we were fortunate enough to see a minor Etna eruption, a truly memorable once in a lifetime experience. If you can do try and take the suite, it’s worth every penny. Denise and Oksana couldn’t do enough to help us with recommendations on parking and where to eat. Oksana’s family restaurant is just round the corner with authentic Sicilian cuisine at reasonable prices.

Such a very special place and Denise a lovely, elegant and inspiring host who evidently poured her creative heart into her fantastic hilltop “Dimora”. Beautifully appointed and comfortable room with a fantastic unrestricted hilltop view towards Etna and sweeping vistas of the vines and mountains around. Denise and her right-hand Oksana, offer loads of friendly hospitality, including a scrumptious and freshly made breakfast that Oksana lovingly prepares and serves on the beautiful terrace overlooking Etna and the valley. Romantic medieval hilltop-town living at its very best. Highly recommended

Many sincere thanks to our host Denise, and her professional assistants Oksana and Stephania, for an unforgettable stay. I'm so glad I chose this charming boutique hotel to start our first trip to Sicily, celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary. The suite is truly beautiful as are the lounge, terraces, balconies and dining room. the furnishings and decor are impeccable. I could quite happily spend a week here without even leaving the place! Denise arranged for Maria, a lady from the village, to prepare an authentic special dinner for us, which was a wonderful end to our first day.
