The Experience
You are perched at the summit of teetering Castiglione, with views from every angle over rooftops and vineyards all the way to snow-topped Etna. Inside is on three levels: find a luminous art-and-sculpture-filled living room with French windows, plenty of comfortable sofas, bronze lamps and Modica stone floors; a dining room with an antique table and a gorgeous collection of pea green china plates. The suite is huge and views from here are stunning, the second bedroom is nicely private on the next level up, and the Cave Room on the ground floor is carved from the sandstone rock. Bathrooms are sparkling and tiled, towels are thick and fluffy. You’re looked after by the housekeeper, Maria – she will make cakes and breads to order, and can cook you a delicious Sicilian supper too; breakfast on the terrace overlooking the volcano is special indeed. It’s tempting to stay put but there’s much to discover nearby: Castiglione has ancient Greek origins, Byzantine churches and a fortified tower; Etna can be explored on foot, horseback or jeep; local wine tasting is a must. Owner Denise lives on site in another building and can give wise counsel.

La Dimora del Castellucio was the perfect finale to our Sicilian trip. Denise has made her home into a stylish, extremely comfortable b & b with the most beautiful views from every balcony. Her assistant Oksana speaks very good English, and between the two of them they helped organised our trip up Etna, and find a restaurant nearby to eat in (there are several within easy walking distance). The breakfasts were wonderful, with fresh fruits, ricotta, hams, and an apricot tart which Denise made the night before.

La Dimora del Castellucio is a stylish intimate b&b at the very top of the ancient village with fantastic views of Mount Etna and the surrounding countryside. Denise and her English speaking assistant Oskana warmly welcomed us and very personally made our visit special with help and advice. The rooms are extremely comfortable with modern bathrooms - we were on the top floor with a little balcony overlooking the village. Denise has restored the whole house beautifully, with a mix of contemporary and antique furniture and art. Delicious breakfasts on the terrace.

This house has been lovingly restored by the owner, Denise, and is modern yet classic - and very, very elegant. The bedrooms overlook Etna and the medieval village and the valley. The rooms are spacious and beautifully appointed with artworks which Denise has collected throughout her life. Our bed and linens were luxurious. Breakfasts are organic fruits and freshly baked bread and local made cheeses and meats. The house is at the top of the village beside the castle so you feel that you are in a fairtyale... 100% recommend for couples looking for simple luxury and true Italian hospitality

Luxury. The house, the suite, the welcome, the breakfasts. Denise has created a sophisticated, relaxing haven in a stunning location, right at the very top of a stunning historical Sicilian hill town, with stunning views of Etna and the surrounding countryside. Nothing seems to be too much trouble for Denise and Oksana, who are committed to making your stay the very best it can be. Denise took it on herself to introduce us to many excellent local wines, and the ever happy Oksana saw to it that we had everything we wanted, and more. The Etna 4x4 and Fiat 500 tours are outstanding experiences.

Wow! Our stay at La Dimora del Castelluccio was truly unforgettable. The house has been thoughtfully renovated so that the stunning surrounding scenery is visible from almost anywhere. The location at the top of Castiglione di Sicilia offers incredible views of Etna but is also within driving distance of major sites around Etna and the coast around Taormina. The hospitality of our host Denise was most welcoming and we felt very much at home. Every morning we were offered a generous breakfast of local delicacies, which were some of the best products we tried all holiday. Thank you!
