“Absolutely stunning! Perfect couple getaway”

We stayed at the hotel for seven nights during our trip in Sicily as we were looking for a convenient location to explore the East coast and be able to relax during down time. The staff were so warm and welcoming, the set menu at night delicious (and a great deal!) and the days by the pool flew by. We would come back here any time, maybe even with extended family or friends as it seems very family friendly. Definitely do the free tour around the factory and the wine tasting with the menu.

“A perfect place for (sparkling) wine and exploration”

During our 24 day tour around southern Italy, we wanted to do a winery experience and also find a hotel from which we could explore Eastern Sicily. We found the perfect spot in Tanuta San Michele where we stayed 3 nights. The vineyards has been in the possession of the same family for 150 years but they started commercial production some 40 years ago. In the midst of the principal vineyard, a building with accomodation and swimming pool has been built and we stayed in a lovely room, which was top notch in every sense. We did a winery tour with the owner and his wife also joined during our wine tasting. Whilst the winery produces a whole range of wines, both red and white, using both local grapes as well as foreign ones such as Cabernet Sauvignon, its sparkling wine selection was outstanding and it's brut, priced at 13 euros, was as close as one can get to real champagne. The same methods as in Champagne is used and the result is nothing but remarkable. The hotel is close to Etna and also to the cities on the east coast such as Taormina so it is a perfect base for exploring the area. The only small room for improvement would be the restaurant. We did half board for 3 nights and the food was very similar all three nights so would recommend to eat once there and then seek alternatives outside the property. All in all a fantastic experience and comes with warm recommendations, both with and without kids

All was so super...chilly weather made us all want to be inside this marvellous 'tenuta', all wrapped up in vine fields and numerous trees with breathtaking views of the mountains on one side and a splendid view of the pool on the other side. The cuisine was another excellent experience at Tenuta San Michele...everything tasting so genuine and fresh and mouthwatering from the early breakfast to the delicious dinner. The kids loved this place especially the huge play area/relaxing room,most of it occupied by a wonderful display of books and massive toy selection. We will certainly visit again. A huge well done from all of us...the three families with 5 kids from Malta.Thumbs up. Thank you once again for the hosts who made us feel so very comfortable in their lovely 'tenuta'.

“Beautiful Surrounding, More Information about Offseason would be Good”

The hotel rooms were nice and very roomy, and the surroundings cannot be beat: view of Etna on one side and ocean on the other.

The hotel rooms were nice and very roomy, and the surroundings cannot be beat: view of Etna on one side and ocean on the other. Unfortunately we visited in the off-season, and although we tried to contact the hotel beforehand about their restaurant and wine-tasting hours, we did not receive a response and only found out when we arrived that it does not do dinner and wine-tasting later in the afternoon. Would still definitely recommend a stay here though, just be aware of what service they offer before you visit!
