This is an AgriTourismo establishment built around a working vineyard. The accommodation is sited uphill from the main establishment (500m above sea level) and has in front of it a lap pool ranging from ankle-deep to 2m, there is a ramp enabling less able clients to access the pool easily. There is also a jacuzzi pool. Adjacent to these is an open-air bar where breakfast is served as well as drinks during the day/evening. The main section houses a covered bar/restaurant. Meals can be ordered a la carte or a buffet-style option together with a wine-tasting option with on-site produced wines. Both options are on the expensive side but well worth it at least a few times. Access to the whole site is above Santa Venerina - trips to Catania and Syracuse are feasible, but for a quiet vacation by the pool this is perfect. The accommodation is clean and reasonably appointed - it is functional rather than luxurious with a small covered porch area overlooking the pool and fabulous view to the sea (7 kms away). The elevation change from the main restaurant to the apartments is quite steep - driving from one to the other is an option - visitors with mobility concerns should bear this in mind. Is it worth a re-visit? Yes.

Excellent facility but we were there at the very beginning of the season and the pool and hot tub were not yet open so we can’t comment on those. The outdoor furniture also needed a little freshening up for the season. The location was beautiful, quiet and calming with spectacular views of Mount Etna. There were shared kitchen and laundry facilities which were very handy. We enjoyed a wine tasting with our dinner in the restaurant on our first night which was very informative and fun. San Michele is conveniently located for accessing Mount Etna and the small towns nearby (which have some good restaurants) and has easy access to the highway to visit nearby cultural sites like Taormina, Catania and Syracusa. The staff was very friendly and efficient and many spoke some English. Our room was very comfortable with everything we needed. We very much enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend San Michele to others.

Nice stay, gorgeous view
Staying here was lovely! Location: Though not in a town centre, we really liked the location as it pitted us between things to do and itself provided enough character for us to lounge about. The view by the pool, or of the volcano at sunset is just stellar! Room: The room was nice, nothing life-altering. That said, it was wonderfully quiet, yet there was still enough of a vibe at the restaurant in the evenings if you wanted to do the daily free wine tasting (yum!) and hang about to chat or play cards etc. Breakfast: Breakfast was decently nice and changed a bit every day. Staff: Check-in and some logistics were not as easy as they could have been. It felt like we were one of many passing through their door (due to the fact that they do daily vineyard tours and have groups come through) and we had distractedly kind service. That said, Luna from the Housekeeping staff was the BEST! Second to none, frankly, the woman needs a raise!

Great place with an amazing view and great pool
Everything was great. The staff is very service minded. The restaurant is very good and the wine produced is excellent (especially the Prosecco), There were two drawbacks, the bed wasn’t that comfortable and there are mosquitoes that seems to be extra hungry for some tourist blood 🙁

We had a wonderful stay! It was easy to locate with plenty of parking. Our room had a nice view, and was quiet and comfortable. The pool was amazing for the hot days, with a fridge stocked with Murgo wine to enjoy. Breakfast was a great way to start the day. It was nice to have the option to have dinner on site, and there was plenty within close driving distance as well. Incredible views of Mount Etna and a great starting place for the south or north ends of the park, as well as visiting the wineries. And there were 3 adorable dogs which just added to the experience!

Tenuta San Michele is excellent. The grounds are beautiful, rooms clean. The food is great - by far the best breakfasts we had in Sicily, dinner is delicious, we ate all 3 nights we were there, tons of food (the pastas were so good). Staff is friendly, even made us a prepared breakfast for are early morning departure! The location is close to etna, taormina, catania, coast. I would love to stay here again one day.

Very beautiful views, but no a/c
Perfect setting, lovely people, delicious restaurant for dinner. Nice pool with views of Mt Etna. Wonderful breakfast. A very special place. Excellent value. The only issue was the room did not have good ventilation and was very hot, with fans that were ineffective. With better ventilation (or in cooler weather) it would be excellent. As it is, it could be challenging in hot weather. In spite of this I would stay again.

Fabulous Etna winery
The rooms of this winery hotel overlook the Mediterranean and sit in the shadow of Mt Etna. The rooms are nice and comfortable, and are steps away from the pool. The family style dinner served nightly, with excellent wine, was one of the highlights of our trip.
