The place is great, the hosts are great, the food is great. We stayed at Palmento la Rosa at the end of our honeymoon for three nights and had two dinner there (excellent!). We enjoyed the warm hospitaity and relaxing atmosphere every single minute. We are already looking forward to coming back.

We spent three nights with Zora and Franz in Palmento la Rosa and we enjoyed every minute of it. The rooms, the garden, breakfast, dinner, and the warm hospitality of the hosts made it very special for us and our four children.

Great hospitality. Thanks for ironing the Shirts! Great food.

Franz and Zora are the hosts of the small vinyard with just 4 guest rooms north of Catania. They manage to combine Italian charme, flexibiity, Swiss precision and a personal atmosphere.
