Hotel Villa Ducale

We stayed in one of the new rooms with out door hot tub (a cover to keep the heat in would be good) and a view over the infinity pool to the Taormina and the sea in one direction and Etna to the side. The room was very spacious with a long thin bathrooom on the rear and a lounge to the side. There is also a large veranda with easy access from the bedroom. The staff were very helpful and the breakfast was good with great views over the bay. We ate one night in the restaurant but this was disappointing. Overall though we had a lovely stay.

What a perfect setting and gracious hosts. Our room offered a lovely balcony with lounges and a table. The view was outstanding and memorable. The staff helpful and attentive, always addressing us by name and offering to assist. Perfect setting and stay!

We had the most amazing experience at Hotel Villa Ducale! From the moment we arrived, everything was exceptional. They upgraded our room for our anniversary, and it was spectacular! The room had an amazing view, with a beautiful balcony and a hot tub. In addition to the hotel being stunning, the service was impeccable; they truly treated us like family and were very attentive to all of our wants and needs. The breakfast every morning, overlooking Mt. Etna, was wonderful. We cannot say enough about the hotel and the gorgeous property! They made our 30th Anniversary trip so special, and we will definitely be back! Highly recommended!

We had a wonderful stay at Villa Ducale. The location of the hotel is perfect - above the centre of town so away from the crowds and with a beautiful view of Mount Etna and the coast. There is a pedestrian path nearby down into the centre which we used to go up and down. There are lovely views along the way. If you prefer not to walk then you can use the Hotel shuttle. We stayed in one of the beautiful new suites which was very comfortable and peaceful, with a lovely balcony and an amazing view. Breakfast was very good. We also ate dinner in the restaurant Incanto and it was by far the best place we ate during our time in Taormina. The food was delicious and the service also far more attentive than in other restaurants. There is also a wonderful view from the terrace which is magical in the evening. Finally and most importantly, the service at the hotel is excellent - the staff at the hotel are all very friendly and helpful. Thank you!

We spent 3 nights in the hotel. The location offered spectacular views of Mt. Etna, the ocean, and villages carved into the hillside. The atmosphere of the hotel was welcoming and extremely helpful, from making restaurant recommendations and reservations to arranging shuttle service. We can’t say enough about the amazing staff! Breakfast on the open veranda was delicious and attentive. Our room had beautiful views and was both clean and private, with crisp white linens. Considering the level of service, location, and accommodations, the value was excellent!
