Having visited Sicily many times and having experienced a wide range of accommodation types, this is the best. Great service, incredibly friendly and helpful staff and a beautiful layout. The food at dinner ,for the 4 nights we stayed there, was of incredibly high standards and the view onto the sea and the surrounding areas was moving. A great place... More

We visited Taormina at the end of November 2011. We had a double room & my father had the single room next door, both facing out over Taormina & with a stunning view of Etna. On arrival as mentioned in many previous reviews, we were guided on to the sun terrace with a few nibbles & a glass of prosceco.... More

The food at the hotel is good and the breakfasts were... More

From the welcoming drink when we arrived to the tearful goodbyes on departure our stay at the Hotel Villa Ducale could not have been bettered. After a long hard year we had treated ourselves to a suite for our 10 day stay and didn't regret the decision. Other reviewers have commented that these lack the view of Etna which is... More
