Extremely welcoming & helpful staff. Reception desk are great at recommending excursions and making restaurant bookings. The shuttle bus to and from Taormina is very efficient. Although the 600 steps path is highly recommended once, for the views. And all the views from the hotel are out of this world.

Hotel has a spectacular view. It’s at the very top so it takes longer to get to and from town but If you like to walk stairs and see wonderful views, this is a great place. The hotel itself is a bit dated in style, but There are pockets of contemporary features throughout as well. The hotel was very clean and everyone was very accommodating and extremely friendly. Common terraces and the restaurant are superb. The pool is very small and outdated.

Tremendous view from room, restaurant of Mt. Etna (it was clear one night and we could see eruptions) , Taormina and Ionian sea. Excellent, gracious service in hotel and restaurant. Our deluxe double bedroom was a little small, but there was an extensive drawers in the alcove closet area. the bathroom was spacious and well equipped. Street parking is free but and is in most of Italy, challenging. Only tiny plunge pool. Pistachio crusted lamb excellent, Other meal and Breakfast had a nice variety and was good.

There are many wonderful things about Taormina. It's a magical place. But for us, our Taormina experience was exponentially enhanced by our stay at Hotel Villa Ducale. It is an exceptionally beautiful property, with stunning views of the town, the sea, the coastline, and mount Etna. We absolutely loved our suite, with its private entrance and the view of the coastline, its exquisite décor, super comfy bed, and unexpected amenities such as free drinks in the fridge, and Etro toiletries and Etro robe. After a day of sightseeing, we looked forward to unwinding at the terrace with a glass of wine overlooking the most majestic view of Sicily we could only have dreamed of. I could write an entire essay on the staff, which was as impressive as the views from the hotel. From the reception office to the wait staff and bartender, to the person in charge of parking our car in an impossibly tight and coveted spot, they made our stay unforgettable. Taormina is a very busy, crowded, and noisy town. Hotel Villa Ducale is quiet and peaceful. It provided us with the space to rest well and recharge. The hotel is well located, between Taormina and Castelmola, (about 15-20 minutes walk to either town), an added benefit, since parking is virtually impossible.

While the hotel has beautiful views of the water, the location is very inconvenient to get into town. The staff is hit or miss with many of the workers quite rude and unhelpful and we were overcharged multiple times by the taxi companies that the hotel recommended. Be aware, the shuttle service offered by the hotel is offered at very random times and even if you reserve ahead of time, they sometimes forget and do not honor. Would recommend staying closer to the main location and spending your money at a more welcoming place.

The best and friendliest service I’ve ever had. Juliana, Dahlia, Max, Francesco, and all the others were wonderful. The room was good, the AC worked well, and the views were spectacular. A little inconvenient being way up on the hill but the free shuttle was great or a short taxi ride. I highly recommend Hotel Villa Ducale.

Firstly, i am the type of person who does extensive amount of research before travelling on which hotel to stay at. Looking at most hotels in Taormina, before finally deciding to stay here. At Villa Ducale. The room was fantastic, and we stayed in one of the smaller ones. The location in the hills gives you a calm setting with hardly any noice and not a single disturbance. Still in walking distance from the town and main street, with many great restaurants and sights only being a 20 min. walk. With cozy streets leading the way and a breathtaking view, walking down from the hills. One of the largest debates i had with myself prior to booking, was that it wasn't close to the ocean / beach. This turned out to be no issue at all, with great (free) shuttle services leading you to a selection of great locations & beach clubs (which were all fairly priced). Most days we could book the time for the shuttle on our request, so little to no adaptation to a set time schedule. So you get the best of both worlds here, with the serenity of being away from the crowds and with breathtaking views. Still having easy access to the beautiful beaches & ocean. The service is beyond great, and the staff have a wonderful personal touch and attention to detail to everything, making your stay special. The pool and sunbeds in the garden are a great addition, and the restaurant, drinks and breakfast are excellent. We are already planning our next stay, Truly a great experience,

You get a view looking down at the city. The restaurant is on a balcony with a spectacular view of Mount Etna. The staff was wonderful and the rooms were spacious. The tiny pool is across the street with no lounge chairs . They offer a free shuttle van to and from the hotel in the central area. The staff wasn't clear on the pickup point on central Taormina. This place was a treat.

Great hotel - definitely worth to visit. Amazing views - both from rooms and restaurant. Very helpful staff - available whenever you need them. This hotel truly takes care of each guest - from the very beginning of their stay. The restaurant is much better than most restaurants in Taormina - even the most recommended ones.

Our stay overall was just perfect. The hotel is perfectly located on the rock offering a spectacular view on the Etna and the sea. Our room was beautiful but the best was the service we experienced throughout our stay. The whole team was super friendly by heart and very helpful. We felt very welcome and can only recommend the hotel. We will for sure come back when we return to the area.

My boyfriend and I spent a wonderful night at Villa Ducale. We got upgraded to a room with sea view and the view over the sea and Mount Etna is amazing! The bed was big and comfortable and we could watch the sunrise from our balcony. In the morning you can enjoy breakfast with the amazing view and there is a free shuttle bus to the city centre and back if you don't feel like climbing the stairs. The best thing about this hotel is the staff! Super friendly and helpful with great tips on where to eat, what to do etc. They really go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. Also always up for a little chat :)
