Schöne und ruhige Lage mit ganz tollem Blick auf den Ätna - insbesondere von den entsprechenden Zimmern aus!
das Hotel liegt direkt unterhalb des kleinen netten Örtches Castelmola und ist ca. 4km von Taormina entfernt (d.h. man kommt nicht so einfach unmotorisiert nach Taormina);
Praktisch: Parkplatz im hoteleigenen Hof gegen Gebühr vorhanden - oder auf dem Parkplatz gegenüber;
die Hoteleinrichtung mit alten Holzmöbeln hat uns gut gefallen;
Rezeption sehr nett;
Frühstücksbuffet o.k.
Das Bett: die Matratze war für mich zu hart und das Bettzeug zuwenig kuschelig (Bettlaken mit Wolldecke)

The pool area, the building structure, the beautiful view of Etna volcano, the staff was very helpful and nice.
The AC was not powerful enough. It was not cool enough in the room. They were ants in the room.

Villa Sonia is a hidden gem, stunning scenery and amazing views from our room and pool. The breakfast was delicious and served on the terrace with views of Etna, a fantastic start to the day.
A short walk from the bars and restaurants of Castelmola

good value for money. Friendly staff. Good hotel restaurant. good breakfast. nice view

Perfect view of Etna from balcony
This is not 4 star hotel in terms of quality. Rather old, repainted and somehow repaired. Breakfast was in standard Italian style served in "restaurant"/hall from 70s. During breakfast only low/instant Caffe was served from old and not working caffe machines (on every day different machine was broken). You could get good Caffe from good caffe machine (the same that staff have been doing theirs) but you have to pay additionaly for it.
Pool is rather small and pool bar is often missing staff so you have to wait to get anything.
Cleaness in room was ok apart from bedcover which was horribly dirty with lot of stains but it was not put on bed after room cleaning so that is a plus. Water in mini bar was not free which was not surprising after caffe situation during breakfast.
You could spot some fungus in bathroom walls.

Fantastic view of Mt Etna
Lovely pool area
Rooms very clean and bed comfortable
Really good breakfasts
Very friendly, helpful staff
Very dated decor especially the shower/bathroom. The air conditioning was noisy and not very effective although this may have been because our room was huge

The breakfast was a really great selection of sweet and savoury, with also delicious coffee! The view from the pool was incredible, a sprawling mountain range with Etna in the background. The hotel was so peaceful and situated in the lovely village of castelmona, a real gem!
The only improvement we would like to see is to have a member of staff stationed at the pool bar. Often staff would be absent from the bar and customers would have to wait for them to return to order drinks, this was a little frustrating.

Fantastic location and amazing views
4.3
Location is excellent for a chilled out weekend get away. The views are breathtakingly beautiful. It's a few minutes walk from the tiny village of Castelmola .. and around 15 minutes away from Taormina by taxi. There is also a bustop opposite the hotel but you need to put on a particular face mask to access the bus so we opted for a taxi which was 20 euro each way down and up to Taormina.
Not enough umbrellas by the pool... The breakfast was nothing special although sufficient if you're not very picky.

We loved everything about the property. As soon as you walk in you are taken away by the stunning view of mount etna peaking through an arched window. this is especially beautiful as the sun sets in the evening. the hotel has a lot of charm and character. the staff are kind and welcoming. i especially loved how sweet one was!

location
the interior needs a big upgrade for the money we spend for 2nights
4.3
The location is perfect and the views are amazing. Castelmola is calm and relaxing and there is a bus stop right outside the hotel to go into Taormina for more liveliness and sight seeing.
No tea (or tea making facilities) in the room. No where to get a takeout tea to take to the room
4.3
We had a triple room, which was spacious, had a wonderful view of Mt Etna from our large outside terrace/balcony. The staff were super helpful and the beds super comfy. Breakfast was excellent
The hotel is very tired and looks like it's stuck in the 80/90s with lots of dark wood and pink walls. It needs upgrading. Compared to where we had stayed the previous 3 nigjts (which was super choc for the same price) it was a shock to the system
