We travelled around Sicily in a group of 6 friends, all 40-something and looking for charming and different places to stay that offered an experience in themselves. The Villa Ducale certainly was that, in the most positive of senses. We arrived tired after a long mountain drive and were welcomed with prosecco on the terrace. The view at night over... more

We had seen good comments about Villa Ducale. We arrived with a 2 days reservation. We stayed 4 days and we would have loved to stay even more. Upon arrival, two glasses of Proseco were offer to us. Excellent view from our own little patio, and the hotel's terrace could not be better located with the absolute magnificent view of... more

A breathtaking view, charming room, great service, our stay here was the highlight of our trip to Sicily. We wish we could have stayed longer, and booked it for the end of the trip rather than the beginning, as they set the standard so high, most of our other hotels on the trip just couldn't measure up. more

My husband and I were booking a hotel in Taormina with the only 5 star rating and our daughter put us on the Trip Advisor website. Hotel Villa Ducale had the best rating,so we changed our reservation. We were not disappointed! It was the best property of our 2 week vacation in Paris and Italy. The staff feels like family,... more

My son and I stayed here two nights in early November. We had room #12; two balconies; lovely decor; fabulous bath (best on my entire trip); staff could not have been nicer; made dinner reservations; offered refreshments; and made interesting conversation with us. Great breakfast too. Views are absolutely breathtaking. This is a really really lovely place. more

We have recently returned from our honeymoon in Sicily and out of the four hotels that we visited, this one won hands down! The warm welcome was just what we needed and which was so sadly missing at the other hotels, the staff went out of their way to introduce themselves and have a chat about the hotel and area.... more

My wife and I have recently returned from an 11 night stay at Villa Ducale, which we booked on the basis of the many favourable reviews posted by other guests. I have relied on TripAdvisor reviews for a number of years now and have never been disappointed, but this hotel is the best yet. The superb views of Etna and... more

My husband and I spent four wonderful nights at Hotel Villa Ducale. The staff were very warm, friendly and helpful. The service was very personal and all of the staff went out of their way to make our stay truly memorable. From the warm welcome and help with touring information to the absolutely amazing views, from the gourgeous room to... more

After reading all the wonderful reviews on trip advisor, I booked my stay at Villa Ducale for five nights. It was even better than the reviews. The staff was extraordinary, competent, accommodating and so friendly. My family of 4 stayed in a Deluxe-Suite which was perfect. The room had a balcony with a beautiful view. Bathroom was large and super... more
