Hotel Villa Ducale

Wonderfully friendly and helpful staff, very relaxed and unstuffy, fantastic breakfast with beautiful views of the coastline and mountains, lovely antipasti provided in the evening with cocktails on the terrace, spacious room with private balcony and sea view. Best hotel we've stayed in and a fantastic start to our honeymoon.

The only drawback was the quite long walk to and from the town - pleasant on the way down but uphill on the way back, but a shuttle bus was provided by the hotel and there are local buses too.

Although the hotel is situated somewhat outside the main Taormina area the friendly staff and excellent views coupled with good fare in the restaurant more than made up for the distance. The suite was comfortable and clean. I would however suggest that the shuttle service to the city centre be more frequent. We will certainly return

The view, hospitality and breakfast were outstanding. The lighted and clear mirror in the bathroom made everybody look beautiful. I also liked having a be-day. It was very quiet because it was a long walk from the action of the town.

I didn't like that the only view to the outside was through the door, no other windows in the small room. It was a long walk from town.

Gorgeous setting and very friendly and welcoming staff
