Sarah

We travelled to Villa Sonia as a couple in our mid-30s for 6 days in early April, staying B&B in a Superior Room (Room 410).
Location
Centrally located in Castelmola, with shops and bars a 5-minute walk away—plenty to do nearby for relaxed days. The walk to Taormina took around 30 minutes down and 35 back up. We’re moderately fit and it was ~20°C, but the uphill stretch could be tough in hotter months. There’s a bus stop nearby (we didn’t use it), and a taxi from Taormina sea area cost €40. We rented a car and used the secure car park (€7/day).
Staff
The standout of our trip—every reception staff member was kind, approachable, and gave great recommendations with detailed maps. Breakfast staff were also friendly and attentive.
Cleanliness
Rooms were cleaned daily to a high standard. All areas, including the pool and breakfast space, were consistently spotless.
Facilities
The hotel has a charming feel. Our room had an incredible view of Mt Etna, a huge balcony, and a very comfortable bed. No kettle initially, but one was provided same day on request. The pool area was lovely to relax in, though too cold to swim in April. Pool bar closed off-season, but drinks/snacks available in the lobby.
Food & Drink
Breakfast was good, with a small but varied selection—special mention to the apple cake. We only had dinner once, but food, wine, and service were all great and well priced.
Very good value.
We would return in a heartbeat!!

Clean and spacious room with fabulous view from the balcony. Shower was tiny and very dated. Lots of plumbing noises through the night disturbed our sleep. Breakfast decent with lots of fresh cake but the scrambled egg was watery and unappealing and many basic items such as bread often ran low and we had to ask to be replenished. Juice was awful. Lovely pool area with amazing view. Castelmola is lovely and the bus to Taormina stops directly outside the hotel. Overall a good stay.

Hotel is amazing, so many antiques and curiosity’s to look at. Very much old fashioned style. Stunning views, quiet location. Book an Etna view room as away from the road. Lots of choice for breakfast and the hotel restaurant just up the road, La Caverna is wonderful. From the pool, reception and the restaurant staff I really can’t fault them. This really is a wonderful hotel. A short walk up a hill is Castelmola for beautiful shops bars and lovely for a drink in the evening. Bus stop outside hote 15 mins to Taormina. You can walk down if fit. Great location

We stayed for 5 nights but would have loved to have stayed longer.
Every member of staff at the hotel we met during our stay was helpful, especially David on reception who made us welcome as soon as we arrived. The whole hotel is kept extremely clean, and the team are visibility working hard throughout the day.
We had a Classic room which was large enough for our needs and had alot of storage.
There was never a problem with getting a sun bed around the pool and the views of Mt. Etna are breathtaking.
Breakfast is a buffet with a good hot and cold selection and there is a great restaurant next door called the Caverna in addition a short walk up into the main square there are plenty of good restaurants.
The hotel offers a free Shuttle bus into Taomina, can organise a number of trips, we had a day at a beach club, and a vineyard trip.
We had a great stay and hope to be back next year.

The staff in this facility were very nice and helpful. In particular Davide on the reception desk was very helpful, respectful and nice.
The only issue I had with this facility is the parking was a little bit difficult because of the nature of the area which was very hilly.

Lovely stay! The Etna views from our room and the hotel in general were amazing. Really helpful staff and easy to get into Taormina. Short stroll up the hill and you’re in Castelmola which is also a beautiful little town. Would definitely recommend staying.
