Nice people, wonderful location, fantastic food and wine

Brilliant hotel, definitely worth its money. The staff is super friendly, the breakfast amazing and the breakfast outstanding.

You cannot beat the view from this hotel of mount etna, the coast and Taormina from above - it was outstanding. You saw this from the restaurant, the infinity pool and also our room. It does mean you are above the town which requires a walk down a fair number of steps into town (and back up) or use of the free hourly hotel shuttle, but the walk is also beautiful and was very doable in October’s mild weather. It also means you are aware from the crowds in a very quiet area. The hotel felt warm and homely and the service was excellent. We loved having a cocktail in the cosy lounge in the evening whilst relaxing on the sofas. Rooms were comfortable with a choice of pillows. Air con was on the noisy side but wasn’t essential for us in Autumn. Parking was very easy on the street outside of the hotel and free. Overall, it was on the pricey side but worth paying a bit more for getting to stay somewhere quite special.

Very professional in every way. Great suit, fantastic views, very helpful staff

It’s difficult to convey how much this hotel exceeded our expectations. We booked last minute without much in formation about the hotel. The photographs online were mixed. But when we were shown our suite, we were blown away. It was completely brand new. The bed was the comfiest bed we’d ever slept in. The view is the best view from a bed we’ve ever had. The furnishings and products are amazing. Next we explored the pool area. There is an absolutely stunning infinite pool overlooking the sea. Finally, the staff…they were all incredibly helpful, charming, and lovely. We spent the last day of a ten day trip here, and it really made leaving for raining England even harder. Thank you for a wonderful stay. P.s. There is also a free shuttle bus to the town and we were allowed ti enjoy the pool for a whole day after our morning check out.

Beautiful

非常棒

Great views and excellent service meant we had a really pleasant stay. You are treated like family which is lovely, Breakfast was a good already and the evening restaurant is super with views to match. A shuttle service into the town was a bonus and used everyday.

This place was magical. We had booked another place and was extremely disappointing. We took the plunge to move places and Ducale came through in the min and nothing but a complete dream. The staff was super welcoming and helpful. The place is beautiful overlooking the sea away from the riff raff. Food was great, bedroom and amenities were all amazing. I wish we had more nights with them.

Overall the hotel was fine The food however was disappointinly average at best and needs to be improved .

Beautiful, well-kept regional property ...with great staff and food

A beautiful hotel where we were made to feel at home from the moment we arrived. Away from the heaving town centre with stunning views we were warmly welcomed and looked after during our stay. Daniel was a star and provided us brilliant guidance and recommendations.. all the restaurants suggested were a hit! Our room (junior suite) was spotless and very comfortable with a huge bed. If we had one gripe it would be that there was no water provided in the room but had to purchase a bottle at the bar. A small touch of providing a cold bottle of water in the mini bar would have been the final touch on an otherwise perfect stay. The complementary shuttle service to the town was a great touch and we used it regularly… you’re looking at a €20 taxi each way otherwise. The restaurant has stunning views and breakfast was plentiful. Had both dinner and lunch from the a la carte menu and the quality of food was high it not a little pricey. Definitely recommend a stay here and we’ll be back for sure.

Facility with breath taking views. Staff always eager to make your stat memorable.

Far from center of town. No elevator. Only stairs to get your bags and luggage up and down

This is it! The very best place to stay in Taormina with breathtaking views, amazing service and the most hospitable staff that treated us like VIP’s( Thank you Santina!). I highly recommend this hotel and look forward to going back to enjoy the perfect Sicilian holiday. They took care of our car and parked it safely away during our time in Taormina. We took advantage of the convenient shuttle up and down to the town center(5 minutes away). The view and experience at this hotel is what one dreams about and Villa Ducale delivers it all the way. Stop searching- this is it!!! Complimenti to the staff who made us feel like family and very special. We had an amazing room with a terrace where we enjoyed our lunch- the food was delicious. Every morning the breakfasts were so wonderful- Max always gives you service with his charm! It was hard to leave but we will definitely go back whenever we go back to Taormina!

Absolutely stunning property. I would highly recommend this hotel. I didn’t want to leave. Views are heaven. Staff was friendly and accommodating. The hotel aesthetic is breathtaking. The walk to town is about 15 minutes downhill, doable plus hotel runs shuttles into town every hour. Stay here, you won’t regret it.

Staff was A , overall service was incredibly welcoming and helpful. Suites were very spacious and quite well appointed. Excellent value for the money spent. A wonderful way to experience Taormina in a quiet, luxurious, “up above all” place!

Etna was unfortunately cloud covered during our visit, but the views were still beautiful and the hotel is gorgeous. Staff was amazing.

Excellent service. Wonderful people. Incredible location.

Beautiful hotel with exceptional food and wonderful staff.
