From the moment we arrived the staff made us feel very welcome and looked after our every need. The room we stayed in was excellent with fantastic views (I believe this applies to all the rooms). Nothing was too much trouble including free shuttles to and from the town centre and the sister hotel where we could make use of... more

It is very unusual that I bother to write a review of a hotel, but the Villa Ducale, Toarmina is certainly worth my effort. Overall I would rate the hotel as being excellent. It is a small boutique hotel, which has an outstanding view of both Toarmina as well as Mount Etna. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, only... more

Welcome drink on terrace a nice touch and the early evening canapes. The views of the bay of Naxos and Etna are stunning. Even parked our car for us and also... more

From the moment we arrived our party of 9 felt welcome and at home. Our (many) bags were brought to our rooms, which was a big help as there are no elevators in this mountainside retreat, while we enjoyed a drink on the terrace patio. With its breathtaking views of Naxos Bay and Mt Etna the patio is the primary... more

We stayed at Villa Ducale in June for my partner's 40th birthday. I chose Villa Ducale from the stunning reviews on trip advisor, and was not disappointed in any way. There is nothing more I can add to these reviews. The reservation service, welcome, our room, customer service during our stay, shuttles, transfer to the airport exceeded our expectations. We... more

On arrival, we were requested to sit on the terrace to look at Mount Etna. With glasses of prosecco in hand and Luca describing the... more

We are just back from one of our best vacation ever and we spent it at Villa Ducale, Taormina. This is an exceptional place you will never forget - a superior view, a nice room and of course the people who make your stay a real holiday. We used their junior suite number 6 and it was nice and delicate... more

Having stayed in many excellent hotels on the five continents, we give first place to Hotel Villa Ducale. Having stayed there for over two weeks, it is truly a special place. Beautiful views, food and wine but what makes this an exceptional hotel is the staff who are second to none ! Attention to detail and the fact that no... more

We stayed at the Villa Ducale in two different rooms for a total of 5 days (four days in Room No. 10 and one day in No. 22), and if you plan to stay in Taormina this is the ideal choice to stay if you look for a small and elegant hotel. Originally an old aristocratic Sicilian villa the entire... more
