“Superb Boutique Hotel”

Reviewed 19 May 2013 NEW

Villa Ducale was not only the best hotel we stayed in during our 16 days traveling throughout Sicily, it is one of the best hotels I have stayed in over many years of travel. The views from the terrace for breakfast, tea time and cocktail hour were breathtaking. The breakfasts were an incredible variety of Sicilian meats, cheeses, vegetables, pastries... More

“Lovely hotel”

Reviewed 18 May 2013 NEW

As the other reviews mention, this is a lovely review. The decor was the best by far of any of the hotels we stayed in on our Italy trip. The staff is good and the waiters and shuttle bus drivers were amazing. We got a superior room with a larger patio which was very nice. The happy hour is great... More

“Home with full staff”

Reviewed 14 May 2013

Of all the hotels that I have stayed in the staff at Villa Ducale were the nicest and most helpful. The view from the terrace, where breakfast is served is breathtaking and the one lunch we had at the hotel was simple and delicious.

This place is truly amazing and the most memorable part of our stay in Italy.

This place is faultless - the dinner is fantastic... More

“A View with a Hotel Attached”

Reviewed 11 May 2013

We arrived at Villa Ducale at 8.45 p.m., tired, confused from driving vertically for ten minutes and in need of a drink. We were greeted with handshakes, a warm welcome, and taken straight in to the dining area for that drink and a look at the menu (dinner is only served until 8.30 so we were the last expected guests)....

“Taormina Flambé”

After my review last year ("Thank you Trip Advisor") and continuing our new love affair with Villa Ducale, we stayed again this year. Judging from comments on TripAdvisor, most people only stay at Villa Ducale for a few days, possibly just the once. So what does one get if you stay as we did for 9 nights (effectively 10 days)?...
