We had a wonderful time at this home away from home. The staff were the most welcoming and warm that we have ever encountered, and showed superb hospitality at every aspect of our stay. The hotel was also very accommodating to celiac disease/gluten free diet, along with delicious food otherwise! Could not recommend Hotel Villa Ducale more!

Extremely welcoming & helpful staff. Reception desk are great at recommending excursions and making restaurant bookings. The shuttle bus to and from Taormina is very efficient. Although the 600 steps path is highly recommended once, for the views. And all the views from the hotel are out of this world.

This was hands down our best European hotel experience. We were treated like royalty from the moment we arrived and our luggage was taken care of immediately, to the relaxed check in process and before check out we were offered to stay later (evening flight) and continue to enjoy the hotel amenities (including a changing room shower). The breakfasts was delicious, staff extremely courteous and helpful. Our room was cleaned daily and the beds were made again even when we just stepped out for a few hours. Everyone was extremely professional, took pride in their work and seemed to truly enjoy it. We cannot wait to go back. Grazie!!!

Hotel has a spectacular view. It’s at the very top so it takes longer to get to and from town but If you like to walk stairs and see wonderful views, this is a great place. The hotel itself is a bit dated in style, but There are pockets of contemporary features throughout as well. The hotel was very clean and everyone was very accommodating and extremely friendly. Common terraces and the restaurant are superb. The pool is very small and outdated.
