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.

10/10 Exceptional

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.

While the hotel has beautiful views of the water, the location is very inconvenient to get into town. The staff is hit or miss with many of the workers quite rude and unhelpful and we were overcharged multiple times by the taxi companies that the hotel recommended. Be aware, the shuttle service offered by the hotel is offered at very random times and even if you reserve ahead of time, they sometimes forget and do not honor. Would recommend staying closer to the main location and spending your money at a more welcoming place.
David, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

O hotel tem uma vista linda, com uma piscina excelente. O restaurante também é muito bom, assim como o café da manhã. A equipe da recepção é muito eficiente, estão todos de parabéns. Acho que o hotel só peça um pouco na limpeza e no conforto do quarto. Nesses pontos entendo que deixou a desejar, especialmente se considerado o valor pago pela diária.

Exceeded all expectations in literally every way!

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.

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.

A beautiful hotel away from the busy town centre.

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.

This is where you want to stay!

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!
