Hotel Villa Sonia was amazing! We had a great stay from check-in to check-out. The staff were so helpful and booked excursions as well as scooter rentals. Plus the breakfast and restaurant were great. Castelmora was only a few flights of stairs away and an amazing way to end the nights. Our room was spectacular, great view of Mt Etna and a wonderful haven from the midday heat. We would definitely return for future holidays.

Beautiful property and lovely staff. Beautiful room. Prettily decorated with useful antiques. You have to go to front desk to get pool towels. Pool closed at 6pm on Saturday night. Something was up with plumbing and the bathroom shower drain smelled disgusting and was not resolved during our stay after reporting it. Heavy on air freshener. Shuttle touted as an amenity. Only two am shuttles to Taormina and one return. Thankfully gravelly g with a resident so he knew best places to park.

Hotel Sonia is set in a stunning setting clinging to the side of a mountain overlooking Mt Etna. She is beautiful but in need of an update and more care around the property. It is clean, the staff helpful and courteous, the rooms ok, breakfast is great, bar service ok, and the village it is in is definitely worth the detour.

Lovely quiet hotel in the beautiful location of Castelmola, just a couple of winding road miles from Taormina. Rooms are nice although bathrooms are lacking a decent shower. Reception staff, Luigi and David were a pleasure and extremely helpful on a daily basis, from arranging taxis to offering local restaurant suggestions. The Hotel terrace restaurant is also good and the view of Mt Etna from this terrace is stunning. I loved my morning Cappuccinos with that view. The owners were very active in the running of the operations, always greeted us with a smile and their family assist them throughout the hotel. I believe their son in law is the Pizza chef and we did not find any better Pizza anywhere locally. Thank you for a wonderful and memorable week in Sicily.
