Lovely classic hotel with amazing views and a stunning pool area. Staff were very welcoming and attentive. Rooms are well decorated and very comfortable. Had an evening meal in the restaurant which was excellent. I especially recommend the rack of lamb.
Our stay was absolutely perfect.
The hotel was updated, immaculately clean- every meal at the restaurant was top rate and delicious even the breakfast which was included. The views are unmatched…
the cocktails at the bar were fun and different and really good..
The new pool was beautiful and relaxing…
The concierge booked us an amazing cooking class (last minute due to us not planning ahead) and a beach club visit (also last minute) and all the transportation we needed … both were highlights of the trip
we also used the shuttle service alot and it was prompt and terrific.
I would go back in a heartbeat!! Love this hotel.
Great views and excellent service meant we had a really pleasant stay. You are treated like family which is lovely,
Breakfast was a good already and the evening restaurant is super with views to match.
A shuttle service into the town was a bonus and used everyday.

Liked: Staff & service, amenities
Disliked: Cleanliness
We stayed for our honeymoon and loved the view. But unfortunately the first room we were placed in had a funky smell and after a few days of it not going away my wife was getting a headache and we also noticed there was mold on the walls of the bathroom and peeling wall paper with some water damage. We asked to move rooms and were placed in a new room and that shower also had a leak that left the floor towel soaked after each shower. We did have attentive staff when we asked for help. The best part was the view and eating breakfast with the help of Max, he was great and remembered that I needed gluten free options and would bring them each day when he saw us. We would have loved the place overall but had no luck speaking with the manager about the sub par room and didn’t receive any compensation.
This is an amazing boutique hotel. Spectacular view, wonderful staff, great breakfast.
Concierge incredibly helpful
Convenient hotel shuttle into town.
Staff was A , overall service was incredibly welcoming and helpful. Suites were very spacious and quite well appointed. Excellent value for the money spent. A wonderful way to experience Taormina in a quiet, luxurious, “up above all” place!
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!
Absolutely magnificent. The property, the staff from front desk to dining to the gent who drove the shuttle bus were so incredibly friendly and hospitable. Could not be more happy with the stay.
Absolutely amazing. Our villa was exceptional. Staff at the front desk and the restaurant were above and beyond. Great restaurant. Breath taking view. Excellent location.
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.
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.
