It does mean you are above the town which requires a walk down a fair number of steps into town (and back up) or use of the free hourly hotel shuttle, but the walk is also beautiful and was very doable in October’s mild weather. It also means you are aware from the crowds in a very quiet area. The hotel felt warm and homely and the service was excellent. We loved having a cocktail in the cosy lounge in the evening whilst relaxing on the sofas. Rooms were comfortable with a choice of pillows. Air con was on the noisy side but wasn’t essential for us in Autumn. Parking was very easy on the street outside of the hotel and free. Overall, it was on the pricey side but worth paying a bit more for getting to stay somewhere quite special. ![Infinity pool](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d6c163e1-8f9b-4585-a884-6cc14789acdf-1761499059760.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Hotel room (12)](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/61383622-4fd5-48cf-9c41-e61c73564ff8-1761499051452.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Hotel lounge ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/502abd01-879b-4b5d-9561-b9bfde9a828e-1761499059705.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/af011eee-15c9-4971-a8d0-dd272e7b33da-1761499062403.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Emily Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Keely Jul 8, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Our room was beautiful and the staff were so kind and helpful! ##### Keely Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melissa Aug 31, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Intimate setting.

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 Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jacobo Sep 14, 2025 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Estuvo bien ##### Jacobo Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Claire Aug 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful ##### Claire Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Deng Jul 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities 非常棒 ##### Deng Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Spencer Jul 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort This place was magical.

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. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6564246d-5f19-425f-ab4e-9437d5be4f5e-1751353468861.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Rajen Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Claudio Jun 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Vista incrível, charmoso, ótimo café e serviços competentes.

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! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d8776bcd-ef01-4f2b-9b70-1c78974f892f-1747688706027.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![We never wanted to leave](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0af742aa-29ae-49e4-b5f3-d8b9b8898ca8-1747688702023.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e945055c-8c97-4d1c-be92-d07c285882d3-1747688710951.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Unforgettable view](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2f2a9fce-860e-4701-8f43-ed386e33ce7c-1747688695985.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Rosanna Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Excelsior Palace Portofino Coast](https://www.expedia.ca/Rapallo-Hotels-Excelsior-Palace-Hotel.h21704.Hotel-Information) > > [Italiana Hotels Cosenza](https://www.expedia.ca/Cosenza-Hotels-Italiana-Hotels-Cosenza.h1187073.Hotel-Information) > > [San Domenico Palace, Taormina, A Four Seasons Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Taormina-Hotels-San-Domenico-Palace.h54173.Hotel-Information) > > [Cristina Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/SantAgnello-Hotels-Cristina-Hotel.h16729.Hotel-Information) > > [Anantara Convento di Amalfi Grand Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Amalfi-Hotels-NH-Collection-Grand-Hotel-Convento-Di-Amalfi.h2885039.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Palladium Sicilia Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Campofelice-Di-Roccella-Hotels-Grand-Palladium-Sicilia-Resort-Spa-All-Inclusive.h2032217.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Chalet Al Foss](https://www.expedia.ca/Vermiglio-Hotels-Hotel-Chalet-Al-Foss.h9810090.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Villa Paradiso](https://www.expedia.ca/Taormina-Hotels-Hotel-Villa-Paradiso.h1134809.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Sant'Andrea, A Belmond Hotel, Taormina Mare](https://www.expedia.ca/Taormina-Hotels-Villa-SantAndrea.h889626.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Marina Riviera](https://www.expedia.ca/Amalfi-Hotels-Hotel-Marina-Riviera.h1419029.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Sorrento Palace](https://www.expedia.ca/Sorrento-Hotels-Hilton-Sorrento-Palace.h791135.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel de La Ville](https://www.expedia.ca/Civitavecchia-Hotels-Hotel-De-La-Ville.h921822.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Manning Relais](https://www.expedia.ca/Sorrento-Hotels-Villa-Manning-Relais.h21971579.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel San Giorgio](https://www.expedia.ca/Civitavecchia-Hotels-Hotel-San-Giorgio.h1709306.Hotel-Information) > > [Verdura Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Sciacca-Hotels-Verdura-Resort.h2512326.Hotel-Information) > > [Caruso, A Belmond Hotel, Amalfi Coast](https://www.expedia.ca/Ravello-Hotels-Caruso.h1129096.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Mary](https://www.expedia.ca/Vico-Equense-Hotels-Hotel-Mary.h4947835.Hotel-Information) > > [Altafiumara Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Villa-San-Giovanni-Hotels-Altafiumara-Resort-Spa.h1366348.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Isola Bella](https://www.expedia.ca/Taormina-Hotels-Hotel-Isola-Bella.h1476673.Hotel-Information) > > [NH Collection Taormina](https://www.expedia.ca/Taormina-Hotels-NH-Collection-Taormina.h2601418.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Excelsior Amalfi](https://www.expedia.ca/Amalfi-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Excelsior-Amalfi.h1105705.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Timeo, A Belmond Hotel, Taormina](https://www.expedia.ca/Taormina-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Timeo.h889634.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Lake Como](https://www.expedia.ca/Como-Hotels-Hilton-Lake-Como.h17246644.Hotel-Information) > > [Residence Panoramic](https://www.expedia.ca/Maiori-Hotels-Residence-Hotel-Panoramic.h44539994.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Le Fioriere](https://www.expedia.ca/Praiano-Hotels-Hotel-Le-Fioriere.h1897502.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Margherita](https://www.expedia.ca/Praiano-Hotels-Hotel-Margherita.h915378.Hotel-Information) > > [Mazzarò Sea Palace - The Leading Hotels of the World](https://www.expedia.ca/Taormina-Hotels-Mazzaro-Sea-Palace-VRetreats.h983846.Hotel-Information) > > [Santa Caterina](https://www.expedia.ca/Amalfi-Hotels-Santa-Caterina.h2541496.Hotel-Information) > > [La Plage Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Taormina-Hotels-La-Plage-Resort.h1723708.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Miramalfi](https://www.expedia.ca/Amalfi-Hotels-Hotel-Miramalfi.h1130642.Hotel-Information)
