Hotel Taormina Villa Ducale

Perfect honeymoon hotel

We stayed at Hotel Villa Ducale for the second part of our honeymoon and from the minute we arrived the service was fantastic! The hotel staff are very friendly, speak fluent English and are willing to attend to your every need. They talk you through places to go, things to see, how to get there and also run a free shuttle service down into Taormina at set times which was really helpful. You can walk down lots of winding steps to the town, but its quite hard work in the heat! The hotel is situated right at the top of Taormina, which was perfect because the views of both Etna and the coastline were amazing! Our room, was very luxurious and very comfortable. The food served at breakfast is like nothing else! The spread ranged across about 3 tables, including fresh fruits, pastries, breads, savoury ‘antipasti-type’ food, cereals, eggs… whatever you fancied having, it’d be there! As well as a lovely cappuccino! Then at about 4pm a whole spread of pastries comes out served with tea and coffee (all complimentary), then at about 6pm they serve cocktails and canapes – all in the ‘sunset lounge’ overlooking Etna and the coast. It was wonderful! We had one evening meal at the hotel (because we wanted to try out all the restaurants in town, which the hotel were happy to advise on and book a reservation for us). The only slight criticism we’d have was that we had to wait a long time for our food to arrive, and when it did it wasn’t really what we were expecting from the menu description. Tasty as it was, it was was a slight let-down considering how amazing everything else was at the hotel. All in all, a perfect honeymoon hotel! Stayed June 2012, traveled as a couple
