Spectacular location sea and Etna. Welcome from staff was exceptional, complementary drink of choice on arrival. Complementary Afternoon tea and cakes. Free nibbles with charged cocktails every evening. Free shuttle serrvice. The hotel coulnt have tried harder to please. Very nice stay.

Staff were very friendly from the moment we arrived exhausted in our hire car to the time our luggage was taken from our room to the car on our departure. They bent over backwards to be helpful and answer our queries and give advice on trips. The breakfast was a varied feast! The shuttle service to town was a great help especially when the weather was not good. Walking down was ok but the shuttle back was a godsend.

I thought the menue for evening meals was a bit restricted but as we were advised that the chef was someone who basically did home cooking we were not expecting gourmet meals. However the quality of the food was satisfactory. I can understand that in the summertime with warm evenings long daylight hours most people would dine out in town. However in March when the weather is unpredictable maybe wet or cold, dark evenings and a lot of restaurants barely functoining, a little more attention to evening diners would make the hotel perfect.

An absolutely.perfect hotel.The staff could not have been more helpful. Our welcome at Villa Ducale was second to none. The bedroom enjoyed one of the best views we have ever experienced. A wonderful find

Wonderful location, room, staff, food and view. Highly recommend

Fantastic small hotel - really nice employees, very good food in restaurant and also breakfast very good.

Excellent breakfast with wonderful selection. Marvelous views of Mt. Etna, the town and waterfront. Very pleasant and helpful staff making us feel most welcome. Warm, friendly atmosphere at breakfast and dinner.

The dinner menu offered could be more extensive.

Great hotel - staff were all lovely & made us feel very welcome.

Marvelous location, stunning vistas, 1st class hotel with great attention to detail, great food, and best of all....some of the warmest and most wonderful staff we've ever met. You are treated at Villa Ducale as a family member.

fabulous staff, unbelievable view, just a fantastic hotel

The staff was very friendly and helpful - they spoke excellent English. They were very eager to make sure that we enjoyed our stay and were very knowledgeable about the area. The location afforded breathtaking views of the bay, the village and Mt. Etna in the distance. The hotel offers a free shuttle service into the down town area which is very useful. We were there in the off season, so some of the restaurants had already closed for the season. However, the hotel did offer an evening meal of local specialities. The breakfast buffet included fresh fruits, fruit tarts, eggs, bacon, potatoes, cheeses, ham, cereal, breads, etc. There was also an afternoon tea and an early evening selection of appetizers. The bedroom portion of the suite was spacious, with a large bathroom and nice sitting room. We also had a small terrace with a little table and chairs where we could enjoy the beautiful scenery. We would stay here again.

The hotel was wonderful! The staff were incredible! The food was fabulous! The views were amazing! This was the most wonderful hotel I have stayed at in all of Italy!
