The Villa Ducale is small and intimate 4 star hotel in Taormina, ideal for your family holiday or a memorable romantic break. The 17-roomed establishment is housed in a delightful Mediterranean-style residence with lovely panoramic terraces adorned by flower pots. It was once possessed by a noble Sicilian family. The villa enjoys a superb hillside position, away from the city bustle and the main touristic flows, commanding spectacular views over the historic old town, the Bay of Giardini Naxos and the majestic Volcano Etna, being, at the same time, only a 10 to 15 minute stroll to the town centre of Taormina. Regular and free for hotel guests shuttle service to the historic city centre is available too. There is also a bus stop of the public transport network right outside the villa. Guests will appreciate the pleasant sunbathing terrace with deck-chairs and incredible sea views where buffet-style breakfast is served too, the fragrant flower garden with Jacuzzi, the cozy bar serving refreshing cocktails and local pasta specialties and the complimentary wireless Internet connection. The accommodations consist of 11 guest rooms and 6 suites, each one furnished and decorated in a unique style, featuring antique furnishings, original beds of wrought iron and luxurious Sicilian fabrics. In each room or suite you will enjoy the original Sicilian atmosphere, complimented by the latest amenities and private terraces (in all accommodations) with inspiring views over the bay, the historic town and Etna Volcano. In-room amenities include private bathrooms with Jacuzzi bathtub and shower, air-conditioning and wireless Internet connection.
