We’ll never forget the moment we stepped out. Beyond the exquisite flowers in the foreground were snow draped mt. Etna, her dainty smoke plume drifting over a spreading valley toward the sea, stately crags, gently molded hills nestling around a little village and finally, Taormina standing in all her charm above the curving coastline, shimmering bay and expanse of open sea beyond.
Hotel Villa Ducale is a traditional aristocratic Sicilian villa converted into a small boutique hotel and completely renewed in 2007. The hotel preserves a Sicilian traditional style, without renouncing at the most modern comforts like Wi-Fi internet connection in all the rooms.
The flowers planted everywhere and the colourful surroundings allow travelers to unwind and relax in a postcard-like natural environment.
The 11 Double rooms and 6 suites of Hotel Villa Ducale are all themed and individually furnished in typical Sicilian style.
The traditional décor, finished off in the smallest detail, may vary from raw stonework walls and wrought iron beds, to coral frames and tiled terracotta floorings. All antiques and painted ceramics are handmade by local artisans who preserve Sicily’s most precious traditions.
Comfortable King size bed or 2 twin beds, dressed in soft hand-crocheted linens, ensure a deep and relaxing sleep. The most charming ambience of Villa Ducale is a secluded, panoramic terrace where guests can enjoy the complimentary Sicilian breakfast or sip the Sunset cocktail and day-dream at the sight of Taormina’s sea coast.
In the Mediterranean garden, Jasmine and orange blossoms surround the sunny decks and Jacuzzi pool offering precious moments for reading, chatting or just relaxing in Taormina’s sun.
