My fiancé and I stayed at Villa Ducale for 5 nights at the start of November. Your holiday starts immediately on arrival when you are invited to take a seat on the terrace, experience the spectacular view, whilst enjoying a welcome drink. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful, offering useful advice, including details of the shuttle bus service and local walks/sites to visit. As mentioned by many previous reviewers, the breakfast and early evening food options were also excellent.
We stayed in a junior suite, which was spacious, beautifully decorated and had lovely views of the town below and Etna in the distance from the private terrace. The "extras", such as fast free wifi, DVD player in room (with DVDs available at reception), jacuzzi and small library were welcome additions.
In the evening, the hotel offers dining options on the terrace, featuring local Sicilian pasta and fish dishes. Although the menu may not be as extensive as restaurants in town, the convenience and atmosphere makes it an enticing option for dinner, with food and wine available at very reasonable prices.
Overall, a fantastic hotel with superb service. I would highly recommend it, especially for couples looking for a relaxing and romantic break in a gorgeous setting.More
