Perched high on a cliff overlooking the medieval village of Taormina, with breathtaking views of the sea and Mount Etna, Hotel Villa Ducale is a delightful boutique hotel that retains more than an element of Sicilian tradition with a host of contemporary special touches. The ambience here is that of a private villa with a genuinely warm and welcoming staff. Start the day with a Sicilian breakfast on the terrace overlooking the bay of Giardini-Naxos towards Mount Etna and an endless Mediterranean beyond. Enjoy the wafting scents of jasmine and orange blossoms and then wander into the garden, past terracotta pots brimming with geraniums and bougainvillea, towards the Jacuzzi pool. Take a trip to Mount Etna and visit medieval Taormina with its fascinating Greek theatre. Discover the boutiques in the cobbled Corso Umberto before heading back to the hotel for drinks on the terrace while watching the lava glow of the volcano in the distance. Hotel Villa Ducale is a Small Luxury Hotels of the World property.Directions
