Karen's Review Of This Property:

The Villa Ducale’s superlative reputation has been earned thanks to the passionate hospitality of its owners, Rosaria and Andrea Quartucci. Originally Rosaria’s childhood home, its 17 romantically-styled rooms and suites are within two houses, divided by the street. A winding road takes you up past the center of town to a residential area that offers memorable views. If you are able to tear yourselves away from Villa Ducale’s comfortable, very attractive rooms (each appointed with Sicilian solar color palette, local artisan work, antiques, and fine linens) you will be rewarded with a sumptuous buffet breakfast on the flower-laden terrace featuring a variety of home-prepared specialties to satisfy any taste. Try to concentrate on this feast while gazing over the steep hillside sweeping down to the open sea and back up to the towering Etna volcano looming to the right. Most rooms have a terrace and all have sea-views of either the northern or southern coastline. The very friendly staff assists with the many convenient services offered, including free Internet access, private mini van shuttle to the town center or down to the private beach. Don’t miss a chance to walk down to town on the walking path with head-spinning views right over the sea, Teatro Greco, and more.

best welcome ever, Villa Ducale is the most beautiful boutique hotel I’ve experienced ever. The quality of the rooms, the views and the staff are second to none. Located in a secluded area of the Village away from the popular town centre which you can reach with a very comfortable shuttle. the views are real breathtaking ones especially at sunset. coming back soon....
