Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was absolutely fantastic! The rooms were incredibly spacious and beautifully appointed with ample storage space for all my luggage. The high-quality bathroom with an enormous walk-in shower was a real treat. It was probably one of the nicest hotel accommodations I have ever experienced, with a huge living room, elegant, comfortable furnishings, and amazing bathroom. However, the room was a bit small, simple, and rather dark, with deep teal walls.
I couldn't have asked for a better stay! The rooms were immaculate, spacious, and offered a private outdoor area with stunning views. The service was top-notch, thanks to Jessica and Max who made our mornings delightful. The location was quiet yet convenient, perfect for leisurely walks, and the dining experience was truly special. However, I missed having sunbeds around the location.
I truly had an unforgettable experience at this hotel. The rooms were incredibly comfortable and well-appointed, providing a luxurious stay with all the facilities one could wish for.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of delight and slight inconvenience. The rooms were beautifully appointed with luxurious touches, although the distance from the reception posed a significant challenge. Breakfast was a highlight, one of the best I've ever had, with a lovely touch of luxury.
Staying at this hotel was a true gem! The deluxe suite I had was across the road from the main hotel, offering breathtaking views over the island. The rooms were carefully planned to maximize the stunning views, though a bit more space would have been perfect.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms had a huge balcony with a million-dollar view but were noisy due to sounds of moving furniture. The staff was incredibly friendly and went out of their way to make my holiday special. The location offered stunning panoramic views but lacked immediate sunbeds. The dining experience was exceptional with a variety of Sicilian specialties, although more daily choices would be appreciated.
Staying at Hotel Villa Ducale was a unique experience. The rooms were incredibly spacious with ample storage space and a luxurious bathroom featuring a huge walk-in shower.
