I would give this hotel 3.5 if that was an option as we did actually have an enjoyable stay at Hotel Villa Sonja. There are many positives, the location (Castelmola is a beautiful little village), the grounds, the pool and the views. Also the reception staff were friendly and helpful. However we feel that this hotel relies heavily on its location and views and without those things it would just be a middle of the road very average hotel. For us it felt more like a 3 star hotel than a 4 star. The decor is definitely a bit dated but that actually didn't really bother me. However there were other things that i felt were just not up to par. For a price tag of over €300 a night, It would have been nice if the hotel had at least provided some shampoo in the room and maybe a free bottle of water. The breakfast was considerably below average compared to most other 4 star hotels that we've stayed in and it was ridiculous to have to pay extra just to have an expresso or any coffee that was actually drinkable. As I said we enjoyed our stay and Castlemola very much anyway. It's just a shame the hotel does not live up to its full potential.

Nous avions il est vrai, une belle grande chambre avec vue sur l'Etna. Lit spacieux et bonne literie, vaste armoire, frigo-bar, table de travail, commode, table de salon et deux fauteuils, petite terrasse. Du coup on a pas eu envie de la quitter pour une autre, quelconque, malgré les problèmes (qu'on nous avait promis de régler mais qui s'avéreront ensuite récurrents) de refoulement d'odeurs au niveau de la douche (ils ont changé la crépine mais cela n'a évidemment rien arrangé). Nous avons fait appel au système D, et recouvert chaque jour l'évacuation avec un linge humide pour stopper le refoulement et le séjour a ainsi pu se dérouler sans que la chambre soit empuantie chaque jour mais enfin, ceci est indigne d'un 4 étoiles ! A noter que dans ce quatre étoiles donc, il n'y a pas de chaussons ni de peignoirs dans les chambres. En revanche les serviettes étaient changées tous les jours. La climatisation de la chambre ne fonctionnait pas non plus, David le réceptionniste (par ailleurs très sympathique) ne me croyait pas et, persuadé que je ne savais pas m'en servir est même monté dans la chambre pour me le prouver. Il a finalement été contraint de reconnaître qu'il y avait bien une panne et cela a été réparé dans la journée. En parlant de pannes, l'unique ascenseur est tombé deux fois en panne sur la semaine, pannes qui ont duré toute la journée à chaque fois. Comme la réception est au niveau 4, le petit-déjeuner au niveau 2 et que notre chambre était au niveau 6, autant dire qu'il y avait de quoi faire du sport ! Idem le soir pour aller manger au pittoresque village situé 400m plus haut, vu que le (mauvais) restaurant de l'hôtel n'ouvre que le midi. On s'est consolés en se disant que pour le même prix et même moins, on y a mieux mangé (et plus frais). Le restaurant du soir de l'hôtel situé à 50m, avec une animation musicale en fin de semaine, n'est pas mal, mais au quotidien ce bref aller-retour peut vite devenir lassant, d'autant qu'il n'y a pas moyen de prendre un verre le soir à l'hôtel, ni alentour. Pour un quatre étoiles, le petit déjeuner était vraiment médiocre, ni charcuterie, ni fromage de pays, des œufs brouillés surtout avec le goût, manifestement à base de poudre, du bacon hyper gras, mal cuit (ne pensons même pas au mot 'croustillant' !), pas de jus de fruits frais (en Sicile?!), des noix rances !, un jambon qui fait parfois rêver à un arc-en-ciel, du salami dont visiblement pas grand monde n'a voulu hier, un café qui vous rendrait apostat...et dans le matin calme, ce satané chariot à débarrasser qui tape sur les joints de carrelage dans un boucan d'enfer et dans lequel un bonhomme aussi souriant qu'un garde de Buckingham Palace, balance à grand bruit la vaisselle sale et les couverts. Quatre étoiles, vraiment ? L'un des points positifs de l'hôtel pourrait être la piscine mais à 18h15 le serveur du restaurant (fermé depuis 14h30), toujours aussi souriant, vient vous dire sans aménité de vous préparer car la piscine ferme à 18h30.

Great Hotel. Staff fantastic, they cant do enough for you, helpful to the extreme. Rooms are a good size and perfect for your stay, the views from the balconies of the volcano and surrounding areas are very good. Breakfast is plentiful and very good. didn't have a evening meal as we ate out every night but Ive heard people who were staying at the same time they were good. The old town is about a 30 minute walk downhill and only for the physically able. They will arrange a pickup at certain times Parking is around 7 euros a day in the underground parking next to the hotel. you can get a bus from the old town easy enough but if you want to explore id get a car. There are plenty of restaurants and bars dotted around for the evening and you don't have to go to the old town to have a good meal. Nice swimming pool and catches lot and lots or sun if you just want to lounge around. Excellent location cant really fault it

We have just returned from a week at the villa Sonia. The last reviewer Teresa summed it up perfectly for us. The staff. David ,Raul and Francesco in reception. Maria and her staff in La Caverna and Antonio the Jet 2 rep were all fantastic and made sure our holiday went like clockwork and was very relaxing. Would certainly recommend.

Fabulous place. Very hospitable, charmingly and uniquely decorated, unsurpassable view of Etna (from the superior room). Breakfast was generous, with lots of choice and Sicilian specialties. Reception staff were all helpful and knowledgeable. Pool and terrace were great, with splendid views. Associated restaurant (La Caverna) is in a cave and worth a visit. Castelmola is a pretty village (bit touristy but not as much as Taormina). Only drawback is you definitely need a car, and it’s a bit of a (hairy) drive to go anywhere else. But we were much happier staying there than in Taormina, which is way too crowded (and more pretentious).

Lovely, relaxing and breathtaking hotel. All staff from reception to cleaners were friendly, helpful and did all they could to make our break memorable. Good room and a wow factor view of Mt Etna. Bedroom clean and very comfortable. Pool area and outside seating clean and tidy. The food at breakfast was superb with a wide range to choose from and I looked forward to it every day. I am glad we stayed at this special place and I really do hope we can return in the not too distant future.

It was a beautiful villa. The staff was helpful friendly if I return to Sicily I’ll be sure to stay at Villa, Sonia.

Two nights in a beautiful hotel - the special location is completely unsurpassed with a panoramic view towards Etna and located in the beautiful mountain town of Castelmola, which is 5-600 m on a cliff top above the water and Taormina. Can only recommend this hotel strongly.
