Hotels with Bars in Taormina

Really best !!! I stayed in a suite apartment, the best view and the best room. I was able to cook and enjoy Taormina with the best ocean view. Even in the low season, even if there was no breakfast, they served freshly baked bread and juice of freshly grown oranges.

This hotel is a little dated but don’t be fooled. After a day, you don’t even notice. It is run very efficiently in all depts from my observations over a 2 weeks stay here. Location is great with a free bus up to the town and the panoramic views of Etna are stunning at breakfast. What makes this hotel the perfect stay is the consistency of staff behaviour. They are so helpful and friendly in all depts and at all times. They didn’t need to; be but they were. I was so sad to leave and I think i will miss that staff more than the place. Shout out to Grazia, Marco, Giacamo #dreamteam and the beach bar youngsters! Guiseppe and the restaurant gang. The amazing Salvos who effected a rescue to help a passing boat. #heros. Can’t recommend enough. See for yourself.

. All the Bar staff and waiting staff here are super nice and very professional . The Buffet breakfast is fresh and delicious with plenty of choice and the hotel is very clean . The hotel shuttle is also a bonus as the 10-15 minute walk into Taormina is uphill and in the July heat not an option for us . Whilst the bedrooms have recently had a lick of fresh paint and a spruce up a significant proportion of them ( possible as much as a quarter ?) are at the back of this small and compact hotel with no balcony or terrace and certainly no sea or garden view . These standard rooms overlook the busy main road which is very close to the back of the hotel and noisy at night. We hadn’t realised this when we booked and we weren’t really expecting this from what is advertised as a 5* luxury hotel . The main restaurant was also disappointing and extremely overpriced for what it was (€40 + for pizza ??) We tried it three times but found much, much better 5* restaurants in Taormina itself . This place is great for a couple of nights but probably wouldn’t stay here much longer again . Other reviews have said the staff and service elevate this hotel and we would agree with that . Tho’ it would be a courtesy to all guests if room service trolleys full of half eaten food and used plates could be removed from the corridors at night time before other guests wake up . This is most definitely not a 5 * feature .

Highly recommend Hotel Villa Ducale - we just stayed there earlier this week and we are already planning when we can return for another stay... The staff is amazing! No request too small and they will try to accommodate. When we drove up the hill to the hotel, we were floored by its beauty, and we immediately asked to extend our stay another night. To accomodate the additional night without changing rooms, the hotel manager asked if we would like to have a look at one of the suites across the street and we were thrilled to stay in Suite #5. We enjoyed stunning views from our terrace of Messina Bay area and the ”boot” of Sicily. The furniture in the suite was very comfortable, and we found it to be peaceful to sleep at night. I woke up early one morning and enjoyed the amazing sunrise from our terrace. The views are stunning from every corner of the hotel, which was designed so the guests can easily relax and enjoy the surroundings. We ordered drinks on the terrace near the restaurant for happy hour each evening to enjoy the sunset. Francesco was often our gracious host for happy hour, and helpful with tourist info and questions. We had dinner the first night we checked in and our meal was spectacular! The hotel does offer free shuttle to Taormina, which we used. However, it is easy to get a taxi in Taormina and not a significant expense so you can enjoy yourself on your own schedule. We enjoyed the small pool each afternoon to cool off, after exploring the area. The morning we checked out, breakfast was over- however, the staff graciously extended the buffet so our family could enjoy our last meal overlooking Taormina. We loved this wonderful hotel, the staff, the food, the views and the suite was amazing. We hope to return soon, and highly recommend Hotel Villa Ducale!!!

The hotel has been in existence for 119 years. The service is very good. The location of the hotel is also good. It is just at the entrance of the most prosperous area on the mountain. It is also close to the ”Internet celebrity” four seasons. It has an independent garden area and swimming pool. The price is very high. The room is clean The product quality is also very good. The only fly in the ointment is that the facilities and room types are slightly flawed, but as a century-old hotel, I am already very satisfied. Generally speaking, it is highly recommended!

We got married at the Villa Schuler in August 2022 and it was truly brilliant!! We came over from England and had a Civil Ceremony at the Palazzo Di Santo Stefano, which was beautiful. Us and all of our guests stayed at the Hotel and they were absolutely fantastic for the entire duration of our 5 night stay and made our Wedding Reception perfect for us! From the moment we arrived, Gerhard, Christine, Claudia and all of the staff made us feel extremely welcome, at ease, and so special as they understood how big a trip this was for us! They worked alongside us to ensure we had the best possible Wedding; we had a drinks reception, live music and canapes in their lovely, secluded garden, then a delicious Sicilian wedding dinner, drinks and dancing with a DJ on the roof terrace - which they made look really stunning!! Ours was their biggest event so far this year with 40 weddings guests and they seemed so proud and happy to be hosting; nothing was stressful for us and they were natural hosts. On every aspect, Gerhard, Claudia and the team went over and above! The level of service from all of the staff is exceptional, and the hotel has retained such a lovely warm, traditional, family feel. We had one of the top floor suites with a balcony and sun loungers, it was a comfortable, fantastic room with an excellent sea view! I can highly recommend the Hotel Villa Schuler for both a Holiday and a Wedding - we definitely made the right decision : ) I cannot fault anything. All of our families and friends loved the hotel and everything about the Wedding and many want to return. Myself and my husband are going to revisit to celebrate our first anniversary in August 2023 and we can't wait!! Thank you to everybody involved and we look forward to seeing you again.

The location and the view of the hotel are impeccable and the rooms have unrivaled sea and mountain views. The facilities are actually very good, but the strange bathroom shower head design makes the bath extremely awkward. The hotel is the old grand theatre, and it is the town that continues to go down. The distances are just right. The beach is not good, but the beaches in southern Italy are the same. It is the kind of large-grained sandstone beach, which is very ground. The only thing that I feel dissatisfied is that the Italians are really too playable. The party is still playing music loudly at 12:30 in the evening. It is not a complaint that it is estimated that it will not be closed several times. Parking is also a bit difficult, we all parked in the parking lot lumbi garage about 2 km away, and then take the shuttle bus, convenient.
