“Villa Ducale crafts an experience, not just a stay, perched high above Taormina with views that feel stolen from a postcard. Its Sicilian heart beats strongest in the Incanto Restaurant, where local dishes rival the panorama. I particularly appreciate the shuttle service, a thoughtful touch considering the hilltop location; it transforms the distance into an advantage.”
