“Great Hotel!!!! Would love to go back!!!!”

This hotel was in a perfect location....If you are a first time driver in Italy, be prepared for a long trip up....We rented a car, but after we got up there, we left it there. It is curvy road up. The best part of the hotel is the location, as it has great views of Mt Etna and is away from downtown. Taormina is about 15 Euro trip down with a taxi or you can take the bus which was 5 Euros round trip. The Staff was excellent, I have to point out Adrianna, as our luggage was lost, but she kept calling the airline to get the luggage back for us. It made us feel more comfortable.

Traveller's tip
The shops close after lunch and reopen at 4 pm.
Comment from the hotel's management
Thank you kindly for your comments and sorry for our late answer. We always appreciate when our guests take the time in letting us know that we are offering a positive quality of service. We look forward to welcoming you back to our hotel next time. Thank you and see you again next time...

“Definitely Would like to go back”

Excellent in all aspects apart from breakfast a little bland and bar/pool service a bit slow. Reception and all other service first class

suggest a week's stay minimum to allow for relaxing and trips around the area

“Lovely hotel in a beautiful Sicilian village”

The hotel is very pretty and well situated in Castelmola, the next village up from Taormina (a much busier resort). Castelmola is very quaint and peaceful, with a small selection of good resturants and bars. We booked a garden cottage within the grounds of the hotel which had wonderful views over Sicily and was well equipped with everything that we needed. The advantage to the cottages were that they were off the beaten track and were very, very peaceful and quiet. The only disadvantage would be the walk up to the hotel and the village which I would not recommend for the elderly or infirm. The pool area is very attractive and never felt crowded even during Mid August when we stayed there.

Traveller's tip
Visit Al Padrino Restaurant close to the hotel. We dined there three times during our week's stay and were made very welcome. The food is fantastic.

“Fantastic hotel”

We have just returned from Villa Sonia & thoroughly recommend this hotel. The staff were really friendly, polite & helpful, the room was beautiful and the hotel is in a beautiful location with fantastic views of Mt Etna. The hotel offers a free courtesy mini bus to Taormina 3 times a day & returning twice a day, which means there are no problems trying to park in Taormina, which can get quite busy. Castelmola, where the hotel is situated is a lovely hill top village with a good selection of restaurants. The dinner in the hotel is also recommended. The breakfast buffet is splendid. We received a complimentary upgrade on our room to a suite & were greeted with a flower arrangement & fruit in the room on our arrival. What a fabulous place!

“Hotel Villa Sonia - vista Etna, con arredamento d'epoca, sopra Taormina”

Personale molto cordiale, efficiente e professionale. Ambiente particolare contraddistinto dall'arrredamento d'epoca (non si finisce mai di scorgere nuovi mobili, quadri, tappeti) e dai numerosi ambienti disponibili per i clienti. Per chi ama visitare è sicuramente conveniente disporre dell'auto dal momento che l'albergo si trova quasi a 500m di altitudine. La sera bella terrazza per la cena con probabile brezza e vista dell'Etna, certa.

“Villa Sonia Castelmola”

Posizonato davvero molto bene. Ottimo per qualche giorno di tranquillo relax.

Area recommendations
Castelmola è piccolissimo. Ma a 5 min di macchina c'è Taormina e facendo ancora 15 min circa il mare, bellissimo, di Letojanni o Giardini Naxos

“Nid d'aigle de charme face à l'Etna”

Excellent en tout point, sauf le petit déjeuner, un peu en dessous des normes constatées au cours de notre voyage dans 3 autres hôtels de Sicile de la même catégorie. Accueil très prévenant Très belles chambres (cat supérieures) avec terrasse donnant sur l'Etna. Navettes très appréciables vers TAORMINA

Traveller's tip
Une bonne alternative, au calme à 3 Km de Taormina.

Area:

Taormina, Italy: A balcony setting on Mount Tauro with a sweeping view of Sicily’s coastline and Mount Etna gives Taormina its lasting appeal. It is Sicily’s only truly international resort, much-favoured by celebrities. The old quarter’s steep, narrow alleys are filled with window boxes and painted pottery, and best explored on foot. Main sights are the classical remains and Renaissance palaces. The Greco-Roman theatre is still used for concerts and festivals.
