    breathtaking view
    outdated decor

    views that stole my heart

    The breathtaking view of Mount Etna greeted us every morning, reminding us of nature's magnificence. The lovely swimming pool was never crowded, making it our happy retreat.

    The room could use a little facelift as some decor felt outdated. we faced delays during breakfast, which detracted from an otherwise lovely experience.

    neglectful staff
    tiny bed

    my 'double room' had a decidedly tiny bed, and the staff were simply neglectful—they made me clean breakfast tables myself. the pool bar only opened in the afternoon, what is that? i almost gave a good review, but just couldn’t when i saw no one offering me a complimentary drink. what a disaster of a stay.

    cute balcony
    kind staff
    stunning views

    villa sonia has a cute balcony that offers stunning views. the swimming pool is a fantastic spot to unwind. it’s conveniently located just over an hour from etna and close enough to the beaches while still allowing for some peace and quiet. the staff, especially one cleaning lady, were incredibly kind and made us feel welcome.

    100% recommend

    value for money
    professional staff

    It was just a decent option for a rapid stop in Taormina with incredible value for money. The reception staff was professional and handled our requests wonderfully. Consider hiking to Taormina for stunning views and a good workout.

    panoramic views
    large pool
    charming atmosphere
    limited breakfast options

    Staying here with my family was incredible! The panoramic views of Mt. Etna are something else, and the large pool area allowed us to relax while the kids played. The short walk to Castelmola was perfect for enjoying its delightful atmosphere and charm.

    My children wanted better breakfast options.

    breakfast issues

    The views of Mount Etna from my balcony were utterly breathtaking! 🌄 The room was spacious with rustic charm. Just one downside, breakfast had limited options—one good croissant doesn't cut it.

    amazing views
    friendly staff
    great location
    mediocre food
    ventilation issues

    villa sonia is a beautifull hotel with amazing views! the location is just perfect, overlooking mounts etna. the staff were super friendly and made our stay even more enjoyable. breakfast on the terrace was a dream with delicious pastries and great coffee. the pool area was chill and a great place to relax.

    the food in the restaurant was kinda hit and miss, and we had some issues with the room's ventilation which made it smell bad at times.

    outdoor pool

    will definitely visit place next time

    Had a blast! The classic double room was super spacious, and I had a private balcony with a view of Mount Etna. The breakfast included fresh pastries and local cheeses, and the outdoor pool was perfect for relaxing. Plus, the free shuttle made it easy to get to Taormina. Staff was always cheerful and helpful, which added to the charm.
