What a beautiful and very stylish Hotel. I truly recommend Hotel Villa Sonia to anyone wanting a wonderful holiday in this region. We (my husband and our two children aged 10 and 7) had such a lovely stay. Away from the hectic life of Taormina (only 7 minutes by car)and Giardini (which around this time are always full with tourists,... more

We stayed here last week - middle of August on a B&B basis but ate at the hotel on 2 nights. The hotel is in Castelmola which is a good 15 - 20 minute bus ride out of the centre of Taormina up a series of hairpin bends. OK if you have the older bus driver - not so good... more

We were advised in the brochure and by fellow Trip Advisor users that the hotel was popular for local weddings which took precedence over guests when this was the case. There was a wedding on the day of our arrival which meant a lengthy wait between courses for our evening meal. This wait was halved on other occasions though. The... more

Have to admit that for the view alone its impressive. Its hard to say whats not right but there are many minor things wrong that made its a good stay but feels it has alot more to offer. Keep in mind that this place is popular for local weddings which do look impressive but the downside is that the food... more

Recently stayed here and agree with reviewers that an Etna view room is essential, there is little point staying here otherwise. The highlight for me other than the view is the swimming pool. Perfect temperature when I visited in June, soft water and little chemicals but still very clean. The food at lunchtime was OK but the service could be... more

Villa Sonia was a bit of a disappointment, whilst undeniably very clean, and with a fabulous view of Mount Etna – that is if you are not in a standard room where instead you will get revving mopeds on the road at all hours (not helped by being on a hill), a view of a car park being erected and... more

We stayed for a week last year and had such a nice time we returned this June. The Hotel is a lovely place to stay, staff are friendly, particularly Jay at the pool and Adriana on Reception. The Restaurant is excellent if a little "querky" at times, not a problem but more entertaining when the service is not what you... more

First impressions of the hotel were not good, our double room was a twin with a balcony overlooking the road which was opposite a building site. Two rooms later, we had what we had asked for. Our travel rep was most helpful and did his utmost in sorting the situation and the hotel offered us a complimentary dinner. The best... more

As there are no reviews so far for 2008, I thought it appropriate to say that Villa Sonia proved to be the delight we had hoped for. The Superior Etna View rooms were well worth the money. Although dated, in a wonderfully Italian way, the whole hotel makes a great change from the current "Hip Hotel" style. Breakfast was well... more
