Villa Daphne

This hotel was beyond all expectations. We arrived late and hungry, they fed us quickly and happily; all the staff were amazing. We were made to feel like family coming for a visit. The rooms were clean, the beds were comfortable and the vibe was family. This stop was the last three days of our vacation and it rained two of those days. When we ventured out to take the bus (around the corner) to Taormina. the day was overcast. The raining days we stayed in, played cards in the lobby, spoke with the owners and the staff like family. Never felt like this before in a hotel. It was like home. Meals served in the dining room were delicious. If there were more than five stars, I would give them to this hotel.

The warmest welcome ever. Just returned from a wonderful stay at Villa Daphne. The staff are so welcoming and helpful, they couldn’t have done more for us. Special mention goes to Claudia on Reception, she really is a Ray of sunshine. We only had B&B so I can’t comment on meals apart from breakfast which was excellent. A really nice hot and cold buffet. Will definitely stay here again.

Wonderful warm welcome Very pleasant stay, hotel room was a bit dated. Wonderful staff at this hotel from the warm welcome from the young lady on reception who had a brilliant smile to the waiters at dinner time. Will definitely use this hotel again.

VERY POSITIVE EXPERIENCE Had a lovely stay. Staff were very helpful with generous breakfast. Hotel close to bus stop which was brilliant as it makes it wasy to move around

What an amazing hotel. Literally can't fault this place. It's everything you can ask for when looking for somewhere to stay. Probably our favourite hotel I've stayed in. There are two free parking spaces outside the hotel but you have to be lucky to get them which fortunately we were lucky every time to get one. Rooms are spacious, lovely bathroom. Very clean and also gets cleaned daily. There's a mini fridge with refreshments, (with a charge obviously) but it's reasonable. We had a street facing room with a balcony, but wasn't noisy at all. Breakfast was nice with a wide range of choices. And the pool area is nice and clean, although we didn't use the pool as we're beach people. You can sit outside too whenever if you want to have a drink during the day or evening and the bar also does food as well as drink. The beach is not far at all, within walking distance of the hotel, maybe a 10-15 min walk and there are bars and restaurants along the way as well as small a supermarket too. The bus stop is a 10 second walk from the hotel, which is very easy to get the bus to Taormina and back, or wherever you'd like to go. The staff are lovely and helpful, but I want to say a big thank you to Claudia on reception. What a genuine, lovely lady. Always smiling, always willing to help you and have a chat and give you advice and recommendations. Anything you need, ask Claudia, she is superb. Grazie Hotel Villa Daphne, we will be returning :) (Stanza 214)
