Frommer's Review
This restored old villa is a charming and romantic choice. Villa Ducale sits on a hillside, a 10-minute walk up from the center, in the quiet hamlet of Madonna della Rocca (midway between the heart of the resort and high-altitude Castelmola). It boasts magnificent views of the Mediterranean, the town, and Mount Etna. Each guest room has a veranda, terra-cotta floors, wrought-iron beds, and a compact bathroom with a tub/shower combination. The service is warm and helpful. Breakfast is usually served on an outdoor terrace with a gorgeous view.
Facilities:
Lounge; Jacuzzi; shuttle service to the beach; 24-hr. room service; laundry service

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
