A fab small & friendly hotel, great location

One of the best small hotels that I have stayed at. The location was excellent, bus stop down the road to take you into Taormina and only a 15 min walk to local shops and restaurants. All of the staff were so helpful and friendly and made our stay so very enjoyable. Hotel was spotless and breakfast good and plentiful. Would love to do a return visit. Thank you to all of the fantastic hardworking staff.

Excellent staff - but take your own kettle!

Villa Daphne was excellent with very helpful staff who all spoke good English. However, no tea/coffee making facilities in room so we took our own travel kettle and tea bags! Choice at breakfast good, but not the best we’ve had. Handy if you don’t want to hire a car, as only a matter of yards from the Recanati bus terminal, with connections to Taormina and beyond as well as the airport bus.

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.

Hotel Daphne appeal is its small size. This allows the staff to be more personal. The receptionist Claudia was very helpful and welcoming. One minor improvement for me would be bottles of water in the bedroom and tea/coffee making facility.

We have just returned from a 9 night stay and highly recommend Villa Daphne Hotel. We really enjoyed the breakfast and delicious pastries, relaxing and peaceful days by the pool and dinner at the hotel the last two nights. The hotel is extremely clean and the staff are a huge asset, with special thanks to Claudia, Azzura and Vincentzo. The bus stop is 1 min walk from the hotel which is really handy for the airport (€5.90pp). You can also catch the bus to Taormina (€3 return pp) but we found it a bit unreliable. You need an FFP2 mask on the buses.

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)

Schönes Hotel mit sehr nettem Personal, nahe zum Strand und in die Stadt (ca 10 Minuten zu Fuß). Sehr schöner Poolbereich, Balkon mit Blick zum Ätna, Parkmöglichkeiten auf der Straße, aber es wäre auch eine Garage vorhanden, die wir nur zum Fahrradunterstellen genutzt haben. Frühstück hatte alles, was man braucht. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und können dieses nette Hotel uneingeschränkt empfehlen.
