We had a wonderful time at this home away from home. The staff were the most welcoming and warm that we have ever encountered, and showed superb hospitality at every aspect of our stay. The hotel was also very accommodating to celiac disease/gluten free diet, along with delicious food otherwise! Could not recommend Hotel Villa Ducale more!
