We’ve just spent wonderful five days at this beautiful hotel. I have travelled extensively throughout my life, and believe me, you can always tell if the team at a property takes pride in their work and feels well respected. Each and everybody at the Villa Schuler is top notch. Service is very personal and genuinely friendly, but never obtrusive. The property itself with its beautiful gardens is impeccably maintained and has charm and ambience. We had a junior suite with a private terrace and sweeping views of the Ionian sea. I don’t understand why some reviewers point out a lack of modern amenities: Our suite had a refrigerator, air conditioning, TV and wifi. That’s modern enough for me. One of my personal daily enjoyments was the à la carte breakfast on the hotel’s terrace. The price is currently 22 Euros, and again, I don’t see why some reviewers would criticize the value: You can order as much as you like from an extensive menu of foods and drinks, mostly locally sourced. If a big breakfast is not your thing, just don’t book it. The front desk also arranges transportation and excursions for guests per request. We booked transportation to and from Catania Airport as well as a private Etna tour with wine tasting lunch. Both were excellent experiences with very personable and professional drivers/guide. I can highly recommend this hotel and hope to be back in the future.
