Dear Guests,
We are managing our Hotel Villa Schuler, the oldest owner-managed hotel in Sicily, now in the 4th generation, with love and passion.
We could not do this without our wonderful staff. So may we introduce you our team members, most of them with us since many years and each keen on making you feel as comfortable as possible during your stay at Hotel Villa Schuler.
Christine, Gerhard and Andrea Schuler
The Reception
CLAUDIA is our Sales and Marketing Manager and Assistant General Manager since the beginning of 2022. Born in Belgium, she brings with her a solid education in hotel management and more than 5 years of experience, most recently as Reservations Manager in a prestigious 5-star hotel in Bruges. Having previously worked as a tour guide in Sicily for 3 years, it was her great desire to come back to Sicily. She speaks 6 languages fluently and loves the international spirit that is lived in Villa Schuler, Taormina and large parts of Sicily.
ДЖУЛИЯ это наш секретарь по направлениям и руководитель бухгалтерии. С нами на протяжении многих лет, внесла большой вклад в успешное развитие отеля. Привлекательная по природе, она исполняет свою роль надежно и точно. Ее мать — немка, в то время как отец — сицилиец. Она говорит на итальянском, английском, немецком и французском языках.
MARIANGELA is reinforcing our reception team since July 2022. With many years of experience as a manager of the restaurant and as an assistant events manager in a well-known 5 star hotel in Taormina, she was looking for a new professional challenge and found it at Villa Schuler. We are very happy about the new employee, who enriches our team with her great friendliness, reliability and calmness and with her good knowledge of English and Spanish.
SIMONA is one of our new Receptionist Secretaries, starting with the season 2022. Before joining us, she gained excellent experience in prestigious 5 star hotels. We are sure that thanks to her reliable, open and cordial character, she will very quickly fit into our team. She speaks Italian, English and French and is highly passionate about her profession.
ELENA joined our reception team in April 2022. Elena brings with her the very best qualifications. Born in Taormina, she grew up in her parents’ hotel business and later managed it for more than 6 years. Now mother of two small children, she has decided to continue her professional career at Villa Schuler. In addition to Italian, Elena speaks fluent English and German. Her professionalism and her gentle, welcoming manner have inspired the entire team from the very beginning.
KAREN has been working with us as a receptionist for 13 years. Now she decided to devote more time to her family. However, she will remain connected to the Hotel Villa Schuler and will occasionally substitute for her former colleagues during their vacations. We are very happy about this. Born and raised in Belgium, she speaks Italian, German, English, French and Flemish. Before joining us, she worked as a tour guide all over the world and in Sicily.
The Breakfast team
ROSARIA works at Hotel Villa Schuler since 2006. Cooking has always been her passion, so with the season 2017 she switched from the housekeeping crew to the breakfast kitchen crew. Born in Sicily she is blessed with a most cheerful character. While working hard she never loses her wonderful camaraderie nor her contagious smile.
LUCA has joined us since the 2022 season. He recently graduated from the hotel management school „Istituto Professionale Alberghiero Giovanni Falcone» and is now continuing his training here at Villa Schuler in the breakfast and service team. He is gentle, polite and attentive, and immediately won the hearts of his colleagues. Born in Taormina, his mother tongue is Italian. He owes his good English, among others, to his love for English-language music. In his basketball team he plays as «small forward». Versatility and speed are among the special qualities of a «small forward».
Bar, Valet & Night Service
МАРКО является самым молодым сотрудником из числа нашего персонала и отвечает за обслуживание в баре. Говорит на итальянском, английском и немецком языках (который он узнал от своей немецкой бабушки) и является одним из самых увлеченных барменов во всем глубоком и широком пространстве. Попробуйте его «Apple Passion» или попросите его сделать вам сюрприз и приготовить персональный коктейль.
CHRISTIAN has been part of our team since the 2021 season. Born in Taormina to a Sicilian father and a Swedish mother, he looked beyond his native Sicily at an early age. He speaks fluent Italian and English and a little Swedish. Stockholm, Helsinki, London and Malta are among the stations of his professional life so far in renowned hotels and restaurants. Polite and attentive, quick and composed, he never loses the overview.
ЛУИДЖИ это наш ночной портье с 2001 года. Его спокойствие и дипломатичность, хорошее знание итальянского, немецкого и английского языков обнадеживают при необходимости связаться в течение ночи. В случае выезда или запланированных на раннее утро экскурсий он всегда позаботится о том, чтобы подготовить завтрак для наших гостей.

CRISTINA is our youngest team member. After some previous experiences in the tourist industry, with the season 2019 she started a training as a housekeeping staff member at Villa Schuler. Serene, friendly and determined to match the skill level of her collegues as soon as possible, she has been immediately warmly welcomed by the entire Villa Schuler team.
СТЕФАНИЯ присоединилась к нашей команде в 2016 году и отвечает за обслуживание в прачечной, услуги которой полностью осуществляются в отеле. Благодаря опыту работы в отелях категории люкс, профессиональным и личным качествам, она прекрасно влилась в нашу команду и как никто другой знает, какой непередаваемый аромат имеют простыни, высушенные под жарким сицилийским солнцем.
Housetec & Garden

FRANCESCA is our new gardener since the 2022 season, succeeding our legendary gardener Pippo, who has decided to retire, but not without initiating Francesca into the secrets of this special garden that he cared for with passion for many years. He has passed on his valuable knowledge to Francesca with pride and joy.
