This is a typically Italian, family run, very clean, friendly, family hotel, with amazing views. The location is excellent, although not easy to find at first, with car parking just around the corner. You need to budget additional money for the garaging. We didn't try the restaurant upstairs, only because there were so many other restaurants close by, but breakfast... More

Large room, friendly and excellent service, a room with etna and sea view is worth the extra investment. Great location. More

Ths hotel is in my opinion by no means a 4*. I think it has been given this rating due to the wonderful views of Mount Etna from the breakfast/dining room and the daily shuttle bus to the Paradiso Beach Resort which is excellent. The actual hotel is tired, dated, dull and full of too much old furtniture. The air... More

My stay at Villa Paradiso and the Paradise Beach Club couldn't have been better. The owner was super courteous, the staff was amazing and I had an incredible view of Taormina from my terrace. The quality/value of this hotel is superb. Service is great, staff was awesome and welcoming. Villa Paradiso has also a great restaurant and very authentic Italian... More

Don't stay in this hotel. Although it looks charming in pictures and has a good location, the owners are rude, only care about getting your money and don't have a clue how to run a hotel. It started out with our requesting a non-smoking room and being put in a smoking room with air freshner sprayed to cover it up,... More

Terribly rude owner/manager. whenever i was at reception complaining there were other people, also complaining. the shuttle bus service to the beach is inadequate. the rooms are old and dated. the towels in the bathroom must be about 10 years old. the hotel doesnt serve lunch. the staff seem fed up (probably due to all the complaints from guests). this...

This hotel is advertised as 4 star and it may have been in 1970 when it was last decorated and the towels were last changed, however now I would rate this as 3 star at a push. On arrival after a 10 minute wait at reception whilst the receptionist chose to make a phone call rather than deal with us,... More

I know European star ratings can be somewhat lower than say UK, US or Australian, but this was the equivalent of 2 star hotels I have stayed in when travelling in Europe. As many others here have said the rooms are dark, I was only given one small lamp to light the entire room, the walls are thin, the bathroom... More

When you FINALLY find this hotel, you won't want to leave. Please pay attention to the directions the hotel will send you after you make the resevation. DO NOT trust your GPS, which will take you to that address in the wrong town... But once you find the Villa Paradiso, you will love it. Great room in a beautiful old... More
