Cefalu is expensive. I don't quite understand why as the charm of the place never really hit me. We booked in here at the last minute after running as fast as possible from a hideous B&B in the town centre. to drive in to the shaded parking area, and be greeted in faultless english by the charming receptionist was heaven.... more

Our hotel in Segesta referred us to the Paradiso in Cefalu and we felt fortunate to have stayed there in early December 2008. We were offered a low season rate of 90 euros and on top of that received an upgrade to a superior room. This is a place we could never have afforded in high season, but the low... more

A shuttle bus is available to take you into the old town centre and to the private beach which has plenty of sun beds and parasols. Food is what you would expect in a 4 star hotel. more

We felt quite mixed about our stay at this hotel. We were a party of 3, and we booked a "deluxe" triple. Pros -There is a beautiful private beach available. The hotel shuttle takes you there, and we all felt it was one of the cleanest and most beautiful beaches we've been on in Europe. -Cefalu is a wonderful town... more

We stayed at the Alberi del Paradiso for just 2 nights and wished we'd booked more. The staff provided the best service I've experienced in a hotel, all in a relaxed friendly atmosphere that was in keeping with the place. It's a hotel where you can relax totally, the staff no how to be get the balance of being friendly... more
