A nice hotel family owned and on site 20 hrs a day. The food is good and you are treated like royalty. The breakfast is awesome! The beds are comfortable and clean! The view of Mt Etna is right outside of the back of the hotel and our room. After 4 nights it felt like home.

We didn't like the breakfast set-up: No buffet breakfast, you have to order your breakfast the day before. Everything came at once to the table and the missing toast took 15 minutes to arrive.

we got hot breakfast
We stayed here overnight, the place is like a palace especially the facade and staffs are very helpful. We also tried their restaurants (burgers delicious). Wifi is kind of spotty but overall clean room and bathroom spacious with all necessities available. They asked us what we want for breakfast which was nice so scrambled eggs, omelette and corneti.

We were there in early November and, maybe it was due to it being the off season, service at dinner was very slow (the restaurant was nearly empty). The hotel itself is in good condition, but the neighborhood is rather blighted.

Hotel Paradise was exceptionally clean and comfortable, and the staff very courteous and friendly. My wife and I picked the location for the convenience of touring Mount Etna on our last full day of a 2-week driving holiday throughout Sicily - Plus easy access for our early-morning flight departure from Catania airport. Both boxes were ticked but the Hotel Paradise was an added bonus

Nice place near Mount Etna.
Very nice place. A little remote, but if you’re lucky, you can see Mount Etna glowing at night! Staff was terrific, very friendly and attentive. Service in the dining room was a bit slow at dinner, but there’s not much else to do nearby, so relax and enjoy.

Dear Paul, thank you for this review. We are glad to read that you enjoyed yor stay here. We would like to point out that our structure is strategically positioned: far from the caos of the city but close to the most important turistic poles of Sicily. Catania, for example, is at just 25 minutes from here, and in Catania there are a lot of activities to do and places to see! We hope that you'll come here again as our kind guests, regards.

Lovely hotel with special staff
This place is clean,modern and intimate. It’s only has a few rooms. I enjoyed this hotel. The staff seem keen to go the extra mile. The pool has a direct view of Mount Etna. All in all it’s a great hotel. I must mention something I overheard whilst waiting at reception. The manager was giving directions to somebody lost and in the end she said she was going to go and personally collect them in her car. I mean that’s seriously going the extra mile!!! The same manager is really good at her job. We had a few minor issues which she sorted immediatley and is definitely the right person for the job. All the staff make this place special

Old style luxury hotel with large opulent dining area and foyer. Very old style furniture and wall treatments. Beautiful pool ares But: the shower is too small to allow washing of your feet. The hot water ran out in the shower, the restaurant was overwhelmed and forgot to place our order, with food arriving at 10:45 PM when I was too tired to eat. NB: I thought this was a good choice of hotel near the. airport, but it is a 25 minute drive away without any traffic

Dear Mrs Jeanne, as we were saying Saturday night, we are really sorry that you had to wait to have your dinner. We hope you enjoyed it anyway. We could not figure out which shower in the pool you were referring to to wash your feet, also because due to the weather not exactly spring, the pool is unfortunately still closed. For sure we are not exactly next to the airport, but often customers choose us because from the city center, to go to the airport, it takes well over 25 minutes! We hope you enjoyed our structure anyway. Sincerely

Our room was ready when we arrived and freshened everyday during our week long stay. The breakfast was great, with a variety of foods. We really enjoyed the hotel atmosphere and that of the restaurant, as well as the food. Our room had 2 balconies and a beautiful view. There is also parking on the property.

The overall feel of the hotel was lovely. It was very clean and the room smelled lovely. The food in the restaurant was exceptional - I would not normally eat so often in the same place but we ate their most nights not just because it was convenient but because it was so good and reasonably priced. Good parking at the hotel. Very friendly staff - limited English but this really didn't matter.

Highly recommend !
A warm and cozy boutique hotel with a well-kept garden and a swimming pool. A charming and courteous staff. The hotel is very clean and the room is cleaned daily. Great breakfasts, the hotel has a restaurant where you can eat real Italian food at a fair price! We landed at 8:00 am and received the room at 10:00 (although we did not send a request in advance). The hotel is located between two small towns about 30 km west of the north of Catania, so a rental car is mandatory. Excellent location for a star trip in the eastern part of Sicily. highly recommend.
