“Romantic and peaceful”

The setting was beautiful, the staff very helpful. One complaint...we waited in the hot sun almost 15 minutes for the shuttle to pick us up from the town to take us back to the hotel. It would be nice if they chose a better meeting place, ie, one with seating and shade! Also though the dining room is very elegant, for a light lunch it is very expensive. Still, we would stay there again.

“Great hotel for a relaxing stay in Cefalu”

My bride and I spent a couple of days here during our honeymoon. It was one of the best segments of our trip. It has a private beach area which can be reached by shuttle or a 20 minute walk from the hotel. The hotel grounds include a nice pool, and great gardens with lots of orange/lemon trees. The desk staff was very friendly and helpful, and the buffet breakfast was also among the best of the trip. We actually had half board rate, so dinners were also included which we enjoyed. The menu changed every evening and the options were very interesting. But, if we had not already paid for the dinners we would have probably been looking for less expensive options. The hotel is just a bit out of the dense part of the town which is a blessing if you are driving there. We much prefered leaving the car at the hotel and walking to the historic areas of cefalu.

“Beautiful Hotel”

This hotel had excellent staff and facilities. However it's location wasn't prime - not on the beach. They provide a shuttle service to town and the beach, however this is quite limited. Otherwise the pool is an excellent option.

“Would stay here again!”

Very nice hotel. Good typical breakfast with outdoor dining/sea views. Free shuttle bus into town or beach. Ample free parking. English speaking staff.

“Visited First Week of October 2009”

I stayed at the Hotel Alberi del Paradiso with my girlfriend the first week of October 2009. We had a great time in Cefalu and really enjoyed our stay in the hotel. The front desk staff was great, our room was very nice - top floor, corner room with fabulous views of the town of Cefalu, the ocean, and La Rocca. The hotel is about 1 mile uphill from the town center, so is a lengthy walk, but the hotel runs a shuttle bus roughly every hour that makes a drop at the town center or their private section of the main beach. We used the shuttle on numerous occasions and it worked great. The hotel also has very nice grounds, including a tennis court, swimming pool, and nicely landscaped areas. We only had breakfast in the hotel, and that was very good as well with first class service. I would highly recommend the hotel to anyone.

“Great hotel in Cefalu”

The staff was outstanding, and very helpful. The only issue is needing to take a shuttle to the center of town and to the beach. It was very convenient, just needed to plan around it...

“Hard to find but worth it!”

Paradiso is a beautiful little hotel in the town of Cefalu, Italy. It is nested on the hill overlooking the town and the roads leading to it are narrow and winding -hnece the hotel is hard to locate. The Hotel has recently been renovated and is in top shape. The staff manage well enough in English to give comfort to those of us whose Italian is decidedly weak. The only negative is the cost of the evening meal but, of course, one can always take advantage of other eating establishments in the town. Breakfast, on the other hand, was excellent and even featured fresh, squeeze-your-own orange juice.

“Perfect escape”

Very comfortable little hotel with beautiful interior and nice view. The rooms are small but sweet. It's quick some walk from the train station and even more walk from the town center but is clost to the beach. The restaurant is a bit costy but the food is more "refined" than most other tourist restaurants

“Sleek, sophisticated and welcoming!”

Sophisticated hotel, lovely gardens, a good 15 minute walk to town. Very clean and very cool rooms.

“Fine Hotel in Taoromina”

Nice hotel. Friendly folks. We had a very nice room with a great view .
