Staff was not helpful and friendly besides the breakfast morning crew. The room has a armchair that was so dusty and dirty that made us disgusted with the room. Also, there was a loud construction on the room outside and we could not enjoy our balcony, and prevent us to nap with the noise.

I think this property is one of the nicest in Taormina. The rooftop bar/breakfast room is the best with wonderful food and an extraordinarily beautiful view of Mount Etna. Our room was really lovely with a great view. I will come back there!

Valet parking is a must. No parking anywhere except for residents. Roads were narrow and busy so it’s best to use their valet. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Too bad the roof top bar was closed for evening cocktails the night we went. Such a beautiful night, it would have been perfect.

Friendly staff, beautiful location next to the park and overlooking the sea, the palace, and Mt Etna. Breakfast was lovely and served in the rooftop bar where you could enjoy the view. Perfect location close to the incredible civic gardens and a short walk from the main streets and restaurants.

We really enjoyed our stay. It had kind of an antique feel, but we enjoyed it. The staff was great and so so sweet. The hotel had valet, thank god. I would not feel comfortable parking myself because it’s such a tight area. The location is perfect for shopping and restaurants. We would stay there again! We did see a couple ants near the door, but the room was huge so it wasn’t really a big deal. We did have a problem with the hot water in the shower as well, but we just didn’t mention it to the staff.

The hotel is lovely. It has a top floor roof deck for breakfast and afternoon drinks and nibbles. The view is fabulous, the Taormina park right below us and Mt. Etna and the city all around. The breakfast was great. The room is comfortable. We opted for valet parking because we didn't want to spend time finding parking. The staff is helpful and friendly, especially the roof deck staff.

Great location. Friendly and accommodating staff! Rooftop breakfast was delightful with great view of Mt. Etna. Rooftop also doubles as a bar at night with wonderful views of the city. No parking on site but the hotel will park your car elsewhere for a reasonable $20 Euros per night. Highly recommend this hotel.

This hotel has been owned by the same family for years. Everyone who works here is friendly, efficient and welcoming, from those working at the desk, to the breakfast staff and those who clean the rooms. Many rooms have a wonderful view of Etna. Breakfasts are excellent, and there is a very good minibus service to the beach. We cannot wait to go back.

Lovely little hotel! Great staff—special mention goes to Giuseppe in the bar. The hotel is in the perfect location for a Taormina stay: not right in the centre but close enough to get there with a five minute walk. The rooms are lovely (well, ours was)! Also the breakfasts are to die for; such a wide selection to cater for every taste. I don’t really have any negatives that I can think of.

I have stayed here 3 times, I love this hotel! Staff is genuinely warm and loving. The rooms definitely have a woman’s touch, soft with a clean lines. I try different rooms and the one with the tub that faces the ocean is by far my favorite. There is another one with your own private terrace that is just as beautiful. The breakfast is good. Now my kids have made it to breakfast more than me (I now have the privilege of late mornings), and they love the staff especially one young lady (forget her name) because they make them feel special and respect the independence my kids are trying to acquire. I think that’s what I’m trying to say here, they feel like family. The family you like. You won’t be disappointed at all when you stay here. La Dolce Vita!

We had a wonderful stay at hotel Paradiso. So well located to everything in town, and the views are just amazing. We stayed in the Exclusive Suite with Bathtub and Sea View, and it was just delightful. So spacious and glorious. The rooms have been renovated so we’re very comfy. Staff were also really lovely and helpful

Very nice views from the breakfast room. Very good breakfast choices. (No hot food as far as I could tell) The hallways and staircase are a bit narrow and claustrophobic. The room, we had 336, while nice enough, did not look like in the pictures. No art work, no flowers, no nice little pottery in the bathroom. (Why all this false advertising, people DO notice!) Wooden pallet for putting one's suitcase. Balcony only accommodates one chair and once napkin-size table. I complained about bright reading lights on both sides of the bed, wanted lower wattage bulbs. It did not happen, the knob by which one lowers the light did not make much difference. Bathroom without heat for two days, A nice plumber did come right away, could not bleed the system, but it was done the following day. Overall a pleasant stay though.

We were greeted by a 5th generation owner and treated as honored guests our entire visit. Each morning, we enjoyed a delicious breakfast on the rooftop overlooking beautiful Taormina.we had a delicious dinner one evening on the 6th floor and were entertained by the charming staff and welcomed in. Most stunning, was the view from our room. One day it rained and we spent a long walk outside and then returned to our bathtub suite overlooking Mt. Etna, the sea and the Amphitheater all from my bubble bath. I will always return to Villa Paradiso. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Villa Paradiso is a wonderful hotel in Taormina. The concierge was amazing. She arranged an early checkin and breakfast for us, assisted us with reservations and answered all our questions. The breakfast room has a gorgeous view of Mt. Etna and the food choices were delicious. The hotel is decorated with lovely art pieces in the lobby and the rooms. There are many cafes and shops within walking distance. The public gardens are nearby. Bring your camera for the outstanding views from this hotel.
