Hotel Villa Paradiso dell'Etna

A lovely hotel with a slightly faded grandeur that adds to its charm. Gorgeous grounds & pool area & the building & surroundings are very pretty. The bedroom was comfortable & immaculate with an amazing view of Etna from the balcony. The breakfast room also has a panoramic view of Etna. Perfect for a 2 night stay to visit Etna South (20 min drive) and Benanti vineyard (5 min drive) both of which are highly recommended. Helpful & friendly staff too.

Very nice and stylish hotel on a very good level. Nice designed rooms and good bathroom. Wonderful garden with big pool. Pricewise a really good deal.

I bern invited here for a family dinner, the place it can better if the spend money for refurbisment. Im Not sure who cook for us but the food was really bad, uncooked or overcook i cant even know what should say even fruit and appetizer were really bad. Wine so cheap and drinks very warm.

Our family of 5 stayed for 2 nights while we visited the Mount Etna/Catania area and we loved it. Despite being the only English speaking guests (which was nice) the hosts were attentive in every way. The breakfast bar, located on the roof with a lovely view, was adequate but nothing special. The pool area is large and there were recliners for everybody (thank you). Adjacent to the pool was a lovely eating area with moderately priced lunch items. This hotel seems very well suited for a wedding or large event. Plenty of private spaces to walk around and large areas for parties. Internet speed and access could be improved, though good enough for email. The rooms were cleverly furnished is an old fashion motif and compact. The entire place was clean and very well kept. If you're visiting Mount Etna but want to also be close to Catania (and have kids), this is a great place. Another feature we loved is the very close proximity to a large modern interior shopping mall. At only 2 km away, it was very convenient.

We were very pleasantly surprised by the hotel. As you enter the gates you cannot fail to be impressed with the sight that awaits you. The gardens wrap around the hotel and provide quiet secluded corners with plenty of seating. The pool is an added bonus. The rooms were delightful, such a change from the clean cut lines and furniture of modern hotels. it all added to the holiday experience.

Efficient check in. Restaurant only had set menu at about €35- didn't look very good and as we had no car we had quite a walk to a shopping centre about 1.5 k's on a very narrow road which was too dangerous to walk at night due to traffic. Pool area and bedroom very clean and comfortable. View of Mt Etna was lovely. Breakfast was ok, but very little fresh food - pre bought cakes and pastries were there throughout our stay - not renewed. A function was held throughout the grounds making it unusable for guests. This would have been ok except we were not forewarned. We could have made plans to go elsewhere if we had known. Still, it was very reasonably priced! Advice: if you stay here make sure you have a car!

Good choice for trips to Etna, but be aware that it is effectively in the middle of nowhere (an area full of shopping centers and malls)

Charming hotel built at the beginning of the last century, and furnished with antiques. Free parking, quick checkin, and friendly staff. Good location if you're coming from/going to the airport, sightseeing Mt. Etna, or shopping in Taormina. The included breakfast was ok but nothing to write home about, but it's all made up by the beautiful breakfast area on the rooftop. There are also various spacious reading rooms, and not least of all, free WiFi everywhere.

We had a couple of nights here in order to see Mt Etna so it was a perfect location. It was very pleasant to sit round the pool in the afternoon, although make sure you have insect repellant, and dinner in the hotel was very good. The staff were very helpful and friendly.
