Room 103 had a view of mount etna and we watched it from the balcony during an eruption. What an experience!

The pool area was clean, breakfast was cooked to order, wifi good and parking plentiful.

The only downside is that dinner didn't start until 19:30. That is normal in italy but there was also no where in walking distance to eat. We drove to a lovely pizza shop nearby called salvos because I cannot eat that late.

A fabulous hotel

The ambience of this hotel is excellent. The hotel is well-located with views of Etna. The staffs are exceptionally well-trained, the food reasonably priced and excellent quality. Eating dinner near the pool has to be one of best locations, beautifully set-up with tablecloths, shining glassware, suitable lighting and music. Rooms are sufficiently spacious and spotlessly clean. Decor is older style but suits the nature of the hotel.

Sicilian perfection

A wonderful traditional family-run hotel and restaurant, welcoming to tourists and also well-frequented by local families. Excellent food, wonderful service, a pool area with views of Etna, there was so much to love! A little away from the usual tourist areas, St Maria di Licodia is an ideal location for exploring Etna and travelling into Catania or Taormina though you will need a car. The team at Hotel Ristorante Paradise are very welcoming and genuinely make the effort to ensure you have a wonderful stay.

Hotel Paradise was exceptionally clean and comfortable, and the staff very courteous and friendly.

Both boxes were ticked but the Hotel Paradise was an added bonus

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

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.

A little out of the way so you always end up travelling somewhere but in the summer the pool would be fab and overlooked by an incredible view of Etna. Evening meals superb in quality and value for money - all the staff were very friendly and helpful. Recommended.

Incredibly elegant property at the base of Mt Etna. We had a beautiful view of the steaming mounting from our room. A gorgeous hotel with plush amenities. Breakfast was outstanding and we enjoyed wonderful treats sitting out front on the patio. The staff were incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to help us out with some car trouble we were having. We will definitely be staying here again!

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.

A great hotel for those who want a centrally located hotel to explore Sicily!. Ample private parking, very pleasant, attentive staff and the free use of Wi Fi!. A beautiful pool and private area to relax in!. There was a standard continental breakfast in the mornings that, while always fresh and tasty, tends to run out by about 9am leaving late risers (like me) with no orange juice and few if any bread rolls!. Dinner in the evenings was to die for!. I had 5 dinners at the restaurant over the course of the week i was there and they were excellent, masterfully prepared and presented beautifully!.
The rooms were spacious, with comfortable beds and ample storage!. I have only one minor quibble!. The walls are quite thin so at night every word or deed undertaken in your neighbouring rooms could be heard!. As a light sleeper im glad i took earplugs!. All in all i would be very happy to return to the Paradise Hotel!.

Staff make you feel at home!

So if you don't have a car getting can be abit tricky. We got a two buses from the airport and thought we could walk the rest of the way. Nope that would be dangerous as not pedestrian friendly area! Manuela kindly gave a us a lift and checked us in a bit early as the room was clean. We also felt hungry, kitchen wasn't quite open but she arrange for them to make us salads andmeats which was perfect!! The surroundings were stunning so was disappointed you could not walk outside the hotel due to the likley hood of being squished. Mauela and and the chef Dario helped us arrange a car hire at a good rate. Lovely views of mount etna from the balcony. Room cleaned to a very high standard.Angelo our waiter every evening was funny and service was on point. Sorina the night lady was awesome as well. She gave us lifts to nearby biancavilla if we wanted to go out in the evening and drink. The food was tasty although do not order the currry!! It was totally wrong! Stick to the italian stuff haha. The staff made our stay perfect and would come back because of that! If you dont drive you are stuck at the hotel pretty much. And also our final bill at the end was hard to understand as charges were in italian and it was a struggle to ask questions about it. So an english version would have made things easier. Overall loved out stay and would happily come back.

Hotel is perfect for quiet relaxing holiday.

A sign of a good hotel is the staff and although only a few spoke English, everyone was very welcoming and helpful. The hotel is near a village and the hotel will give you a lift to and from it if you want to explore or dine out.
You do need a car to get anywhere if you plan to sightsee. The hotel is perfect for day trips for the Eastern and Central part of the island. Would suggest a minimum of 1 night stay in Palermo if you want to see the Western side of the island.
Most of the bedrooms give a view of mount Etna and/or the pool and garden.
Breakfast is continental style, with plenty of savoury cakes if you prefer. Meals in the hotel are a touch more expensive than out and about, and offer typical Italian dishes.
Although the hotel will pick up and drop you off at the airport, there is a fee, which is less than half the cost of a taxi.
We wolud stay agian if we visited Sicily again.

Sicily holiday

Mainly great service, especially when I needed to be moved to another room - caused by local dogs barking at 2am most nights!
A few small issues, which if resolved could make this a much better experience:-
1) Buffet breakfast stated to be available at 7am, but staff still putting out food items at 7.30. For example had to wait for 15-30 minutes to put milk on my cereals. Similar every day of my 7 night stay. No hot food.
2) Approximately 50 Italian TV channels, but NO international channels. Not just English, but also French, German, Spanish, etc. ALL MISSING.
3) No coffee or tea making facility in room.

However one of the properties close by owns what would sound like a dog kennels.. The dogs barked on and off through the night which can lead to a broke nights sleep.

Excellent family managed Hotel.

The hosts at Hotel Ristorante Paradise were wonderful to us during our stay. It is family managed Hotel and they are genuinely motivated to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. Manuela went out of her way to call an agriturismo in another town to arrange transportation from the airport for the sister of one of our party to their, not Hotel Paradise's, location. The Hotel and grounds are very stylish. The service and cleanliness could not have been better.

The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The location is good and the views are fantastic of mount etna. It's advisable and cheaper to rent a car to get around. Sergio and his daughter were fantastic and helpful with questions. We will go there again and recommend to others.

Long weekend in sicily

From the moment we arrived we were impressed with this hotel. The building is beautiful with well maintained gardens at the front, an imposing entrance with a lovely terrace. We stayed 4 nights and ate in the resta for3 of those as the food is amazing and the ambience and service also excellent. Our room was spacious and clean with large comfortable bed. The bathroom was large and well decorated with a powerful shower and lots of thick towels. The only part which we were a little disappointed with was the surrounding area which is a little run down and is obviously in the throes of redevelopment. We had hired a car so we travelled quite a bit. There is much to see in the area including Etna of which we had a great view from our balcony. We understand that there is a metro fairly nearby which gives access to the city of Catania however we did not use it. All in all we had a fabulous stay at the paradise and soul definitely stay again.

Very nice hotel in quiet area.

This is a friendly family run hotel with parents, 2/3 sons and one daughter (the only person who spoke English). Check-in was simple and fast -- passport was the only requirement. As a group, consisting of two mature couples, we stayed here for five nights. Location was perfect for the Etna visit and even Catania Centre and Catania Airport were only about 30-40 minutes drive. For a four star hotel the value for money was excellent and we eat in the restaurant for four of the five evenings. The dinner menu had a reasonable selection of meat, fish and other dishes and a large selection of Pizzas. Menu perfectly adequate unless you were staying longer that a week or so. The buffet breakfast was adequate but quite restrictive, especially as the days went on.

Classy Hotel!

The hotel is the best in this area, and the hotel staff are truly amazing and will do everything they can to make you comfortable during your stay. Also, this hotel is probably the best situated in terms of close to all the best places such as Catania, Etna, Taormina, Agrigento, Scala Dei Turchi and more! The price is amazing for the standard of the hotel. What made me more in love with this hotel is the story behind, how it got to where it is today. It began as a restaurant and then the owners developed it into a hotel, and they have done a remarkable job.

Avoid this Hotel

I would not recommend this hotel. On our check in, we were advised there was a wedding and that we would not be able to use the pool as a result, this on a day where it was 36 degrees. We were not advised that the whole hotel was taken by the wedding party and was surprised that we were not advised that we would be constrained to rconsidering I contacted the hotel three days before check in. Staff was very rude and refused to refund us.
You are best to select linguagloassa as a base for your Mount Etna excursion.

Best Hotel with Etna view and Superb Hospitality

We travelled for the last two weeks of August 2015 touring Sicily and stayed here for 3 nights (23 Aug 2015 - 26 Aug 2015). It was the best hotel we stayed in for the whole duration and far better than Grand Palace Hotel in Marsala which was a disappointment given that it is a 5 Star place. The hotel is neat and very tidy. There is not the slightest sign of wear and tear anywhere. It is obvious that management take great pride in their establishment and it is immediately apparent as the rooms are well laid out and beautifully designed. The staff were VERY friendly and extremely helpful. Will be going there again very soon!!
