Reviews for Hotel Villa Paradiso dell'Etna
Review 1：Too far from other restaurants, and street was too busy to go for a work.
Review 2：Nice view of Etna from our room, and the breakfast room. Pool was nice although none too clean.
Review 3：The location,, in an area now overbuilt with scruffy housing and giant shopping centres. The lack of a proper working restaurant. The dismal breakfast. The traffic noise
Review 4：The rooms , fittings and decoration,, done to a high standard - if many years ago. The gentleman at the front desk
Review 5：Noisy disco our first night until 4 am so no sleep Noisy disco and birthday party second night made dining unpleasant as we were next door and couldn't hear ourselves speak and again kept awake until disco stopped at after midnight . The management eventually agreed to only charge us for breakfast on the night we had no sleep. A further downside of the location is that though the hotel is in lovely grounds it is situated in a built up area on a busy road and there are no other restaurants within an easy walk. We would have eaten out the second night but didn't want to drive in the dark . I would say this hotel is probably much better to stay in in the summer months as they also have a pizza restaurant in the garden .
Review 6：Lovely view of mount Etna and bedroom very cimfotablr
Review 7：Main restaurant a little disappointing - expensive but not great
Review 8：Found our camera in room after we'd left - contacted us, sent it back - great service!!! Design & ambience of original 1920s hotel has been sympathetically brought up to date - faded glamour, really atmospheric Lovely swimming pool Great pizzas Good breakfast on rooftop
Review 9：We weren't completely sure of services the hotel offered so we purchased our own drinks to have poolside. We then noticed others ordering drinks however the staff did not seem to mind that we had taken our own beer and snacks. The main restaurant appeared under utilised. We would have liked to have dined there and perhaps they should offer a menu other then the five course set one.
Review 10：This is a beautiful old building and worth a visit. I booked for our first four days in Sicily for easy access to mt etna, Taormina and Catania. It was well located for all of these as very easy day excursions. The building itself needs a little maintenance but this only added to its charm in our view. The main restaurant was very expensive for our family as it only offered a set menu however the pizzeria was fantastic especially when they set the tables up around the pool. The pool was fabulous, our kids loved it. The gym no longer existed but this was only a minor issue. Our suite was very charming with two small balconies facing the mountain. I would definately stay again and recommend.
Review 11：live music in the weekend, way too loud service from the pool bar is rather limited
Review 12：lovely garden, suite wonderfull decorated the senior receptionist is the best
Review 13：Lovely hotel, well situated for exploring Mount Etna & the area. Evening meals were superb.
Review 14：no where to eat, drink, shop nearby at all unless you have a car, difficult to walk anywhere as no sidewalk
Review 15：the hotel had a fabulous faded charm about it, and the gardens were lovely and relaxing
Review 16：The restaurant was too cold and didn't have any heaters on. The bathroom should be a bit more cleaner and modern.
Review 17：I liked the food,the room was comfortable. Also the staff are really friendly.
Review 18：The only thing I need to mention unfortunately is the disco party held on saturday night with very loud music which had us awake till it ended which was at 3am :(( as for the rest of it all was good.
Review 19：Only the fact that it's very difficult to have telephone connection, and for business it's a problem
Review 20：The location, The view from the breakfast room, the style of the bedroom.
Review 21：Cena
