Alberi Del Paradiso  

Helpful staff, clean, pictures/description on website a good representation of quality of room etc.

Location is well away from centre of town, and although shuttle bus is available, it is relatively infrequent (every 2 hrs) - more options post breakfast, late afternoon & evening would be good.

Beautiful Facility, Exceptional Breakfast. Perfect in every way - except sleep quality.

Bed was very hard with flat pillows, Walls were paper thin - we heard our neighbor snoring for two nights, State of the art Fan, Heat, ac system is turned off - my guess is to save money to off set the discounted off season rates. The room was so hot, we called at least 15 times in 2 days and every time they told us wait 10 minutes. Absolutely miserable to sleep and impossible to leave the windows open at night without screens.

Friendly staff, good bus service into town and a very good breakfast.

Location is a bit out of town which isn't ideal but this is the case for most hotels in Cefalu. Bus service makes up for this.

The hotel was very attractive with pleasant grounds and garden. The staff were helpful. The restaurant was very good, excellent evening meal and breakfast. The room was large, attractive and comfortable with a good view of the town and the sea. It was quiet at night. The shuttle bus to town was useful.

Not a very pretty walk into town, and the shuttle bus didn't run very often.

Staff were excellent, food very good, ambience delightful.

Bed was rather hard!

The location of the hotel although a little way out of the town and beach was very tranquil and peaceful. A very efficient shuttle service was provided to the beach and town, walking is possible but the climb back uphill may deter some. The views are lovely looking out across the sea both from many of the rooms and the terrace where meals/drinks are served. The staff were absolutely wonderful in all areas of the hotel, some of the best I have encountered. The hotel itself is charming with a family run intimate feel. Cefalu is a beautiful place to stay, the beach and town are stunning with lots of good restaurants and shops. It is a lot cheaper than Taormina although further from Etna,etc.

The breakfast was fine with a varied choice of food but lunch/dinner was not as good. We ate out the majority of the time in some excellent and reasonably priced restaurants in Cefalu.

Very relaxing, comfortable place to stay. We were welcomed with a nice glass of bubbly upon arrival (and announcing our honeymoon). The hotel staff were welcoming and very attentive to everyone's needs. Also the food was excellent!

We had a slight miss-communication with one of our package activities that we inquired about, but this didn't affect us too negatively in any way.

The hotel is in a quiet location about one mile from the beach, to which the hotel provides a shuttle service about once an hour. The rooms are spacious, but fairly bare and ordinary. The best thing about the hotel is the restaurant. The breakfast buffet is one of the best I have ever experienced, with delicious local products and fruit. Dinner is also very good and is served outside on a quiet terrace. The restaurant staff are all courteous, friendly and efficient. I was sorry that I had not booked half board!

The rooms were cleaned at widely varying times of days. On Sunday morning the chambermaid wanted to come in before 9 a.m., some other days the room was not cleaned until 5 p.m. or later. This sometimes caused inconvenience.

Tennis court, view, room and service were very good.

It is situated outside the centre of Cefalu, so it is in a quiet area.

Bus shuttle should have been more frequent

Staff were excellent ... extremely helpful (especially the girls at reception) ... rooms were very clean .... also they have a reliable free shuttle service to Cefalu' town and also to their private beach ... would definitely stay there again

Good service by friendly staff, actually hotel Paradiso was the most friendly hotel that we stayed at in Sicily (out of 5 hotels). The girls at the reception are friendly and very professional and all staff we met did their best give us a good service, which is very rare in Sicily. It sees as if the hotel has a good management who understand what is means to give good service , truly a rare phonomena in Sicily. The pool is very nice surrounded by high trees. Breakfast is nice too, with fresh orange juice as an extra bonus.

The beds are too short and too hard
