"Our stay at Villa Paradiso was exceptional! The people there are completely devoted to
ensuring you have the best experience. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and spoiled by their Sicilian hospitality. The team of people at reception, including Francesco and Rafaella, offered their professional advice on day trips and restaurant choices all of which were phenomenal. The rooftop area for breakfast and pre dinner drinks and appetizers provided an amazing view, delicious food and again exceptional people providing warm and hospitable service. Our suite was spacious, comfortable, spotless and well appointed. The location was perfect to access the many impressive restaurants and shops around the beautiful town. We would definitely stay here again!"
"Hotel Airone is very comfortable and clean, with spacious and quiet rooms. The staff is friendly and helpful. Breakfast is complete, with an excellent cappuccino and delicious croissants. Overall, it was a great stay"
"Absolutely perfect location: a private peninsula right by the sea, with its own beach and seawater pool — it couldn’t have been better. The ideal place to end the autumn season: swimming and reading under the sun. The hotel’s shuttle made getting to Taormina’s center quite convenient, but the best part was definitely our base here — a room with a stunning sea view. The staff were lovely and welcoming."
