It’s out of the way and you would need a car. The hotel and its staff are friendly and helpful. Food and its quality are plentiful. Choice at the evening meal is good and the food well presented. If you want to stay in the Etna area this is ideal.

This Nice Hotel is a lil old and not in the City, 25 min outside, but i have to say, its very very clean an you have the opportunity to eat in the Restaurant a la Carte or in the restaurant beside also Pizza and Burger. This Hotel we chose because it was the center of everything we wantet. (its not far to Etna Vulcano, to the outletstore, to Taminia and also to Catania and the Airport. We will come again.

A nice hotel family owned and on site 20 hrs a day. The food is good and you are treated like royalty. The breakfast is awesome! The beds are comfortable and clean! The view of Mt Etna is right outside of the back of the hotel and our room. After 4 nights it felt like home.

Good 4 star hotel with Etna view
Nice hotel in the "middle of nowhere". Very good restaurant and service. Only minus that they have to close swimming pool too early, already at 18.00, because of preparing tables for outdoor restaurant at swimming pool area.

Beautiful hotel overlooking Etna . The food is great and with lots of choice . Brilliant for my wife who uses a wheelchair and the accessible room was really good . Difficult to find with the sat nav provided on the hirecar so beware of this . Use your mobile to find it . Has to be driven to as out of the way but what a view .

we got hot breakfast
We stayed here overnight, the place is like a palace especially the facade and staffs are very helpful. We also tried their restaurants (burgers delicious). Wifi is kind of spotty but overall clean room and bathroom spacious with all necessities available. They asked us what we want for breakfast which was nice so scrambled eggs, omelette and corneti.

We didn't like the breakfast set-up:
No buffet breakfast, you have to order your breakfast the day before. Everything came at once to the table and the missing toast took 15 minutes to arrive.

Grazie
We stayed here for one week and the people running this hotel are without a doubt the nicest, friendliest and most helpful hotel staff you will ever find. Whatever we needed they were there for us and offered their help. The design of the hotel is very elegant and the rooms were very clean and the showers were warm and cozy. Our room had a beautiful view of the sicilian landscape and mount Etna. The hotel restaurant has great food and the breakfast has many many options and you can yourself pick what you wish and at what time. If you want to go to tours the hotel will help you with bringing tour guides and even they can help you with transfer or finding car rentals. The hotel but the people working there in particular made this trip a journey we will never forget. Thank you!

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.

Der Gast fühlt sich unwillkommen.Der Garten und der Pool wird gegen 18.00Uhr zugeschlossen.Unser Blick aus dem Zimmer richtete sich auf den vermüllten Hinterhof.Leider stimmte hier weder die Lage noch der Service. Der Preis ist in keinster Weise gerechtfertigt.

They cleaned our room daily with fresh towels. Something you can’t find state side without asking anymore. Staff was accommodating and friendly all around. The food was surprisingly good and the same people worked everyday. They work like a family. Great job guys. But English is hard to come by. So know some basic words in Sicilian…..

Una sicurezza
Bellissimo, in posizione paesaggistica perfetta perché si trova proprio ai piedi dell' Etna e mi e capitato di sera di vedere le lingue rosse del fuoco o della lava nella lontananza buia. Un fiore all'occhiello di questo locale e la ristorazione, complimenti, non si può descrivere ma solo provare, Blper tutti i gusti e per tutte le tasche. E non dimentichiamo la estrema professionalità e cortesia dei gestori, sempre pronti a soddisfare eventuali necessità. Consigliato prenotare con largo anticipo per trovare posto
