First, the communication with the staff was excellent PRIOR to our trip, and once we arrived we were treated like royalty. A great place to stay, a short five-minute walk from Corso Umberto, the Main Street for shopping, and an easy walk to the cable car and everything else. The Community Gardens is right outside the door. And the VIEW!!! We had a Junior Suite with a balcony that overlooked the bay and Mt. Etna. Just fantastic! Thank you, Hotel Villa Paradiso!!!
