Villa Paradiso dell'Etna is a Sicilian villa at the foot of Mount Etna, in the little village of San Giovanni La Punta (400m/1,312ft above sea level). Since the hotel opened in 1927, its guests have included artists, writers and celebrities. Following careful restoration that kept the original elegant style of the building, the four star superior hotel retains the air of a privately owned Sicilian villa surrounded by a peaceful flower-filled garden and offers 30 panoramic rooms and four sumptious suites. Each room is individually decorated with 19th century Sicilian antique features. The warm Sicilian hospitality and the convenient location, being equally close to both the volcano and to the sandy or rocky beaches of Catania, offer everyone an unforgettable holiday.
