Hotel Villa Paradiso

Art, history, and sea views come together at Hotel Villa Paradiso. This historic property stands in the heart of Taormina, overlooking the waters of the Bay of Naxos and the dramatic slopes of Mount Etna. From the moment you arrive, the place feels elegant and deeply personal, like stepping into a refined Sicilian residence that has been welcoming travelers for generations.
The building was carefully renovated, it preserves its historic character while offering modern comfort throughout. Inside, the rooms reflect that character beautifully. Antique furniture sits beside original works of art, giving each space its own identity. Some rooms open onto private balconies or terraces with sea views, others overlook the quiet garden or the charming streets. Each room also includes practical comforts such as television, air conditioning, and a minibar.
One of the hotel’s most memorable features sits above it all. The rooftop terrace hosts the stylish Settimo Cielo bar, which opens in the late afternoon and stays lively into the evening. Here, guests sip cocktails while the sky slowly changes color over the Ionian Sea. The view stretches across rooftops, coastline, and volcano in one sweeping panorama. It feels cinematic, and instagrammeable.
The rooftop also houses a beautiful breakfast room with panoramic 360-degree views. It includes fresh pastries, fruit, and Italian coffee. The shared lounge includes a well-stocked library and a quiet veranda overlooking the gardens. Art lovers often pause here for a closer look at an original painting by Joan Miró displayed within the property.
During summer months, (from June through September), guests receive access to Nuova Spiaggia Paradiso in nearby Letojanni. The partnership includes a complimentary parasol and sun lounger, making it easy to enjoy a day by the water along Sicily’s beautiful eastern coast.
