Hotels near Sanctuary of St Francis of Paula

"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!"

"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."

"Clean and new hotel with excellent helpful staff "

"Would not hesitate to stay here again. Not directly on the beach, but only a very short walk. I received a lovely warm welcome, and the room was just lovely. It had a very nicely furnished balcony, and a slight view of the ocean. The room and bathroom were extremely clean. I had a small refrigerator, and a room safe. There was also a dryer and the basic bath soaps etc provided. The bed was comfortable, the only thing being that it seems that they use a plastic bed cover to protect their mattresses under their sheets, and that felt a bit uncomfortable, but really glad they use one! The linens were very nice....nice thick bath towels. I did not partake in the breakfasts during my stay, but I did see the buffet, and it looked like they provided a very nice continental breakfast. Everyone there was so friendly and nice. No question or request was left unaddressed. A perfect stay!"

"The staff were amazing. The room exceeded our expectations. The restaurant food was excellent. We really enjoyed our time there. "

"We had the most beautiful stay at Hotel Villa Belvedere. We arrived late in the day after missing a flight. They had a concierge outside waiting to meet us and valet our car. We were warmly welcomed with a glass of wine and shown to our beautiful room. The rooms were comfortable and clean with everything we needed. The pool area was gorgeous and the sun loungers were comfortable. The breakfast on the terrace overlooking the sea was lovely. Breakfast had a generous spread. The location was perfect. We were able to walk everywhere we wanted. We would return here again and again. You will love your stay!"

"The staff were exemplary. Service was excellent. The grounds and view were amazing. The food and service was excellent. The Michelin restaurant was amazing with local wine pairing. I will return. It was a magical stay"

"Stunning property with incredible architecture and location on cliff side next to see and overlooking the town. Wonderful staff and owner that offered to drive me to the ferry when the taxi was not showing up on time. Good menu for dinner. Great breakfast and unbeatable setting. The only problem was that although they say to preserve water, it takes 10-15 minutes for the water in the shower to get warm. Investing in a new water heating system should be top priority. Even so, I would love to stay there again."

"Lovely hotel and the most amazing sea view and very helpful staff. Unfortunately there isn’t anything you can walk to, so you need a car to get about. The food at the hotel is great, but the evening menu is limited and the bar closes at 10.30pm. The gym could do with some more weights and equipment."
