Villa Paradiso

Informazioni su questo posto Villa Paradiso

Villa Paradiso occupies a historic villa near the Greek Theatre, with 37 rooms and suites, a rooftop pool and a terrace that delivers one of the most spectacular views in Sicily: the ancient theatre stage against the blue bay, Etna rising behind. The hotel has a long-standing reputation as one of Sicily's most welcoming properties for LGBTQ+ guests — it appears on multiple gay travel platform recommended lists and is cited in specialist LGBTQ+ travel guides. This is not a gay hotel in the branded sense; it is a family-run boutique property whose owners have always made same-sex couples genuinely welcome. The décor reflects the property's character as a historic Sicilian family home: antiques, local art, hand-painted tiles and a level of personal service unusual even for boutique hotels. The rooftop pool and the main terrace restaurant serve as the social heart of the hotel during summer mornings and evenings. Price range is 4-star plus.
