Hotels near to Mount Etna volcano, Sicily

Hotel Villa Paradiso dell'Etna, Etna

Hotel Villa Paradiso dell'Etna is a charming four-star hotel on the slope of Mount Etna, close to the village of San Giovanni La Punta. It is a traditional Sicilian villa and has been enchanting guests with its immaculate gardens and lovingly restored buildings since 1929. The array of antiques, paintings and floral arrangements combine to make the villa both homely and elegant at once. There are 30 rooms and a further four suites, which are all supplied with air conditioning, mini-bar, satellite TV, in-room safe and direct-line telephone as standard. This villa hotel in the province of Catania also offers beauty treatments and massages for you to indulge, especially after a gruelling work out in the hotel's gymnasium or a tough game on its tennis courts. Exquisite Sicilian food is served all year round in La Pigna restaurant, with an additional restaurant, Angolo degli Allori, open only over the summer period.

This hotel in Sicily is only 10 kilometres from the airport at Catania, and just a short drive from the Parco dell'Etna, making it very easy to see the volcano itself. The unpredictability of the volcano means tourists are no longer allowed to get close to the main crater, but even from a distance you cannot fail to be thrilled by the heat and smoke. Villa Paradiso also makes an ideal base for visiting the lively package resort of Taormina and the large, busy city of Catania, both on the Ionian east coast of Sicily.
