Alberi del Paradiso

My husband and I came here for our honeymoon and our stay was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and taken care of throughout our visit. Every team member we interacted with was friendly, professional, accommodating, and genuinely attentive (Rosanna, Irene, Matteo, Antonio, and all). The level of service was exceptional, and it truly made our experience memorable. The hotel itself was beautiful, clean, and comfortable, but it was the amazing hospitality that really stood out. We would highly recommend staying here and look forward to returning in the future!

The lovely situation of the hotel. We really loved the breakfast on the terrace and the swimming pool area. The general air of tranquility also.

Very bright, attractive hotel.

We were impressed by the hospitality from the staff. Very helpful and very friendly. Our apartment was lovely with a unique design. We also enjoyed the dinner in restaurant Al Capone and the breakfast on the terrace.

We wanted to stay in Cefalu so arranged 7 days through Jet2 Holidays.

The Alberi Del Paradiso is located in a quiet woodland area with lovely gardens. The welcome, courtesy and professionalism of the staff is evident from the moment you enter the cool reception area. The one chance to make a good first impression and they nailed it. It just felt right. That feeling, even when you're tired from the journey 'We've made the right choice' . Rosanna explained everything whilst our luggage was being taken to the room.

The room we had was well equipped, spacious and very comfortable with everything provided and efficiently cleaned daily. The balcony, although relatively small, had views of the sea to the front and the of hillsides behind.

Fortunately, we stayed on a half-board basis. The food and choice in the Al Capone Restaurant was excellent. Vincenzo, the Maitre D, and his team were attentive, helpful and courteous at all times. They even suggested and accommodated changes if something wasn't quite right. A faultless service.

Breakfast was equally good with a wide choice and availability.

Staying at this hotel really is a First-Class experience.

There is one negative only. The hotel has a private beach to which a shuttle service runs but only from June to September. Although only approx 800 metres from the promenade and in an almost straight line, it is quite a tough return up the steps. Perhaps they could consider operating a limited -times service outside of June/September.

Let there be no doubt - I recommend this wonderful Hotel in the most positive way possible!

First, I would like to congratulate everyone who all work, so hard, to ensure that the guest experience is so enjoyable. Everyone is top class, friendly, [professional and all were 100% lovely to speak to! I am not going to mention any names, because that would be unfair, as I did not get everyone's name that we came in contact with.

The hotel itself is magnificent. It's comfortable, very nicely appointed and has loads of places to sit and enjoy the stunning views! It must be said that the Hotel and surroundings are immaculate and really well looked after.

Our room was great, the bed was very large and comfortable. I really liked the bathroom, especially the push-button controls on the shower!

The food was excellent. I have stayed in many hotels which do not achieve the same very high standard that you do. Breakfast , lunch and dinner were all really really good!

We thought that the pool area was a very calming and quiet place to be. The pool is great, the shade provided by the trees is very nice, and of course, the bar is excellent!! :)

The Hotel is located only a 10 minute walk from the seafront in Cefalu, which is well worth the stroll!!

Overall, I thought the Hotel was really good value, especially when you consider the quality of the service, amenities and food.

My only issue is that this wonderful experience is now over. Thank you very much!

Our stay at Alberi del Paradiso was one of those rare hotel experiences that genuinely becomes part of the trip itself.

From the moment we arrived, the level of service was exceptional. Matteo, serving as both concierge and host, made us feel immediately welcomed and cared for. He went above and beyond helping us navigate an incredibly stressful delayed flight and lost luggage situation, stepping in with patience, professionalism, and genuine kindness. The entire front desk team joined in trying to help resolve the issue so we could continue enjoying our vacation, and their effort did not go unnoticed.

What truly made this hotel unforgettable, though, was how every member of the staff made us feel less like guests and more like family. The warmth here feels authentic.

Each morning, Inna greeted us with her kind smile and led us to what became our favorite breakfast table overlooking the water. It quickly became part of our daily ritual, and seeing her welcoming face every morning was something we genuinely looked forward to. Those quiet breakfasts with that beautiful view will remain one of our favorite memories of Cefalù.

The restaurant was equally incredible. The food was divine — fresh, thoughtful, and beautifully prepared — but once again it was the hospitality that elevated the experience. Every meal felt relaxed, personal, and welcoming.

Cefalù itself is magical, but Alberi del Paradiso made the experience unforgettable. This is the kind of hotel that makes you start planning your return before you’ve even left.

Lovely big room with large balcony and view. Being surrounded by trees and flowering plants was lovely and the food in restaurant good

It’s the little things you don’t think about that signal great hospitality. And the reason you don’t have to think about them is because your host has. From the excellence of the bathroom fittings to the quality of the bedding, and on to the choice of staff and their training, making sure that training does not stifle the humanity and individualism of the people that work for you, this hotel gets it right.

The setting of the hotel is massively enhanced by the care that has been taken with its gardens over decades. The planting has an unpretentious natural elegance providing shady arbours around the pool and the terraces, all of which someone has thought to make easily negotiable. This should be a tricky site to move around, but it isn’t; I never once ended up in a dead space. Making the steep but short walk up from the old town you are greeted with a kind of oasis, and not one that has appeared by accident.

Value for money is one measure of a hotel and this hotel passes that test easily. Much harder to evaluate, but easy to feel, is when a hotelier really cares about what they do and creates an environment in which both guests and staff feel part of the same thing. This hotel achieves that quite rare thing.

Absolutely exceptional. Get the breakfast, it’s among the best hotel breakfasts I’ve ever had, and the check in experience was very personal and charming. Thank you Vincenso.

We really enjoyed this hotel. We had a prestige room with a sea view.
The breakfast is spectacular with a juicing machine and a huge selection of carrots, ginger, oranges etc to put in it. Massive selection of fresh fruits and meats etc and a good cooked menu
The staff are all super friendly and helpful - especially Rosanna on reception

I have been to many great hotels in Capri and Canne. This hotel was very good to excellent. The room was very nice and housekeeping excellent. Valentina and Irene at reception most professional and made us feel very comfortable. They were most kind. Finally we elected to eat at the hotel 3 nights. The food and service were excellent. Overall hotel provided a great deal of high quality amenities at a reasonable price point

Cefalu is a wonderful place to explore and the hotel is excellent for a comfortable base. The atmosphere provided by the trees and gardens feels like an oasis. The staff (thank you Matteo, Irene and teams) are wonderful, helpful and friendly. We particularly liked the cocktails, sofas, nibbles and supper, but relaxing by the pool was also very welcome after days exploring.

Absolutely wonderful stay at Alberi Paradiso. From the moment we stepped into the hotel, to the time we left, nothing was too much. The breakfast buffet was one of the best we’ve had, especially the omelettes, and the fresh juices were a nice touch.
The hotel is a 10 minute walk down to the beach / centre, but maybe 20 mins on the way up; so maybe not ideal for those with limited mobility.
A special thanks to Matteo- he’s a credit to the hotel, so friendly and always greeted us with a smile. We will be back!

Wonderful hotel with excellence surroundings. The staff were amazing, including the lovely welcome from Valentina, Rosanna, Irene on reception. Also the restaurant staff, including Vincenzo, Marco and Ena who made us feel so special. Thank you to Sarah who kept our room spotless. Thank you all so much for making our stay so memorable and we look forward to returning soon.

A lovely stylish hotel set up the hill in Cefalu, boasting very good facilities and gorgeous grounds, full of hidden spots and lovingly maintained flowers and plants.

The staff couldn’t have been more helpful to us, they are informative, attentive and welcoming, and I’m learning that a laidback kind of warmth is the Sicilian way.

The breakfast options are excellent and the evening meal we had was very tasty, washed down with a bottle of Monteleone Etna Rossi, a lovely fruity, volcanic wine which we will be after when we get back to the UK.

The room is lovely and clean, with a sea view, good air con and a lovely walk in shower.

This gem of a place comes with our hearty recommendation.
