Hotel Alberi del Paradiso - Cefalu

We stayed here for two weeks on a Jet2 package and loved it. It's an attractive, comfortable, quiet hotel, and above all the staff are absolutely wonderful. On our first day, Matteo spent nearly an hour with us on the terrace answering all our questions about where to go, what to do, and organising car hire for us. All the reception staff were very professional, but kind and warm too -- lovely people (thanks Irene, Rosanna, Chiara, and in the restaurant Vincenzo & your wonderful team.) The cleaning staff too were lovely. We will always remember our time at Alberi Del Paradiso with great affection - happy times, great food, perfect relaxation, etc). Thank you xx||(A very small negative for some people: the hotel is set on a hill, about 20 minutes walk from the old town. We enjoyed the exercise, but others might not! Taxis are about 15 euros.)

We stayed for 5 nights at the hotel and cannot thank the staff enough for providing such a wonderful service. The room was spacious and very comfortable. The breakfast was excellent and we really enjoyed our evening meal in the restaurant! The staff went above and beyond to make our stay very special. Cefalu itself is a brilliant town to visit. Lots of places to visit and so much choice when it comes to eating out. Would highly recommend!

The front desk was great everyday we were there especially Rosanna, Irene and Chiara. The wait staff in the restaurant who work morning, noon and night are amazing and couldn’t be more helpful then they were. Our rooms were beautiful and had amazing ocean views. The whole campus was beautiful and in amazing condition. Grazie Mille!!

My husband and I stayed at this hotel for four nights and loved it. The location requires a bit of a hike (or shuttle) but we didn’t mind walking off our pasta and gelato. The staff is so kind, welcoming, and very helpful. The breakfast is incredible. Our room was clean and comfortable. We also enjoyed visiting the beach club at the sister hotel across town. Would recommend!

We arrived early for a one-night stay in Cefalu and they checked us in immediately and gave us a room upgrade. We weren't there for an hour before deciding that we just HAD to stay an additional night. Fortunately, they could accommodate that as well!||The rooms was clean, quite, the bed comfortable; the food abundant, fresh, and very high quality. We also had an elegant dinner at their restaurant, Al Capone. All of the staff, Chiara, Rosario, Mateo, Vincenzo, Angelo, etc. were very gracious. Would definitely return as it was a memorable experience.

Just returned from staying at this beautiful hotel. Loved the surroundings, comfortable bed and it's very clean. The jasmine covered walkway gives such sweet fragrance.||I particularly value the helpful detailed advice given by the staff at the reception when I enquired about public transport. The bus stop is almost just outside the hotel front gate. It's Linea C and follows a circular route, so just one bus stop and not two (one on each side of the road). You just get on the bus and pay the bus driver, only 1 euro 20 cents per trip. No need to validate the bus ticket.|The name of the bus stop at the hotel is ITC (name of the school opposite the hotel). The "terminals" are Capolinea in Cefalù Cefalù, and Hotel Kalura. So to go the Cefalù bus terminal, you get on the bus, don't get off at the Kalura terminal when everyone else does, and stay on the bus to the next stop which is the bus terminal in town. |So returning to the hotel from town, you simply get off at the ITC stop which is about a 10 to 15 minutes bus ride.|The Capolinea bus terminal is convenient for the tourists information centre and also the duomo. From my experience, bus was very empty with only a few passengers, a few minutes late and longer during early evening with heavier traffic. |The bus arrival times are displayed at the bus stops, see photos.

An unforgettable stay in paradise! 😊 This hotel is absolutely beautiful, featuring a stunning pool area and impeccably clean, comfortable rooms. The staff are incredibly kind and helpful, making every moment of our stay special. The hotel also offers a convenient shuttle service to the beach, which we found very useful. But the true highlight for us was the restaurant—and, more importantly, the amazing team working there. We stayed on a half-board basis and enjoyed both breakfast and dinner. The food was absolutely delicious—some of the best we had during our trip! We genuinely wish we booked more nights here to try every dish on the menu. What really set this experience apart, though, was the restaurant staff and their manager. They were cheerful, attentive, and genuinely warm. They remembered our surname, our water and coffee preferences, and those little touches made all the difference. We couldn’t recommend this hotel and their restaurant more—it’s perfect for relaxation, great food, and exceptional service. We can't wait to be back! ❤️

My husband and I had traveled from Taormina to Cefalù for 2 nights and our experience with Alberi del Paradiso exceeding all expectations. The hotel staff was more than accommodating, having provided recommendations for activities and helping us with bookings such as dinner and wine tasting and even secured us shuttle services to their sister hotel, Le Calette. Breakfast at the hotel was lovely each morning and we had dinner at Al Capone on our last night which was perfection; food, wine selection and the staff were wonderful. We even enjoyed the hotel's spa services and had just an overall beautiful stay for our honeymoon-- would highly recommend to any guest!

Nice hotel with gracious staff. The bar is great and breakfast was excellent. The pool is also very nice. Hotel is high up on a hill not the easiest for getting to the city. The hotel has a shuttle to the beach club but only 8 seats and reservations are mandatory. I don't like to schedule my vacations like that. But the included beach club is nice to have. The club doesn't have delivered food or drink service but you can get wine and beer next door along with simple snacks. The "nicer" reef club (only two departures m-f )is on a space available and you get 20% off walk in rates for hotel guests - if you make a reservation, you are charged full price. Uber is difficult to get and local taxis are 15 euros to city center 1km. I would recommend a car but traffic in season is very heavy. Nice place to stay when you visit.

Best staff and service. Mateo very helpful. Great breakfast. Thank you Pietro but everyone was wonderful I just don't know their names. Thank you for a wonderful 2 days

The staff was very attentive from check-in to check-out. It is located in a peaceful area, connecting you to nature. Breakfast was included in our stay, which offered a wide range of food options. We stayed in a suite overlooking the pool, it was very spacious and relaxing. It is a little ways from downtown, but that is what makes it so peaceful. It is about a 15 minute walk to the historic downtown area, taking shortcuts. We had a vehicle so it wasn't an issue for us. Will stay again when we return.

Much closer to perfect than not, definitely worth staying again. This is a solid hotel, with a delightful breakfast service and an extremely pleasant pool area. It's not quite a luxury establishment. It does have a bit of a worn feeling but it is still a quality establishment. The breakfast in the morning, a buffet, has choices for everyone. The coffee is brought to your table, to order. The service is attentive and pleasant. I wasn't a huge fan of the lack of refreshing of the bathroom toiletries and towels. But as we only stayed two nights it was not the end of the world. Also, the bed was a bit hard for my liking but it was OK. It's quite a bit of distance from here down to the port. While the hotel does have a shuttle that goes back-and-forth several times each day, he finishes at around 7:30 PM. The taxi ride, at about €10 each way, is a bit of a rip off but there's nothing to be done about it. Everyone at the hotel was extremely pleasant. Customer service was quite good. For the price and the location this is a good value. I would stay here again.
