Hotel Paradiso Residence

Absolutely lovely, family run hotel with outstanding service. We were made to feel welcome from the minute we arrived to the minute we left. The only downside was that it was a 20 minute walk from the town centre along a beach pathway with a few hazards which would not be suitable for anyone not steady on their feet or with a pushchair (although the owner is happy to ring for a taxi if needed)

This is very much a family run hotel who are proud of their business and are very visible ensuring everyone is satisfied and having a good time. The patron was very welcoming. It has an interesting layout – maybe a little higgledy piggledy – with some antique furniture in the corridors. The rooms are large and spotlessly clean, the bathroom modern and the aircon efficient but noisy. The balcony overlooks the hotel’s small square and whilst you can just see the sea it cannot be described as a “sea view” room. Breakfast is basic but fine. Typically, Italian but with good coffee, cakes and croissants. The evening meal was fabulous - a four course meal including a bottle of wine and water. The private safe, sandy beach is a few steps between the apartments. It has a bar for lunch and drinks. The deckchair, sunbed, umbrella is included. From the main road the hotel is down a very steep gated driveway and is midway between the busy Santa Maria and smart San Marco both best reached by walking along the beach. This is fine during the day but a little precarious at night. One evening we were treated to a live band in the little square. There is a kids club. We loved the area and the hotel and would recommend it.
