- Traditional feel with relaxing pool area and gardens
- A 15-minute downhill walk from the centre of Cefalù and the sandy beach
Located on the hills overlooking Cefalù and surrounded by wonderfully landscaped gardens, this welcoming hotel has an elegant yet traditional style that combines Mediterranean décor with North African Moorish touches. The Hotel Alberi del Paradiso’s immaculate guest rooms have been tastefully decorated using a neutral palette.
Tucked away on the edge of town in a tranquil residential spot, the hotel offers a range of facilities including an outdoor restaurant, a wellness centre (payable locally) and a sheltered car park. To the west of the hotel lies the Santa Lucia promontory and to the east, the majestic La Rocca that provides the dramatic backdrop to Cefalù and its twin-towered Norman Duomo.
The town centre’s Piazza del Duomo is less than one mile away and can be reached by foot or by taking the hotel’s complimentary minibus service during the day. Cefalù’s sandy beach can also be reached with this shuttle bus or a 15-minute downhill walk.
The Alberi del Paradiso’s peaceful surroundings provide an ideal base from which to explore the medieval town of Cefalù and enjoy a relaxing holiday by the sea.

About the location
Holidays in Cefalù give you a microcosm of the best of Italy. Whatever attracts you to Sicily, or even the beautiful country itself, you’ll find it in this coastal town whose character greatly overcomes its modest size. Whether you’re looking for modern metropolitan culture, to explore absorbing historical heritage or simply to settle in for long sun drenched days on luxurious beaches living the true la dolce vita, Cefalù has it all.
Situated on Sicily’s Tyrrhenian coast a short way east of Palermo and in the shade of the large headland La Rocca, Cefalù holidays offer something for families, couples and adventurers. From the imposingly grand Cathedral to the ancient Roman Baths there is no shortage of sightseeing opportunities, while families with younger children will love the long golden sandy beach. Couples will adore a leisurely romantic stroll through the cobblestone streets or walk to the top of La Rocca to take in an idyllic sunset before heading back into town and dinner at one of Cefalù’s many fine restaurants.
Transfer time
The hotel is 1 hour 30 minutes from Palermo airport. Return private transfers included. To change your transfers or book car hire instead, simply call us once you’ve completed your booking.

A fabulous quality hotel in a beautiful quiet part of Cefalu but easily accessible by taxi within 10 minutes of the buzzy town centre.
The breakfast (especially the omelettes, fruit & cakes) and dinner menus were excellent offering a wide selection of fresh delicious food. The accommodation is very clean and comfortable with lovely balcony views overlooking Cefalu. The friendly and knowledgable reception staff of Rosanna, Giulia and Matteo and the Head Waiter went out of their way to be helpful!
The only improvement to our wonderful stay of 10days would have been to reinstate their mini van drop off service in the evening into the town centre.

We have just spent 3 nights at this hotel and had a wonderful stay. The staff could not have been more welcoming, friendly and helpful. All of them without exception seemed so happy to see us and always greeted us with big smiles and offers to help with anything we needed. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble. Comfortable rooms, great pool area and great food and service at the restaurant. The only minor downside is the location which is a little remote from the town and beach but both are in walking distance and the hotel also offered frequent complimentary shuttle services to the beach near the old town. We will definitely stay there again next time we are in Cefalù.

The hotel is set in lovely gardens about a 10 -15 minute walk from the centre of Cefalù. The staff could not have been more welcoming and helpful. Our room was one of the newer ones apparently and had been furnished to a very high standard, the shower was the rain shower type with additional handheld shower. Tea and coffee was provided and there was a well stocked mini bar. The secluded pool was well equipped with comfortable sun beds and trees providing welcome shade if needed.
Breakfast was served in a sunny room and there was plenty of choice including omelettes on request.
The hotel provided a shuttle bus to the town up to about 7pm. The walk up from the town is a bit arduous so would recommend taking a taxi if the shuttle has finished.
