| In 1927 the journalist and entrepreneur, Cosimo Mollica Alagona began the construction of the original Hotel Villa Paradiso dell’Etna to take advantage of the sites and surroundings that the likes of Goethe, Houel, Maupassant and other literary greats so enjoyed in their travels. | |
 |
|
|
The hotel’s grand opening was in December 1929. Equipped with the most modern amenities of that time, Villa Paradiso dell'Etna soon became the meeting place for artists and well-known dignitaries. The famous Catanian actor Angelo Musco described it as “a heavenly place by name and fact”. |

The Villa Paradiso
dell’Etna has been restored to its former glory, complete with authentic
furnishings and once again offers its guests the atmosphere and charm of its
past together with the highest quality of service. As in the past, guests are able to enjoy beautiful views of mount Etna and its spectacular volcanic activity from the hotel's terraces |
