We really enjoyed our stay here. Roberta at the front desk was extremely helpful. We emailed her before our arrival and she arranged for our transportation from the airport. She booked some private tours for our group and even arranged for a translator who was fantastic! Roberta could not have been more helpful!!! We rented a studio apartment for the week. It was small but adequate. Everything was spotless. The shower was very tiny but that seems to be the case all over Italy. Our apartment was on the fourth floor of a walk-up so although we were a little intimidated at first, the exercise helped wear off all of that wonderful Italian food. Be warned though . . . these steps are not for the feint of heart.

“Nice studio, great service”

We stayed in Minori, at the Torre Paradiso for a week. The small kitchen was efficient, so we had breakfast in our rooms sometimes but not really great to cook a meal. We checked in at the Hotel Villa Romana and found the wonderful Roberta, who organised several tours for us and also made sure all of our problems were solved. The apartments are about two blocks away but they organise a transfer to take your baggage across. Two bonuses: you can use the pool at the Hotel Villa Romana and also have breakfast for a very nominal amount. The rooms (we had three) were all clean and had a some cutlery and dishware. We only had one glass and one cup but Roberta had more sent over right away. There are several fruit shops, bakeries and small mini markets with great food, so good fresh food is easily available. The shower is small but manageable. There is a safe. It was very quiet and the bed was comfortable.

“Not suitable for a long stay”

There was party of 4 of us so we had an apartment with a kitchenette and a hotel-style room. Both rooms were spacious enough and we were lucky to get a sea view.

There was party of 4 of us so we had an apartment with a kitchenette and a hotel-style room. Both rooms were spacious enough and we were lucky to get a sea view. Free safety deposit boxes in both rooms and free air conditioning was great. The location of Torre Paradiso is great as it's just few minutes walk into town and around a ten minute walk to the beach. However, neither rooms had a balcony, therefore we had nowhere to dry out beach towels or washing so had buy some string from a hardware store and make a washing line. By day 3/4 we realised that we hadn't had any fresh towels so we went to the sister hotel (Villa Romana) to ask about maid service. We were told that there was no maid service at Torre Paradiso and that any laundry service would be at an extra charge. This is outrageous and disgusting considering we were staying for 11 days, were already paying 20 euros a day to use the hotel's car park and that nowhere on their website did it state that there was no maid service. On expressing our disappointment we were given fresh towels. A few days later we noticed that the rooms were starting to get dirty. We did have a pan but no brush! So we voiced our concern to the Villa Romana reception and asked if we could have our rooms cleaned and some clean bedding. We were initially told that this would not be possible as we were staying at the apartments and not in the hotel. The reception staff managed to contact the manager who was then able to sort out our rooms to be cleaned. So over the 11 days that we were there we had our towels changed twice and bedding changed once with the rooms cleaned once also. Had we have only stayed for a couple of nights no cleaning service would have been fine but for nearly 2 weeks this is disgusting and unacceptable. The hotel need to clearly state that there is no maid service at Torre Paradiso so that others aren't disappointed.

I stayed at Torre Paradiso for 5 nights during July 2015 with my husband.The place is low cost option of hotel Villa Romana. The chek in is made at the reception of Villa Romana, and we walked for 5 minutes to our room. The building is a house, with 2 floosr and a mansard...our room was at mansard. The room was small, we didn't have a balcony and it was impossible to dry our clothes. The window was in the roof and we had no view. The room was really hot, the AC was water bassed not freon bassed and it wasn't powerfull enough for the last floor so we sweat alot. We had a small but functional kitchen. In our price we didn't have any meals, but we had the possibility to pay for meals at Villa Romana..We chose to eat breakfast at Villa Romana, it cost 5 euros and it was great. A great variaty of pasteries, eggs, ham, cheese, salami, vegetables and so on..Consider the fact that in Italy a cornetto and coffe is consider breakfast, this was more that enough. We had to possibility to use the pool also, but we bath in the seea.
