Although I did not meet Marion in person (she was on a long overdue holiday) I was very well taken care of by the loveliest of people there in her stead. And Marion was just moments away via text at all times, going above and beyond as a host. I spent a week in her idyllic place and was overwhelmed by the beauty and serenity. It is named Paradise for good reason! I would recommend having your own transportation if you plan on leaving Paradise, even to go into town, as it is about 2.5km curvy ride up the mountain, from the centre of Castelbuono (the only reason I gave the location a 4/5 star rating- I would have given a 10 rating to everything else if the app would let me!) I rented a scooter in Cefalù and rode the 45km to Paradise, as I did not find any public transportation in or out of Castelbuono and Uber did not seem to be an option. I also made good friends with Marion’s sweet pup Lola😍, who would come out for a brief pet whenever she heard me. If you are looking to get away from it all and go back in time to a beautiful, rustic Sicilian home away from home, I cannot more highly recommend Paradise!!!!
