The low rise, whitewashed Hotel Paradiso is perched on Posillipo hill, with sweeping views of Vesuvius volcano and its surroundings.

Its 74 guestrooms are decorated in warm tones and offer simple, modern furnishings.

All rooms have climate control, Internet connections, cable TV and ensuite bathrooms with complimentary toiletries.

The hotel has a large roof terrace where guests can admire the view, bask in the sun and relax with a glass of wine dining on locally caught seafood.

Business travelers will find ample facilities at their disposal, such as fully equipped conference rooms and wireless Internet access.

Tourist guests, however, can quiz the hotel's concierge desk to get advice on visiting local attractions. Some local sights include Virgilian Park and Virgilio's Mausoleum 3.5 kilometers (2 miles) and 1.5 kilometers (1 mile) away respectively. Also, just 4 kilometers (2.5 miles) away are the Royal Palace and S. Carlo Opera.
