We got married locally and it was a great central place for our guests to stay. It is in the village of Mercatale and even though there is no pool the rates are great and owners are so friendly.

I stayed in Paradise hotel while working - photographing a wedding weekend in Greve. I was a little nervous as I'm not used to travelling alone, but Matteo and Francesca were so welcoming. The room was large, cool and clean and the hotel very quiet and secure. And there is a fabulous cafe directly downstairs in the town square, that serves the best coffee I've ever tasted! I would highly recommend Paradise Hotel.

We enjoyed our time @ Hotel Paradise very much. Matteo goes out of his way to make visitors feel welcome and comfortable. Quaint location where you can get a feel for Tuscany without being overrun by traffic or lots of tourists. Situated between Siena and Florence, Hotel Paradise is appropriately named. We look forward to our next visit!

I have stayed at Hotel Paradise in Mercatale 4 times since 1997. I always stay there when in Tuscany. It is quiet and sweet and so close to Florence and Sienna. It is much quieter, cleaner, and more economical than staying in the city! The drive to either city is a pleasure that would be missed by staying within the city. It is a wonderful way to start or end any day in either Florence or Sienna...driving through such breathtaking beauty.
It feels like I am visiting friends rather than the feeling of being displaced or detatched like a tourist. The feel, size, decor, and location of the hotel make it seem like a home. Matteo and his family's warmth only add to the comfort and ease of the stay. Their hospitality is genuine...a rarity at any hotel!!!
They have also accommodated my Labrador, and treated him like a welcome guest :)
I can't wait until my next visit!!!
