Location
Guests appreciate the seclusion provided by the absence of other hotels nearby, which enhances the serene environment. The well-organized resort ensures minimal disturbance by restricting vehicles within the premises, contributing to the calm and safety for children and families.

Overall, the location is praised for its combination of lush forest, calming seaside and excellent accessibility to nearby towns and attractions. It's a wonderful spot for a family-friendly vacation or a romantic getaway, where guests can enjoy the serene beauty of Tuscany.
Breakfast
However, some guests mention that the breakfast can be expensive with prices around 14 euros per person. While some find it a great value for the money, others feel it is a bit pricey for what is offered. Issues such as the use of plastic cups and occasional busyness during peak times are noted, but these are minor points in the context of largely positive feedback.
Overall, the breakfast at Paradù EcoVillage & Resort stands out for its comprehensive and satisfying offerings, contributing to a pleasant stay for its guests.
Dinner
However, the dining experience isn't without its criticisms. The pizzeria, despite being good according to some, has other reviewers noting a lackluster experience, especially given its high prices. Similarly, while the evening buffet gets commendations for its variety and taste, it is also described as expensive and sometimes served cold. Some guests feel that the overall food quality does not justify the gourmet restaurant prices, labeling the food as average and overpriced.
Service at the restaurants also draws mixed reactions with some noting kind but unprofessional waitstaff, delayed orders and disorganized service. The dining rooms and food areas can be chaotic and loud, detracting from the dining experience. Additionally, the limited menu options and high costs make dining a less favorable activity for some guests who prefer varied and decently priced meals.
Despite these points of contention, the array of culinary and dining options, combined with the resort’s scenic location and additional entertainment offerings, ensures that many guests find enjoyable experiences during their stay at Paradù EcoVillage & Resort.
Rooms
The functional design of the rooms with features like air conditioning and mosquito nets, ensures a pleasant stay. However, the compact size of some bungalows and chalets, particularly the kitchens, was a point of concern for larger families. Despite this, the spaces were generally cozy, clean and well-maintained with modern designs enhancing their appeal. The high-quality furniture and new bathrooms in some units add to the aesthetic and comfort.
For those traveling with children, the resort is highly accommodating with several activities and well-organized spaces that keep the little ones entertained. The surrounding pine forest provides a picturesque backdrop, creating a peaceful and nature-oriented atmosphere. The accommodations are strategically placed to offer privacy and serenity with some guests highlighting the minimal distance between units as a non-issue, especially in the off-season.
A few challenges were mentioned, such as occasional noise from nearby air conditioning units or internal issues like ants, poorly soundproofed rooms and limited ventilation. Despite these minor setbacks, the overall impression is positive with many guests praising the resort’s cleanliness, cozy environment and the well-organized and safe setting for children.
Paradù EcoVillage & Resort stands out for its beautiful setting, thoughtful design and functional accommodations, making it an ideal choice for a nature-immersed getaway. While there are a few areas that could be improved, the resort overall provides a delightful and comfortable experience for its guests.
Beds
While the majority of guests found the beds and bedding to be of high quality, some pointed out that the mattresses tend to be on the harder side, which may not suit everyone’s preference. Pillows are another area where feedback varied with some guests mentioning they were too small or flat.
Overall, the resort aims to provide a good night's sleep with firm mattresses and blankets suitable for cooler weather. However, a few guests did express concerns about the beds being too hard and the pillows not being ideal. Cleanliness in the sleeping areas received mixed reviews with most finding the bedding clean and fresh, while a few suggested that general cleaning could be improved.
For those planning to spend days by the beach, it's worth noting that beach beds and parasols come at an additional charge. Generally, the sleeping accommodations at Paradù EcoVillage & Resort are well-received, focusing on comfort with a few individual preferences that might need to be catered to.
Cleanliness
However, not everything is spotless. Some guests mentioned issues with mold, dirty floors, cobwebs and dust in the corners of accommodations. There were also critiques of the initial room cleanliness upon arrival with reports of dishes with dried food residue and unclean bathrooms. The availability of cleaning supplies and the effectiveness of mid-stay cleaning services left some guests wishing for better standards.
Despite these drawbacks, many praised the resort for its comfortable and well-equipped accommodation amidst a tranquil, green setting. The attention to waste sorting and general hygiene was appreciated, contributing positively to the eco-friendly ethos of the resort. Overall, though there are areas of improvement especially in chalet maintenance and thorough cleaning, the resort generally provides a clean, well-maintained environment with beautiful natural surroundings.

Special mentions go to individuals like Noemi, Abdullah and Elisa, who made notable impacts on guests' experiences. The reception staff, in particular, are praised for efficiently handling check-ins and addressing questions or concerns with a smile.
However, some feedback indicates room for improvement, especially in areas like language skills, particularly German and overall preparedness. A few guests reported encountering unfriendly or unmotivated staff, especially in specific areas such as the pool bar or certain restaurants. Despite these isolated instances, the overall sentiment leans heavily towards a positive and memorable interaction with the resort's staff.
In summary, the majority of guests find the staff at Paradù EcoVillage & Resort to be a significant highlight of their stay—friendly, helpful and dedicated, making efforts to ensure a pleasant and enjoyable vacation experience.
Wi-Fi
However, connectivity isn't consistent throughout the entire resort. Specifically, guests staying in chalets or bungalows frequently mention that the WiFi is either very poor or completely nonexistent. This patchy reception can be problematic for those who rely on stable internet access.
Overall, while the resort takes strides to offer complimentary WiFi and promises great coverage, the inconsistency, especially in private accommodations, suggests there is room for improvement in ensuring all areas of the resort benefit from equally strong connectivity.
Pool
However, there are significant drawbacks. Many guests found the pools to be overcrowded, sometimes with limited opening hours and requiring advance reservations, which didn't always guarantee entry. The main pool was often described as too small relative to the number of users with some feeling the sunbeds were closely packed and insufficient in number. Complaints were raised about the water temperature being either too hot or too cold and on occasion, pool cleanliness was a concern. The necessity of wearing a swimming cap and the restricted pool usage times further detracted from the experience for some visitors. These factors combined led to a perception that certain amenities are not aligned with the resort's guest capacity, making the overall pool experience a point of disappointment for some despite its potential advantages.

The shaded and guarded parking areas add a level of comfort and security for guests. The parking facilities are mostly covered, catering to the comfort of the guests' vehicles.
However, it's worth noting that the parking is designed exclusively for cars with no dedicated spaces for motorcycles. Despite the minor inconveniences like the distance of the chalet from the parking area in some cases, the overall parking system contributes positively to the resort's tranquil, car-free environment.

Although some accommodations are located in darker forested areas, the overall free and high availability of amenities adds to the convenience for all guests.
Children's Pool
However, some criticism emerged regarding the size of the pools with a few guests finding them smaller than expected and often crowded. Nonetheless, the cleanliness and safety of the pools, including attentive lifeguarding, were appreciated. A unique aspect is the requirement for swim caps in all pools, which some guests overlooked, opting not to swim as a result.
The separation of adult-only pools from family pools was praised for allowing parents to relax without disturbing other guests. Beyond the pools, the resort offers engaging evening entertainment for both adults and children, including a clown show and baby dance. Despite the minor language barrier with most staff primarily speaking Italian, the resort remains a beautiful, child-friendly facility perfect for families seeking a fun and safe environment.
