    Everything was fine

    This property is a big villa inside an amazing fruit garden with tropical fruit trees. It has great view of Etna from the breakfast terrace and the common balcony. Gabriel and Francesco were the nicest hosts imaginable, Gabriel picked us up from the bus stop when we arrived and shared all the necessary information about Giardini Naxos and the area. Everyday we were served with a nice breakfast with a selection of pastries, sweet and sour treats, fresh coffee and juices, and local nuts grown right there next to the villa. The room was spacious and clean, we had our own small balcony. Our stay felt like we were visiting our new family.

    Warm Welcome and Stunning Etna Views from a Peaceful Villa

    A beautiful villa with an incredible view of Mount Etna — the setting was truly breathtaking and peaceful - a haven away from the hustle and bustle of Taormina. Communication was excellent throughout. Emanuele and Gabriele were kind, responsive, and attentive, and their father gave us a warm welcome with a helpful overview of the town. He took the time to show us a map with bus stops and pointed out local attractions and recommendations, which really helped us make the most of our visit. Breakfast was another highlight — made to order and served with fresh oranges and walnuts straight from the garden. A lovely, authentic touch in a stunning setting.

    Nothing really although some softer pillows would be nice but hard pillows seem to be the norm in southern Italy.

    A great B&B ideally located to take in the Taormina, Naxos and Etna area. Great breakfast in a lovely garden setting with views of Etna and warm hosting by the owners. Walking distance to the beach.

    B&B that feels like home in Giardini Naxos
    • Leisure trip

    • Stayed 1 night

    The procedure with breakfast items selection (online) - was a bit unusual. Location - it's pretty far from the town centre (the neighbourhood is not very nice) and one has to use a car.

    Family run B&B in a huge garden - rooms with all necessary amenities, good breakfast, nice (helpful) service. We wanted to extend the stay but there were no vacancies.

    I do not have a bad thing to say about our stay here!

    This was our first trip with our infant twins. Emanuele and his family made us feel so welcomed! I felt spoiled when they had two cribs and two high chairs with two bins of baby necessities all set up and ready for us. It was so nice to feel like someone else was thinking about the fine details. the breakfast was awesome every morning, and the grounds are absolutely beautiful! The AC in the rooms worked wonderfully, and made for a very comfortable sleep at night and during our babies’ naps. I would highly recommend staying here, especially if you are a young family.

    Everything was perfect for us!

    This B&B is absolutely beautiful and the hosts (father and son) are very kind and helpfull. It's a beautiful big house with clean and spacious rooms, nice beds and a great breakfast! The garden was absolutely stunning, with a separate parking for the car. The neighbourhood is very quiet en desolated. You'll need a car to get to the city center and further. Grazie mille Francesco e Gabriel !

    There were some people from the B&B who talked until 1pm close by our room. As Francesco has a list of things to tell his guests when they check-in, we would like to suggest that he adds to his list the fact that people should be aware that after 10 or 11 pm, they should be aware of their neighbours and not speak loudly outside or in their bedrooms.

    Excellent B&B. Francesco and Gabriel are fantastic hosts. The property is very welcoming and the garden very pleasant. We were able to check in early which was appreciated as we travel with our motorcycle. The bike was parked just in front of our bedroom and the property has a secure gate. The room was spacious, impeccably clean and the bed very comfortable. As for the breakfast, you get to choose what you want (juices, fruit, yogurt, ham, cheese, coffee, tea, bread, croissant...). We took the bus from the bus terminal (around 1.5Km away by foot from the property) to go to Taormina: We recommend this option as 1 - it is cheap (3 euros per adult for 2 way trip) 2 - you won't have the traffic and difficulty parking in Taormina who was already very busy mid-May. We were able to pay cash in the bus.

    The hosts are incredible. They helped me to be at the train station on time in the early morning hours, which I really appreciate. An amazing location with a wonderful view towards Etna. A beautiful orchard with a lot of lemon and mango trees. The breakfast was great as well. We really enjoyed our stay. Grazie mille! Just one thing. Google makes the incorrect route how to get to Villa from the train station. If you travel without a car, the journey will take about 30 min, not 13min as Google advised.

    There were many mosquitos in the evening! We wanted to go for a walk, but it was impossible. The windows in the room had mosquito screens though. You are dependent on the car (but we knew that).

    The B&B is run by a family. Everyone was very nice and helpful. The beautiful villa is located in a quiet area with a view to Etna. It has a wonderful and very large garden and there is private free parking. The breakfast was great, there was a lot of choice and you ordered everything the day before. We can highly recommend this B&B!
