My recent stay at the Sant Alphio Garden Hotel & SPA was a truly wonderful experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff at the reception were incredibly friendly and helpful, going out of their way to make our stay as enjoyable as possible.
Not only did they offer a warm and welcoming greeting, but they also provided us with useful information about the hotel and the surrounding area. Joseph at the reception even helped us take care of a parking ticket issue that we encountered during our stay. They were accommodating and efficient throughout our stay.
Aside from the excellent service from the reception staff, the hotel was beautiful and peaceful with great views of the nearby Mount Etna and surrounding countryside. The rooms were very clean, with comfortable beds and all the necessary amenities.
Overall, I highly recommend the Sant Alphio Garden Hotel & SPA to anyone looking for a peaceful and comfortable stay in a beautiful location with top-notch service. The reception staff went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable, and we cannot wait to return in the future.

The delicious breakfast, fresh croissants and puff pastry are the highlight of the menu. Hospitality, flexibility and kindness of the owners was amazing. The place is silent and near to the beach. This is a great set.
What you will probably enjoy more while at Hotel Nike are the amazing views of Taormina's Greek-Roman theatre and of Mount Etna, the highest active volcano in Europe.

Very nice hotel. Receptionist was the nicest person, thank you! Lava rocks were instead of regular beach, but impressive. Old building with antiques around, vintage furniture and so on. Breakfast was excellent, everything you need, blood orange fresh juice was mouth watering, eggs, salami, cheese and of course sweet Italian pastries. Quite place with stunning views!

I loved everything about this flat. Comfortable and big.
I loved everything about this flat. Comfortable and big. Strong WiFi. Nice high ceilings. Wonderful host.
But the surroundings are just absolutely stunning. So wonderful to wake up in the morning and have a cup of coffee on the terrace with a view of the Etna and trees all around. And then to walk up to the village and being greeted by the horses and cats.
Very, very much recommended!

We used it as a cheap place to stay after spending the day in Taormina. This worked relatively well, there is a bus from the nearby train station that takes you to Taormina. Taormina is a very beautiful but very expensive tourist resort, so Giardini Naxos is a cheaper alternative. We were there off season so most of the restaurants were closed, but we found one that was open, which was within walking distance.

Giardini Naxos means beach, sun and short trips.
Giardini Naxos means beach, sun and short trips. It is an excellent resort. It is close to a lot attractions, with accessible beaches, a typical resort with a cute center with colorful buildings, with many accommodation facilities, numerous restaurants and cafes, from which you can choose. It would be ideal to rent a car to be able to explore the very spectacular surroundings: Castelmola, Isola Bella, Taormina, Etna, Acireale, Catania, Syracuse, Ortygia.

Picturesque beach resort with nice views over the bay and up to Taormina and Castelmola. Plenty of choices of beach clubs on the sea front. There were a couple of spots on the beach where you could sit for free but we preferred to pay €15-€20 for the added comfort of loungers and an umbrella in the beach clubs. Our favourite was Lido La Romantica as we thought their food and bar offering was the best. Lido Di Naxos is great for kids though as there is a good playground, which our toddler loved.
There were plenty of restaurants lining the seafront and a couple of bars for aperitifs. Our favourite bar was C'era cu C'era. Very refreshing limoncello spritz with generous measures!
We had a relaxing week, but there isn't an awful lot to see or do, so I think we may have been a little bored, had we stayed longer. We had stayed in Taormina the previous week and there's plenty to see and explore, there. It's only 20 minutes on the bus so I would recommend at least a day trip there if you are staying in Naxos.

Allows one to enjoy sea and sun bath on the beach and also visit beautiful Taormina, which can be easily reached by bus. Accommodation is more affordable than in Taormina and you are only 15-20 minutes away.

Pleasant, relatively quiet seaside resort with great bars,...
Pleasant, relatively quiet seaside resort with great bars, restaurants and beaches. Good connections by bus to Taormina, Catania , Siracusa and (if you're feeling more adventurous) Ragusa. Our regular "watering hole" was Il Baretto , on the front. Lovely cakes and ice cream , excellent coffee and very, very helpful staff. We also had evening drinks at the Lido di Naxos and particularly enjoyed the very talented young musician who played there on Saturday 26th September. The Saturday market was also good fun and a great place for bargain hunting.
The best hotel we stayed in on our tour around Sicily. Very modern hotel with all the frills. Fantastic breakfast, the best we have had. Close to bus stop to Taormina. Close to lots of restaurants along beach front. A great place to relax and then getting bus for the day to Taormina which was an amazing place. We wished we had stayed at the hotel an extra night and done a day trip to Catania rather than spending a night in Catania. We could have got the bus to the airport from there.
10 min walk to where you can do boat tours
Well-situated, specious 2 bedroom apartment, 2 minutes walk to the shore. Comfy beds. Really good place to discover Taormina and Giardini Naxos. Owner is very kind and friendy, easy to discuss everything in english. We had a great time there. If everyone gonna travel to this wonderfull part of Sicily, we definitely recommend this place. We were here to dive, and every morning it was easy to get to the port.
The location of this hotel is perfect! Direct access to the sea, and walking distanse to the center of Giardini Naxos. The staff, especially in the restaurant, are very smiling an service-minded 🙂. The restaurant has a very tasty fish of the day and delicious pizzas. The bed was very comfortable, and the rooms were quiet at night. We hope to come back! Thank you!
Great place for families with small children. Next to the building there is a playground so my 3 year old had to go there three times a day :) Amazing view from the apartment, really close to the beach, great coffee/granita place nearby (Schizo Bar Gelateria), food was great in all the restaurants we checked. I loved Mediterraneao Guesthouse and Giardini Naxos.
In comparison with a lot of other apartments during our stay on Sicily we can’t see that many advantages of this accommodation. we had good contact with the owner, very friendly. her dad showed us the way to free parking. the accommodation is in walking distance of the center of Giardini Naxos and there is a good bakery next door.
We liked everything, the house is so beautiful and big, has two balconies with comfortable chairs, the bedroom was good and not too cold, but the best thing was the breakfast! I felt like I was in a 5 ⭐️ restaurant! There was fruit, tomatoes and cheese, bread and cakes, coffee, milk and juice, even so, banana pancakes!
Silvio's kindness and professionality. The room was spacious, very clean, comfortable. The place is very near the beach, yet in a tranquil area. Breakfast was generous and tasty. Silvio went to the extra mile in offering us every morning delicious sicilian fresh cakes! A great weekend away in Sicily. Grazie Silvio!
I liked the location, the fact that there was a bus station with direct connection to Taormina just outside the hotel. The size of the room was good, the bathroom was cleaned, the host was very helpful. There were even sandwiches and water supplied everyday. The b&b is one minute from the beach.
Beach, grocery store (Deco) restaurants, inexpensive shopping all in close proximity. Nicely appointed, modern appliances, nice art decor, a sliver of harbor to view between front row apartments. Reasonable parking on street, clothesline off a sunny balcony.
Great place, view to the sea, view to the Etna from the beach, nice water pool. Direct bus from Catania Airport to the Hotel for 5 euros per person, Taormina is near as well. Few restaurants near the hotel, O’neal is the best one, warm hello to Antonio!
Family own facility with extraordinary service ( better than in some 5 stars hotels I have stayed at). The location is prime and the rooms are nice and big and cozy. I would stay here again without hesitate.
Very clean, very friendly staff, food was fantastic. The hotel was close to the beach, had a great pool and had lots of sporting activities available, tennis, padel, table tennis, football and ping pong.
Great service. Comfy premium rooms. Awesome garden very convenient beach access and facilities. Even tough it's a big hotel you never get the feeling of it being too crowded or have to wait too long
Great location with a pool and beach just outside hotel. Very friendly staff and comfortable hotel. Clean rooms, fantastic sea view. Pirvate free parking on the other side of the street.
The breakfast unbelievably good!! Sweet an salty!! The beach and bus stop to Taormina was close by. Free parking in front of the apartment. But the best thing were the lovely hosts!!!!
The staff was very helpful and kind. The breakfast was good. The location is great, right on the beach and near restaurants and the hotel and facilities are new and in good condition.
