The perfect B&B. Wonderful, clean room, great pool, and a stunning garden full of fruit and flowers. The location is great for a short walk to the seafront at Giardini Naxos (where - small negative - the beaches are mostly dominated by private clubs renting out sun loungers, and the restaurants are not particularly exciting). Alternatively you can take the 20 minute bus ride up to Taormina - and feel smug that while you are enjoying the same beautiful town, the tourists there are probably paying two or three times as much for their boring hotel, while you will return to the sanctuary of the gorgeous and extremely well priced Avocado at the end of the evening. All the gushing reviews about Maria herself are true - warm, generous and funny. She treated all the guests we saw with the same exceptional attention, while her wonderful stories transitioned seemlessly between Italian, French, German, English and even Swedish, depending on who she was speaking to. Enjoy your stay!
