I stayed in Giardini-Naxos for nearly a week and simply loved it! The beach is literally down the street! Giulio’s parent Lina and Salvino were my hosts. They were there to greet me and even offered to drop me off to they train station at the end of my stay. The also offered an abundance of suggestions for activities to do while staying there. I visited Taormina, Mount Etna and Alcantara and enjoyed many lovely restaurants on the beach and in Taormina. The best was when they invited me over for a cup of coffee and walked to a lovely beach 15 minutes away that was secluded and all I could hear was the waves. They knew I was seeking a calm place to relax and they definitely brought me to the right place. I am very grateful for their hospitality and would absolutely recommend staying here to all!
