We had an amazing stay at Maria Paolas. Upon arrival we were offered a nice espresso and given a tour of the property. Maria Paola is very kind and will help you with anything you might need in our case we could borrow a sun umbrella for the beach and a backpack for our trip to etna something we did not expect but which shows how good of a host she is. Other details that show the care that is put in are for example the wine opener in your room and the little outside showerhead to rinse any of your sandy beach attire. The beach is walking distance as are all the restaurants and main area of naxos. There is a fridge on the property so you can keep some drinks snacks in there to have aperitivo on the terrace or by the pool. The pool was actually a great place to enjoy some of the last sunlight. If your are visiting giardini naxos I would definitely advice going here! We for sure would love to come back on a next visit.
