We had a fantastic stay in Nello's & Delias apartment in Giardini-Naxos; the view from the balcony was the best ever experienced! Upon arrival, Nello & Delia greeted us in the apartment and gave gifts of cookies and homemade marmelades, which was very appreciated by our daughters. (And by us parents, of course! ) In general, the apartment was even nicer than we could tell from the pictures, and very spacious. And once again; the view - spectacular! The bedrooms are large, the bathroom is newly refurbished and the living room opens up to the ocean through the balcony.

Giardini-Naxos was a very quiet and nice village; we found a favourite beach just a 5 minute walk from the apartment which we spent most of our days on. There are several nice restaurants in the area, and the apartment is situated upon La Bussola with very friendly personnel and good food. (The bast carbonara in the world according to our oldest daughter.) To the left of the entrance to the apartment, there is a gelateria. Italian icecream... :-) We found a couple of supermarkets, a meat shop, sea food shop, fruit/vegetable shop so if you like cooking, there is no problem finding ingredients. And the kitchen in the apartment was great!

Nello was very helpful in the practical arrangements regarding letting us in in the apartment - perfect timing for us arriving from Sweden on Friday lunch - and in making us feel at home in the aparment. When we had questions around the apartment and on things to do, he always answered within an hour. This time we really just needed to settle down on the beach and focus on bathing and relaxing, but next time we come will definitely take Nello´s generous offer to take us sightseeing in his own car!

To summarize - we had the best October week ever; the apartment exceeded our expecations and Giardini-Naxos delivered sun, calmness and good food. And Nello is a very friendly person who really made us feel at home. We can definitely recommend anyone to rent this apartment!
