Elena and Gianfranco were hosting us during our stay in the "original loft" in giardini-naxos and they were the loveliest hosts ever!!! They are incredibly caring and hospitable!! Elena gave us a lot of great tips for the area, also regarding restaurants and cafes! (Don't miss a granita with pana and brioche at the cafe cavallero!!! ) - the loft is amazing - clean, spacious with beautiful decoration and design AND seriously its situated just a few steps to a cute beach! There is also a bus going to Taormina, 1min walk away :) - just perfect! We really loved our stay there, it was so relaxing and elena and gianfranco were the best hosts we could imagine! THANK YOU SO MUCH
