We were delighted with Giardini Naxos and our stay in Miriam’s suite. We hadn’t actually realized we had booked Giardini Naxos thinking we had booked Taormina and we were so glad we did. We had a fantastic ocean view with the small yachts mooring in the bay, sunrises and sunsets, lots to look at. (We actually sat a lot on the shelf, better view) as the patio is small. Morning walks along the waterfront, food market just a block away with good deli and wine. Good swimming just across the road. Train station a ten minute walk and a 10 minute bus up to Taormina (very tourist busy) GN very quiet and layed back. **Note Miriam’s suite is a steep second floor walk up with a very narrow spiral staircase from the main level to the suite. The kitchen was complete, coffee maker was great, bed was comfy and shower was good. We would totally recommend Miriam’s suite.
