A very comfortable and immaculately kept apartment, complete with all amenities needed for a long stay (barring WiFi). The terrace is a great size and has a lovely view of the sea and coast line.
The location was ideal for me, as it was far enough inland to be away from the noise of Giardini, yet a short walk to the centre and beach. Giardini Naxos has some great beaches and abundant restaurants, but it is also very easy to hop on the bus to Taormina, as well as the station if you want to travel further out.
Gaetano was attentive and helpful, and kept in regular contact. There was a certain pressure to keep the apartment in good condition, which is understandable, but worth taking into account depending on your sensibilities, and your intentions for your stay.
Overall, fantastic value for money
