Our stay in Giardini-Naxos at Maria's place was quite unexpectedly dramatic and stressful as out son was admitted to hospital. For this reason we did not have the chance to spend much time enjoying what is a lovely space, perfectly situated with a wonderful sea view. However, what can I say about Maria's hosting other than that it went well beyond what was expected, visiting us in hospital, speaking to doctors for us and generally checking in every day to make sure our son was okay. More than a perfect host and both her and her husband are lovely, kind people. We would most definitely stay with them again!
