Beautiful gardens, lovely pool and smart, clean accommodation are all reasons to stay at Avocado B&B, but what really makes this place is the wonderful host, Maria Paola. Born in Taormina, not only does she make a banging breakfast (cured meats, cheeses, scrambled eggs, homemade bread, granola, fresh fruit, local honey, coffee, juice, yoghurt....), but is also a font of all local knowledge and an absolute pleasure to chat with.
We spent a few nights here with our 8 month old baby and wished we could have stayed longer. The rooms are set in lovely gardens on the edge of the small town of Giardini Naxos – just a short drive from Taormina and less touristy.
There is unfortunately a noisy road that runs alongside the property and is the only blight on an otherwise tranquil, friendly and professionally-run spot. All in all good value for money, lovely place, and FABULOUS host, would highly recommend! Georgia, Seb & Willow x
