If you ever want to stay in Giardini Naxos and have a great apartment with an excellent view onto the ocean and almost feel the waves hitting the shore, then look no further. If you like good hosts who can give you tips and actually help you, then it is here you want to stay. If you want to be next to the best cafe, in this case Cavallaro and its tasty specialties, and buy things in the local stores and have a fish vendor (LeoMare) right next to you, I can tell you me and my girlfriend had a wonderful time. Really, it was just great. It is also easy to get around to Taoromina, Isola Bella and Catania, we also took the train to Syrakusa and had a nice guided tour with Gianfranco to the newer craters of the Etna. Also the Bus to the airport is easy to fetch.
P.S.: I did not know Enzo nor anyone or anything before coming to this magnificent place. And we want to go back, subito :) Grazie Mille!
