My recent stay at the Sant Alphio Garden Hotel & SPA was a truly wonderful experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff at the reception were incredibly friendly and helpful, going out of their way to make our stay as enjoyable as possible.
Not only did they offer a warm and welcoming greeting, but they also provided us with useful information about the hotel and the surrounding area. Joseph at the reception even helped us take care of a parking ticket issue that we encountered during our stay. They were accommodating and efficient throughout our stay.
Aside from the excellent service from the reception staff, the hotel was beautiful and peaceful with great views of the nearby Mount Etna and surrounding countryside. The rooms were very clean, with comfortable beds and all the necessary amenities.
Overall, I highly recommend the Sant Alphio Garden Hotel & SPA to anyone looking for a peaceful and comfortable stay in a beautiful location with top-notch service. The reception staff went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable, and we cannot wait to return in the future.

Breakfast in the buffet was delicious. But the service by the waiters was not the best. The staff of the reception was amazing, very friendly and helpful. They also have a shower you can use after your check-out in case you want to go to the beach and get the most out of your day.

The delicious breakfast, fresh croissants and puff pastry are the highlight of the menu. Hospitality, flexibility and kindness of the owners was amazing. The place is silent and near to the beach. This is a great set.
What you will probably enjoy more while at Hotel Nike are the amazing views of Taormina's Greek-Roman theatre and of Mount Etna, the highest active volcano in Europe.

Very nice hotel. Receptionist was the nicest person, thank you! Lava rocks were instead of regular beach, but impressive. Old building with antiques around, vintage furniture and so on. Breakfast was excellent, everything you need, blood orange fresh juice was mouth watering, eggs, salami, cheese and of course sweet Italian pastries. Quite place with stunning views!

I loved everything about this flat. Comfortable and big. Strong WiFi. Nice high ceilings. Wonderful host.
But the surroundings are just absolutely stunning. So wonderful to wake up in the morning and have a cup of coffee on the terrace with a view of the Etna and trees all around. And then to walk up to the village and being greeted by the horses and cats.
Very, very much recommended!

We used it as a cheap place to stay after spending the day in Taormina. This worked relatively well, there is a bus from the nearby train station that takes you to Taormina. Taormina is a very beautiful but very expensive tourist resort, so Giardini Naxos is a cheaper alternative. We were there off season so most of the restaurants were closed, but we found one that was open, which was within walking distance.

Giardini Naxos means beach, sun and short trips.
Giardini Naxos means beach, sun and short trips. It is an excellent resort. It is close to a lot attractions, with accessible beaches, a typical resort with a cute center with colorful buildings, with many accommodation facilities, numerous restaurants and cafes, from which you can choose. It would be ideal to rent a car to be able to explore the very spectacular surroundings: Castelmola, Isola Bella, Taormina, Etna, Acireale, Catania, Syracuse, Ortygia.

Picturesque beach resort with nice views over the bay and up to Taormina and Castelmola. Plenty of choices of beach clubs on the sea front. There were a couple of spots on the beach where you could sit for free but we preferred to pay €15-€20 for the added comfort of loungers and an umbrella in the beach clubs. Our favourite was Lido La Romantica as we thought their food and bar offering was the best. Lido Di Naxos is great for kids though as there is a good playground, which our toddler loved.
There were plenty of restaurants lining the seafront and a couple of bars for aperitifs. Our favourite bar was C'era cu C'era. Very refreshing limoncello spritz with generous measures!
We had a relaxing week, but there isn't an awful lot to see or do, so I think we may have been a little bored, had we stayed longer. We had stayed in Taormina the previous week and there's plenty to see and explore, there. It's only 20 minutes on the bus so I would recommend at least a day trip there if you are staying in Naxos.

Allows one to enjoy sea and sun bath on the beach and also visit beautiful Taormina, which can be easily reached by bus. Accommodation is more affordable than in Taormina and you are only 15-20 minutes away.

Pleasant, relatively quiet seaside resort with great bars,...
Pleasant, relatively quiet seaside resort with great bars, restaurants and beaches. Good connections by bus to Taormina, Catania , Siracusa and (if you're feeling more adventurous) Ragusa. Our regular "watering hole" was Il Baretto , on the front. Lovely cakes and ice cream , excellent coffee and very, very helpful staff. We also had evening drinks at the Lido di Naxos and particularly enjoyed the very talented young musician who played there on Saturday 26th September. The Saturday market was also good fun and a great place for bargain hunting.
The best thing about this accommodation is it's owner, who is very friendly and talkative, always ready to give you useful advices or just chat on any topic during the breakfast. :)
The room is nice and very clean.
The location is perfect. It may not seem obvious at first, but the access to the beach and restaurants in Giardini Naxos is very easy. Also there is a good bus connection to Taormina. And if you have a car, there is a free parking in the garage and you don't need to wander the narrow streets much to get to the highway.
Lovely family who runs the b&b. They had great dining recommendations. The place is very clean, spacious and quiet, even with our room on the ground floor facing the street.
The bedroom was nice and modern and the bed was very comfortable.
They also had a place to hang dry clothes outside of the window with clothes pins to keep them in place.
It's also less than a minute walk to the beach and we enjoyed cappuccino at the cafe looking out over the sea. Then we came back to have breakfast at the b&b.
Everything, it was like staying at your Italian Grandmother's house. Every unit, us set up to meet all of your needs, they have daily house keeping, Tv's in every room, hot shower, bathroom even has a heater on the wall. The host had coffee, snacks, fruit, meat, cheese and even milk in the frig. For the baby. He offered us information about the best way to get to local attractions. It is close to the beach and off the beaten path. We loved our stay..we wish it could have been longer!
The facilities that we use were excellent and the pool areas and outdoor bars were all excellent and the beach area was good although limited free sun beds was a little harsh to stomach on the beach area . Breakfast was good if you don’t like English breakfast but you have a good choice of continental and fruit and cakes . Overall a great base if it wasn’t so far away from the main area of Giardini Naxos , but you have some good restaurants nearby .
The experience as a whole was fantastic! The staff at the hotel are amazing and went out of their way numerous times to ensure we had the best trip possible! The views from the room and breakfast are outstanding and the breakfast itself is great. Location is brilliant too as you're close to the touristy area of Taormina but just far enough for a cheap bus ride in and in the perfect area for authentic Sicily!
At the end of 10 day road trip round Sicily we arrived in Giardini Naxos. The villa is magnificent, like stepping back in time to a more grand and romantic era but with every comfort. It was different to the usual , modern but characterless places we had stayed previously. This is a totally charming property, with spacious rooms and private grounds and view of Mt Etna.
I would definitely recommend this hotel! The staff was always so nice, available, and helpful. Our room was great -- always clean. We loved the hotel breakfast. The location was also perfect -- the hotel is on the beach and there are lots of restaurants to easily walk to. And it is a short walk to the bus station, which takes you to Taormina. Great experience here!
The room (Iona) was big and airy. Large comfortable bed and plenty of towels. The view was exceptional. directly in front of the sea. easy access to restaurants, beach and great location for visiting the east side of Sicily. Our welcome with Christina was friendly and informative and the check out was on time and without stress.
The reception staff were excellent, really friendly and really helpful. The rooms are big and beds are very large and comfortable. Restaurants start about 5 min walk away from the hotel and the shops about 10 min. Despite that the hotel is in a really quiet location, so you get the best of both worlds.
The room was beautiful and had everything we needed, the owner was really nice and friendly. Breakfast was the best one we had during the whole week (we stayed at different properties). Location was great, specially if you visit Sicily during the summer.
Great place, view to the sea, view to the Etna from the beach, nice water pool. Direct bus from Catania Airport to the Hotel for 5 euros per person, Taormina is near as well. Few restaurants near the hotel, O’neal is the best one, warm hello to Antonio!
Appartment is perfectly located for Giardini because it is close to everything you need in Sicily: gelato, canoli, pizza, pesce, beach, restorants, bus stop to Taormina and Catania/airport... Marco is great, he helped us a lot! Grazie mille!
We enjoyed our stay at the B&B. The host was really kind and helpful and gave us a lot of suggestions that made getting around easier. The room was comfy and the breakfast was delicious. The location was perfect and near the beach.
Location is near a beach and Taorima, which allows to visit this beautiful city via car in few minutes. Has a good parking right next to the location. The staff is friendly and responsive as they lended us ironing equipment.
Great hospitality, great perosnnel and amazing view from the room we got. The hotel was clean and it is one of the best hotels in Sicily. Special thanks for the hospitality from Filippo.

You can tell from other revues how lovely this hotel is , but it is the staff who make it exceptional.
5 stars to them for the care and kindness they show to customers.
Unobtrusive but always knowing what you need.
If there was any posibilities to gave more than 10 I whould. They are the greatest in Sicily, being very kind with the guests, also the location is spectacular - you can see Mount Etna from the garden.
The location was excellent. Loved the view of the beach and bay. The balcony was a plus. The bathroom spacious. I liked the separate room for dressing, closets, and bags.
Amazing view; quiet location in walking distance from the beach and restaurants, bars; spacious. Awesome pool. A very very nice and supportive landlord-Titti is just great!
