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.
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.
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.
Silvio is an amazing host! He prepared the best breakfasts and was super detailed with the customers. I almost lost my bus to the station and he took me in the car making me not losing it. The B&B was super cleaned, well located near the bus station a few minutes away from taormina, gole de alcantara and the volcano. The center of the town is beautiful and the beach is really close to the hotel, honestly we couldn’t have a better experience
Well-situated, specious 2 bedroom apartment, 2 minutes walk to the shore. Comfy beds. Really good place to discover Taormina and Giardini Naxos. Owner is very kind and friendy, easy to discuss everything in english. We had a great time there. If everyone gonna travel to this wonderfull part of Sicily, we definitely recommend this place. We were here to dive, and every morning it was easy to get to the port.
This is like you are coming to your families house in Sicily. Maria was the sweetest host ever! i had a 9 am flight and she prepared a sandwich for me so i can have breakfast. How thoughtful is that!
If you like more cozy and intimate place to stay this is it! Naxos doesnt have much to offer as location in my opinion though.
For the remote workers. WIFI was AMAZING. I held zoom meetings.
Diana made sure that despite my late arrival, I can comfortably check in; the apartment is not only clean and at a good location, but all the amenities are available someone wouldn't even expect in a 5 star hotel. Diana provided me with a LOT of food for breakfast too, and even with a home made lemon cake. This definitely was one of my best stays I ever got on booking.com
The villa is located in a quiet and private area, not on the beach. 10-minute drive to the beach.
Gabriel and Francesco at the reception are very helpful and host like you are in their home. Parking is in the villa area. The breakfast is very tasty. A very beautiful garden with lots of trees just like in the pictures.
Highly recommend the villa.
The owners of the hotel went above and beyond to make our stay nice. The included breakfast was basic but the best we had on our stay in Sicily. We were able to keep our bags at the hotel, given beach towels and allowed to use a room to shower after checking out.
Excellent location just one street awsy from the main beach, but away from traffic.
Impeccable hygiene.
Very professional and flexible reception, we could check in right away and were treated friendly and openly (somewhat rare for Sicily).
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.
Nice proprietor & superb location beside beach & restaurants also great for exploring the beautiful areas of Sicily. Lovely breakfasts with selection of pastries, cakes, selection of fresh fruit, cheeses, meats etc
Hotel has great big territory, nice bars and restaurants, direct access to the beach , beautiful view on Etna. 15 min walk to marina part of Giardini Naxos, with beautiful sunsets and restaurants Staff is helpful.
Davide was very nice. The villa is surrounded by citrus trees with a nice garden in a quiet area in Giardini Naxos. There is a beautiful view of Etna. The beach is only a few minutes away by car.
Everything! Very thoughtfully prepared, with all we could have wanted. The location was unbeatable and the attentive host was kind and helpful.
The best place I've stayed in, in Sicily.
Nicely done studio apartment with lots of high quality upgrades. Nice touches like wine and other welcome items. Full studio-size kitchen. Close to the beach. Awesome bakery next door.
The breakfast unbelievably good!! Sweet an salty!! The beach and bus stop to Taormina was close by. Free parking in front of the apartment. But the best thing were the lovely hosts!!!!
Everything! Pancrazio is such a grate person, I loved his humor and jokes 😁, the breakfast is amazing and we hope to visit Invito al viaggio in our next trip to Sicily. Grazie Mille!
A beautifully maintained family run hotel with exceptional service from all of the staff. Located in a quiet area of Giardini Naxos but within easy reach of the resort and beach.
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.
Cozy apartment. Host is very friendly and responsive. So close to the beach , 2 min . Good restaurants near and close to Taormina and Isabel beach even in food, 25-30 min.
