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.
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!
Exclusive hidden villa near Taormina and Etna. Owners are so kind and helpful. It's most important. You will be definitely sad when leave them as we were. Very tasty breakfast where you can choose one day before what you want. The homemade jams from Francesco are absolutely amazing.
This B&B is truly 10 from 10 and better than 5 stars hotels.
Huge recommendation for you!!
Thanks for all services.
Great job!
Comfortable room with big, bright bathroom, fridge and balcony. The breakfast pastries were the best we ate in Sicily, absolutely delicious! Our host was kind enough to let us leave our luggage and take a quick shower after long journey on a hot day even though we were earlier than our check-in time. The beach, city centre and bus stop to Taormina/ Catania/ airport were close too.
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 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!
Perfect quiet stay around meadows and trees. It was our last days in Sicily and we felt like in a fairytale for many reasons:
- host spoke perfect English, explained us everything about house, surroundings, how to reach places, what to visit plus we just could simply talk together
- big and comfortable apartment with terrace
- horses freely walking around you
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.
We stayed over 2 nights before heading to Taormina in October. The season was ending so hotel was not fully operational. Beach is good for the area but the sea was quite rough. Small Pool still open but we didn’t use it. Large pool closed. Most guests were “all-inclusive” package deals. Breakfast was ok.
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.
Everything was wonderful! View through the window, the roar of the sea, like relentless live music ... Fabulous!
Very good location - 100 meters from a bus stop with sights. Very good organization and approachable attitude.
Thank you for the good experience of hosting in 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.
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.
Everithing was perfect. Owners are very nice, friendly and helpful. If we go again to this region we defenitely will choose this place to stay again. Breakfast was delicious and the best on the whole Sicily!
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.
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.
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!
