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.

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.

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.
The hotel is nice. It had everything you need, and had spa. We stayed there only for couple of days. Located in calm and quiet area, only 20 minutes of drive from Taormina. It had its own parking space, so you don’t have to think where to park. As soon as we arrived, the cool receptionist Salvo (Salvatore) welcomed us with friendly smile and gave us an awesome tips and guided us with everything. When you meet awesome people like this at service, make you want to come back👍 that’s what made it a great stay👍Grazie mille
This place is amazing. First we planned to stay jus one night, but after seeing this amazing atmosphere we stayed for two nights. First of all rooms are so nice, clean and comfortable, bathroom’s clean everything just right and the view is just amazing. Second, location is absolutely terrific to visit Taormina and reach Etna. Thirdly, breakfast was so delicious, and even had gluten free options. And of course the owner was soo nice and helpful. It was definitely the best visited place in all Sicily.
The property was at the end of a point in Giardini Naxos. Right across from the ocean, with shopping and restaurants nearby. The restaurant below the rooms was fabulous! The most amazing gnocchis I’ve ever had. One of the best things I ate over 34 days in Sicily. The host was very accommodating. The rooms were extremely modern and very well appointed. They were clean and the bed was heaven. There was also a rooftop terrace with views of the ocean and Taormina. Quite lovely. Would highly recommend.
Perfect location, giardini naxos beachfront, sandy clean beach (remember, taormina has only unpleasant rocks beach), worldclass sea view from the room's terrace, sunbeds included (get the superior room, it's a must!), bus to taormina is 5 minutes walk away and then 15 minutes drive, very good breakfast, italian and european, the food at the restaurant is extremely good and as a guest you have 20 percent discount, the staff is very educated and helpful, I highly recommend this hotel 😍
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
Location was perfect, right on the beach and close to all restaurants , supermarket , ... The apartment is really well equipped , very clean. Our host, Andrea, was very helpful , he went extra mile to find out information about our return flight as union strike was announced in Italy on that day. The list of places to visit he prepared for his guests was very informative and I suggest to visit Gole di Alcantara from the list.
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!
Definitely the best of our stays in Sicily this year. Great, welcoming host, absolutely fantastic breakfast and what a garden on the roof! Room very spacious with blooming terrace, bathroom well maintained and properly cleaned. Beachfront about 15 min walk away (on safe streets pavements, that's not always given in Sicily), and not very far to Taromina if you're looking to visit. Would recommend.
Very comfortable hotel beside the sea, very close to bus station to Taormina (15 min) Catania and AirPort. You have a LOT of nice beaches (paied and unpaid) and restuarants.
Friorella atreception was so helpfull, and sesrched about transport and the times for different activities. So nice breakfast with sea view at terrace.
An oasis in which to enjoy all the delights of Sicily. A wonderful host, with the best of breakfasts we enjoyed during or travels. The addition of home made pizzas on our first night, made by Davide and served outdoor on the terrace was a truly special occasion. Lovely pool with great views of Etna.
Beautiful, modern accommodation. Very comfortable and exceptionally clean. Our host was very friendly & accomodating. Across from the beach and close to shopping and restaurants. The included breakfast at Tutto Gelato was delicious. Thank you for giving us a wonderful memory!
It was really a great value for the money, just few steps from the beach. The bed and pillows were really comfortable, the breakfast in the cafe bar was good (although there was just pastry option – but that's nothing new in Sicily). The room was older but very clean.
Comfortable, quiet and secure apartment close to Naxos beach. Easy access to Taormina via bus that stops 5 min walk from apartment. Very friendly and helpful host~ thank you Marcello.
The staff was very helpful and kind. The breakfast was good. The location is great, right on the beach and near restaurants and the hotel and facilities are new and in good condition.
We recommend this hotel to everyone. Affordable prices, very friendly service. Incredibly clean rooms, especially in Italy. The best breakfasts in all Sicily !
The location is perfect…maybe the only hostel on Sicily right next to the beach. The staff is great too and you have everything close by what you need.
