Beautiful Giardini Naxos
We are based in the lively seaside resort of Giardini Naxos, at the foot of Taormina. The resort has grown from a quiet fishing village into a busy town, mostly due to its prime location overlooking the mighty Mount Etna. The main activity revolves around the relaxing seafront with several lidos providing easy access to the beach. The harbour is the place to go for cafes and a number of seafood restaurants.
Beach or Pool days
Our hotel is ideally located by the pebbly beach. Here we can spend our days relaxing on one of the hired sun loungers and sip a refreshing drink. When we are feeling peckish there are a number of restaurants to satisfy our hunger. Alternatively we can spend our days by one of the swimming pools that the hotel has to offer, one of which is Olympic sized, the choice is truly ours.
Out and About
Sicily is the largest island in the Mediterranean, and it offers more than just the beaches and hotel pools. A trip here would not be complete without visiting the beautiful Mount Etna. Going up is a spectacular journey as the mountain’s landscape constantly changes. Another must see is Taormina which lies on a terrace of Monte Tauro in a fabulous position overlooking the sea, right opposite Mount Etna. A visit to the famous Greek Theatre which dates back to the 3rd Century BC is a must; the views of Etna are spectacular so don’t forget your camera!

It is possible to organize private excursions. The private excursions should be booked within 2 days before. The price will be calculated at the moment of the booking.
There is often confusion on the question of gratuities, since it frequently depends on the type of holiday, location and, of course, your attitude towards tipping, as to what is normally expected. In order to give you a rough idea, we have given appropriate guidance below.
Your Tour Leader will be on hand to offer advice or suggestions if required but gratuities are offered entirely at the sole discretion of the individual. We suggest a group collection to cover drivers, porters and hotel staff of €15.00 per week. Your Tour Leader will collect this on your behalf and distribute it accordingly, thus relieving you of the burden of who, when and how much to tip. The tipping of housekeeping will be left to your individual discretion (a small amount left in your room on departure should cover this and would be much appreciated). As is customary, ‘the hat’ will be passed around for the driver and guide on all optional excursions. For any meals that are not included in your itinerary, or taxi fares, your Tour Leader can advise of an appropriate add on.
Casual, cotton, lightweight daytime wear is the order of the day. Comfortable shoes are a must for sightseeing. Smart casual clothes will be ideal for the evening, with the emphasis throughout being informal but with no shorts or vests in the restaurants in the evenings.
Please note that it is recommended for the Etna excursion that you wear closed shoes, long trousers and have a waterproof jacket.
Please note that our hotel is spread out and there can be a lot of walking required between the rooms, restaurants, bars and pool.
