We spent a lovely week in Villa Giardini. Comfortable pool, good size for swimming located in very well kept sourroundings. Nice little pool bar where the staff was very serviceminded and helpful, we enjoyed some nice wine there and panini. The hotel is quite close to the beach and to a small mini marked in the direction of the beach with all the neccessary groceries. Water can fortunately be bought in the reception, were the staff was very nice and welcoming. Our spacious room was on the 3 floor, no lifts in the building, so we were prepared for stairs. The hotel was built in 1978 and last renovation was in 2004 and the rooms are definitively well overdue for a makeover into the 21’s Century. The bathroom was a little on the small side, the shower in particular. Would recommend removing the bide and adding to the shower area if doing any renovations. Also could use some more hooks in the bathroom to hang towel on. Our toilet also had tendency to keep flushing, so we had some fights with it to sease flushing.. The beds were comfortable, but the pillows just has to go! They were like sleeping on a flat slab, impossible to form or mold into any shape. The balcony had a great view over the pool, beach and ocean. And we could also see Taormina and Castelmola in the distance. It was very lovely, particulary in the night. All in all, we really enjoyed our stay here and have no reservations giving our reccomendation.
