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.

Great breakfast, lovely pool and very well looked after building. Always plenty of beds by the pool and we felt very well looked after. All of the staff were lovely. There is a private beach with a small charge for sunbeds and parasols but lots of space and a lifeguard on duty so well worth it. It was quiet and very relaxing. The food by the pool was very good. A short walk to the closest restaurants , bus stop and wee supermarket. Good transport links. We would definitely return.

Location is great and within easy walking distance to a supermarket and lovely restaurants. The pool area and surrounding gardens are beautiful. Everything is scrupulously clean both inside and outside.

Staff were very congenial, and the pool area was excellent, with more than adequate seating around the pool, and with necessary shaded areas. Wide range of continental breakfast options, spoilt by the lack of "proper" coffee (instant coffee in the machine!) in Italy - the home of coffee afficionados. Very close to several very local, non-chain restaurants, and half-an-hour walk to the main marine promenade in Giardini Naxos. Good base for Taormina, Savoca, Forza d'Agro and Fuemifreddo, but taxi needed, as the whole coast is very developed and there are probably more cars per square kilometre here than downtown New York City.

The hotel is stylish with a lot of green and a nice garden full of flowers! The pool is amazing, quite big, clean and very deep (from 1.20m to 3.5m deep - take that into consideration when with small kids). We were there with our 3 year old son and he enjoyed it very much. The restaurant by the pool serves only pizzas and some snack-like food and works for few hours a day. The location of the hotel is great - few steps from a big nice sandy beach, and a lot of small bars and restaurants around , but have in mind that if you want to do some sightseeing you should have a car and than it is perfect : 15’ to Taormina old town , 45’ to Catania, 1h15 to Suracusa, 1h15’ to Etna… so that you can male morning sightseeing tpurs and in the late afternoon stil catch some pool time or beach time. Also a plus of this hotel is the breakfast - it is not the sweet italian type but there is a variety of food including eggs and cheese and salami, cereals, fresh fruit and offcourse a lot of sweets :)

The hotel was beautiful. Lovely location near to the beach. About a 20 min walk into the town and a good selection of restaurants nearby

We had a wonderful time and amazing hospitality at this hotel (the current hotel booking score definitely not reflect what we saw and felt). The staff is very friendly and welcome, but I have to mention the hotel owner Mr John that his attitude, professionalism and approach made this vacation as an amazing one. About the hotel, very cleaned, located 5 min drive from Taormina and next the hotel there are several restaurant and beach. There is a very large good & cleaned swimming pool with bar access from the inside pool. The hotel restaurant serves a special delicious menu. Very convenient parking area for 10 euro only. I am strongly recommended this hotel and for sure will arrive there again.

We like the atmosphere and vibe at the hotel. Also, the swimming pool area felt like an oasis, which was very appealing. The fitness room was also nice. Friendly staff.
