Beautiful property immersed in the countryside, splendid garden that invites relaxation among the lemon trees. Friendly and attentive family management. Rich breakfast, also with local products, with a wide choice to be made the evening before, comfortably online on a dedicated portal. The sea is also reachable on foot but to visit the most beautiful beaches it is, of course, necessary to move by car.

Perfect stay in Giardini Naxos, very friendly and attentive welcome. Excellent breakfast (to be ordered the day before with precision). Owners accommodating for breakfast time if necessary (especially for early departure to Mount Etna). Beautiful citrus and olive garden. Good location, quiet, to visit Taormina, enjoy the beaches of Giardini Naxos and go hiking in the Etna park.

Here, after staying here I didn't want to leave anymore! Spectacular view of Mount Etna, beautiful garden breakfast. Rich breakfast with many options. The friendliness of the managers who welcomed us immediately. In fact, the best structure of my stay in Sicily!

Villa Maria Giovanna is a stunning and enchanting place. Extremely well-kept and the family who runs it are wonderful people attentive to the little things and with a special care for all the guests. Being their guests is like feeling at home. Peace and serenity reign. Congratulations to Francesco, his children and grandchildren.

What was promised in the description was exceeded. The B&B Villa Maria Giovanna is run by an extremely friendly family that can provide the best tips for exploring the area and dining at fine restaurants. A beautiful garden is maintained daily, making you feel like you're in the Garden of Eden. Breakfast is tailored to your preferences. This minimizes food waste, which we found very sustainable. We found the homemade jam made from their own lemons and mandarins very tasty. We dream of more B&Bs like Villa Maria Giovanna and hope to find more of them.

Exceptional! We were contacted before arrival for precise directions and then warmly welcomed by Emanuele. He immediately provided us with excursion tips for the area and recommended great restaurants. Afterwards, we were given a tour of the huge garden with exotic mango, avocado, lemon, pistachio, and medlar trees. For breakfast, there were homemade juices and jams from the senior chef and of course fruits, but you could also have cereals, mortadella, salami, and cheese. Simply superb! The absolute highlight is the view of Mount Etna. An unforgettable stay.

Excellent property, centrally located yet in a peaceful setting. Surrounded by greenery, breakfast is served in the garden overlooking Mount Etna in the morning. Mr. Francesco, the owner of the villa, welcomed us as soon as we arrived, seating us and explaining, with a map in hand, all the places and cities to visit, as well as restaurants and beaches.\n\nHe was always ready to give us advice and directions on everything for every question or curiosity we had.\n\nThe same goes for his 2 sons who served breakfast in the morning, with whom we chatted about this and that and they also suggested places and locations to visit.\n\nWe were advised very well and felt like we were at home! I can say that it couldn't have gone better!

It was a pleasure to stay there! Very friendly people. From the terrace you have a direct view to the Etna, the breakfast is delicious, the rooms are very clean and nice. And next to the house there is a nice garden. And the self made Limoncello is a great end of the day.

Cinque stelle non bastano. C'è ne vorrebbe una sesta. Un vero piccolo paradiso di gentilezza, con giardino bellissimo, quasi un giardino botanico, con camere nuovissime, arredate con ottimo gusto e con tutti i comfort. Francesco, "il Professore" e i suoi figli riescono a farti sentire davvero in famiglia. Un'ottima colazione, servita all'aperto, in giardino, ed una voglia di aiutarti a trascorrere dei giorni indimenticabili in questo meraviglioso angolo di Sicilia completano il tutto. Seguite i consigli del Professore per le escursioni, i ristoranti, la spiaggia (Pirata Beach, vi vengono a prendere con un pulmino) e non potrete che vivere dei momenti indimenticabili. La passione e l'amore per il proprio lavoro sono tangibili, ti dispiace davvero partire. Le zanzare ci sono, ma anche le zanzariere, così come il caldo si fa sentire, ma ci sono i condizionatori. Alcune camere sono a livello giardino, altre al primo piano, tutte con terrazzino, alcune con vista splendida. Non c'è una pecca, se non il fatto che le vacanze finiscono e devi partire, ma con la speranza di tornare presto. Grazie a tutti voi, abbiamo passato dei giorni bellissimi. Non accettano carte di credito, se non tramite PayPal, ma si può pagare anche con bonifico bancario.

Sono stati i giorni più belli della mia vacanza di questo anno. Struttura spaziosa, un giardino stupendo! Meglio di qualsiasi parco botanico! Pulitissimo e tutto pensato per gli ospiti. Un mondo attorno da visitare! Il mare è a 10 minuti da villa. Ti senti benvoluto e amato! La colazione ogni giorno un pò diversa, cose genuine e fatte in casa. Un cannolo vero siciliano l'ho mangiato li! Cordialità dei proprietari rimane nel cuore! Abbiamo deciso di tornare ancora!

Gentilezza, cortesia e professionalità è la loro caratteristica. Struttura eccellente circondata dal verde e da un fantastico panorama. Servizi di altissima qualità! La cortesia dei proprietari non ha pari per non parlare della squisita granita alle fragole preparata direttamente dal Signor Francesco. A presto.

Abbiamo scelto questa struttura perché vicinissima alla nostra spiaggia preferita. Il B&B è facilmente raggiungibile dall'uscita della autostrada. Nelle vicinanze c'è anche un supermercato. La struttura ha un parcheggio privato, all'interno di un bellissimo giardino di agrumi, limoni, soprattutto, con cui il Prof. re Francesco prepara un ottimo limoncello, a disposizione degli ospiti, per concludere una splendida giornata di sole e mare. La camera, accogliente, con bagno privato e balcone, è stata "raffreddata" per accogliere al meglio il nostro arrivo accaldato nella meravigliosa Sicilia. La colazione viene servita nel meraviglioso giardino. Un buffet abbondante e predisposto con cura, varia dal dolce al salato. Cornetti e pane fresco. Torte al limone e cioccolato, preparate in casa. Marmellate agli agrumi fatte in casa. Fette biscottate. Frutta secca. Cereali. Tisane. Caffè. Latte. Caffè d'orzo. Cappuccino, salumi e formaggi, frutta e chi più ne ha più ne metta. Ma soprattutto i buonissimi cannoli preparati freschi, dal nostro carissimo padrone di casa. Assolutamente da consigliare e da tornare.

Se vuoi vivere l'esperienza del paradiso terreno, devi andarci assolutamente. Scenario da togliere il fiato! Posto incantevole, camere bellissime e con tutti i confort. Coccolato dai proprietari, baciato dal sole, estasiato dalla pace dell'agrumeto in cui sorge la struttura. Andarci, è una delle cose che nella vita bisogna fare. Top.

Abbiamo avuto, io e mia moglie, il piacere di usufruire (purtroppo per solo 2 notti !) della struttura in B&B "Villa Maria Giovanna" dal 24 settembre al 26. Devo dire che, dall'accoglienza al commiato, la famiglia Salomone ha superato alla grande gli standards a cui eravamo abituati confrontando altre molteplici esperienze passate in strutture B&B. Non mi voglio soffermare decantando la pulizia, la camera, le colazioni ottime; ma sulla grande disponibilità e pazienza del "capofamiglia" ad accompagnarci a visitare tutto il suo straordinario giardino e a sentire il suo orgoglioso attaccamento e dedizione a ogni pianta grande o piccola, le sue spiegazioni dettagliate di chi conosce a fondo la natura di cui si è circondato, della lotta e della fatica a mantenerla bella. Molte grazie signor Salomone io e mia moglie ci siamo sentiti come coccolati come lei sa ben fare con tutte le sue bellissime piante.
