Hotel Palladio, Giardini Naxos, Messina

The Hotel Palladio, Giardini Naxos. This lovely family run hotel lies on the eastern coastline of Sicily. Set along the seafront road, with the beach right out front and with spectacular views of the bay, this Giardini Naxos hotel makes for a terrific base in Sicily. The building was originally constructed in the 1900s, but has now been sympathetically restored and remodelled - traditional local materials and crafts have been used, while offering all the modern comforts and facilities you want from a Sicilian holiday hotel.

All the bedrooms at this Giardini Naxos hotel are air conditioned and have private bathrooms. Each is individually decorated, with its own colour scheme and a unique combination of linen, curtains and furnishings. There is a free beach right outside the hotel as well as two well-equipped private beaches. And the hotel runs a regular bus service in to the town of Taormina, three kilometres from here. There are also regular buses to Catania-Fontanarossa Airport and Taormina-Giardini train station.

Bedrooms are a choice of double or triple, with or without sea view, quadruple or suite. Front desk services include WiFi internet access, a tour desk, bicycle or car hire. Nearby activities include the beach of course, snorkelling, diving or windsurfing. The hotel has its own library. Breakfast can be taken each morning on the veranda overlooking the sea. This Giardini Naxos hotel offers a superb mix of local freshly prepared produce, and the restaurant offers its own unique interpretations of dishes based on the region's Sicilian and Arab traditions, using only fresh ingredients and, of course, fresh, locally caught, seafood.
