So glad we chose Villa Daphne for our first trip to Sicily. Everything about the hotel was perfect. Our room (230) had a huge balcony overlooking the pool, was spacious and immaculately clean. The hotel staff - Claudia, Azzurra, Vincenzo, to name a few - couldn’t do enough for us. Breakfast was fresh, varied and plentiful. The proprietor lives next door and was always on hand. As we didn’t have a car, the main bus terminal of Recanati just 50 metres away was a real plus. Fares were very cheap - €1.9 to Taormina (20 mins) and €6 to Catania airport (1 hour) - and buses were frequent. Trips can be organised at Reception. The area of Recanati has several restaurants within a 5 minute walk (can highly recommend O’Neil’s and Valentino’s), or the Lungomare (beachfront) of Giardini Naxos is 20 mins walk away with a plethora of cafés and restaurants. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Villa Daphne and we’ll definitely be back!

Very friendly and efficient STAFF (especially Claudia!), who kindly allowed us to check in and out early. A very clean room, comfortable, mini bar, air conditioning, with a balcony and view onto the pool. Excellent choice at breakfast, fast service in bar. Right by main bus stop with regular service to Catania airport (50 mins) and local to railway station (5 min) and Taormina (25 min). Recommended!

Hardly anything at all. The pool perhaps a bit small for keen swimmers, but perfect to cool off in and has a jacuzzi function.

The staff members were exceptionally kind and went above and beyond my expectations! The hotel is well-organized, with comfortable rooms, an open-access swimming pool, and is close to the seaside. The breakfast is intercontinental and takes into account intolerances and gluten-free products. The hotel is well connected with public transports to/from Catania or Taormina. I would recommend it.

I experienced problems with the Wi-Fi connection during my stay.

The hotel was beautifully & stylishly decorated & spotlessly clean. The pool area was fabulous. Claudia, on reception, was exceptional. Very friendly, helpful and informative. We enjoyed a delicious breakfast each day which offered plenty of options. Being close to the bus terminal was a real bonus enabling us to hop into Taomina & Catania very easily. We were able to catch the bus back to Catania airport at a fraction of the cost of a taxi. There is a supermarket close by which was also handy.

I would have liked to see tea & coffee making facilities in the bedroom.

The small boutique hotel is very friendly and the staff are professional and attentive to your every need. It's a very personal service and the staff seem to know who you are and very rarely do you get asked for your room number. I liked this very much as it differentiates from the bigger hotels and it makes for a relaxing holiday. We had a special birthday meal arranged, with two of our party having a Sicilian cookery lesson and preparing the lunch for the party. Such great fun and a special thanks to the manager for making my partner's 60th birthday so memorable. The front desk arranged a boat trip with Prosecco and Arancini for the party of 8 and this was fantastic and better value than was offered down at the quayside and so was the Godfather tour which they also arranged for us. Breakfast was comprehensive with a buffet-style offering but also very leisurely taken outside on the terrace above the pool or inside the hotel if you preferred.

The hotel is not in the main part of Giardini Naxos, although if you are fit a 15 min walk helps to burn off some of those extra calories accumulated at breakfast !!. This wouldn't put me off booking this hotel again as I think being a little off the main part added to our stay. The hotel is convenient for the hop-on hop-off bus which goes up to Taormina and the main part of Giardini if you don't fancy the walk.

Our time at Villa daphne was so perfect. The pool was lovely and relaxing a real haven in a busy august. The location is perfect/ just a few mins walk to the beach and a bit quieter than the main streets of naxos. The room was clean and comfortable with excellent and much needed aircon. The thing that really makes the hotel is the hard working staff. Claudia in particular was so welcoming and helpful throughout our stay.All of the restaurant staff were so kind, and efficient - always making sure we had everything we needed! The standard of service is excellent. Our stay was really faultless and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend! Thank you so much villa daphne 😊😊

Not applicable - we liked everything about it and all of the staff were amazing

It was a lovely little Italian hotel, lovely facilities, very clean and the staff were very helpful. Breakfast was great, plenty of choice and a very good gluten free section. The location was great, very near a main bus stop and a nice walk in to the centre.

No kettle in the room! I should checked this!

The location is very close to the bus station and there are many excellent restaurants around the hotel and it is ten minutes walk from the waterfront of the city the hotel is very clean, quiet and beautiful the breakfast was sufficient and excellent the staff is very friendly and helpful And a great welcome It will be a great choice when returning for me

Nothing..Except for the sleeping pillows, they should be better It would be nice if there was a sauna

Great little hotel with very friendly and efficient staff. Very good and comprehensive breakfasts. Lovely pool with good bar menu. Nicely located away from bustle of Taormina but beaches and many good restaurants within easy walking distance. We thoroughly enjoyed our week and would highly recommend this exceptional hotel

Nothing

Well located hotel close to the bus station and within easy walking of restaurant's and a supermarket. Clean and well tended. Staff helpful and attentive. Car parking offered is covered parking under the hotel.

Would been nice to have real coffee at breakfast rather than machine coffee, especially for a 4 star hotel.
