What an amazing hotel. Literally can't fault this place. It's everything you can ask for when looking for somewhere to stay. Probably our favourite hotel I've stayed in. There are two free parking spaces outside the hotel but you have to be lucky to get them which fortunately we were lucky every time to get one. Rooms are spacious, lovely bathroom. Very clean and also gets cleaned daily. There's a mini fridge with refreshments, (with a charge obviously) but it's reasonable. We had a street facing room with a balcony, but wasn't noisy at all. Breakfast was nice with a wide range of choices. And the pool area is nice and clean, although we didn't use the pool as we're beach people. You can sit outside too whenever if you want to have a drink during the day or evening and the bar also does food as well as drink. The beach is not far at all, within walking distance of the hotel, maybe a 10-15 min walk and there are bars and restaurants along the way as well as small a supermarket too. The bus stop is a 10 second walk from the hotel, which is very easy to get the bus to Taormina and back, or wherever you'd like to go. The staff are lovely and helpful, but I want to say a big thank you to Claudia on reception. What a genuine, lovely lady. Always smiling, always willing to help you and have a chat and give you advice and recommendations. Anything you need, ask Claudia, she is superb. Grazie Hotel Villa Daphne, we will be returning :) (Stanza 214)

The warmest welcome ever.
Just returned from a wonderful stay at Villa Daphne. The staff are so welcoming and helpful, they couldn’t have done more for us. Special mention goes to Claudia on Reception, she really is a Ray of sunshine. We only had B&B so I can’t comment on meals apart from breakfast which was excellent. A really nice hot and cold buffet. Will definitely stay here again.

A fab small & friendly hotel, great location
One of the best small hotels that I have stayed at. The location was excellent, bus stop down the road to take you into Taormina and only a 15 min walk to local shops and restaurants. All of the staff were so helpful and friendly and made our stay so very enjoyable. Hotel was spotless and breakfast good and plentiful. Would love to do a return visit. Thank you to all of the fantastic hardworking staff.

Hotel Daphne appeal is its small size. This allows the staff to be more personal. The receptionist Claudia was very helpful and welcoming. One minor improvement for me would be bottles of water in the bedroom and tea/coffee making facility.

We have just returned from a 9 night stay and highly recommend Villa Daphne Hotel. We really enjoyed the breakfast and delicious pastries, relaxing and peaceful days by the pool and dinner at the hotel the last two nights. The hotel is extremely clean and the staff are a huge asset, with special thanks to Claudia, Azzura and Vincentzo. The bus stop is 1 min walk from the hotel which is really handy for the airport (€5.90pp). You can also catch the bus to Taormina (€3 return pp) but we found it a bit unreliable. You need an FFP2 mask on the buses.

The best by far
We stayed at the Hotel Villa Daphne for 5 nights. The staff and owner couldn't do enough for you, they are always willing to help you in any way they can. The hotel is beautiful and in a very quiet location. Local shops are only at the bottom of the road, the beach and main town is a few minutes away. Hotel villa Daphne will not disappoint you in any way. We would like to thank all the staff, the owner and the people of Sicily for making our little holiday so good. Hope to be back soon.

Vila Daphne in Giardini Naxos was an amazing hotel with an amazing staff. Antonella & Claudia were so helpful. I had emailed them several times with lots of questions before arriving to the hotel and they were prompt in returning the responses. It was super clean and the room and beds were very comfortable. It is very close to the Recanati bus stop which brings you to all the locations Including Taormina. All of the excursions we took, we were able to all get at that bus stop which is 50 m from the hotel. Very convenient. Piranata beach which is a private beach affiliated with the hotel is a 10 minute walk. I did an intensive search before I booked this hotel and trust me it is one of the best ones in the city. All the other ones looks run down and old. I would definitely come back there if I ever visit Giardini Naxos again.
