The hostel was very good signposted! Gianni and his staff were helpful and gave us a lot of information on what to eat while in Siciliy, where you can get it, where the best beaches are and so on. They answered all of our questions. Like many of the other users have commented, the shower was a little bit tricky.... More

We biked for 10 days around the Etna and arrived at Gianna house by coincidence because of the good new signs to the hostal. Gianni gave us a warm welcome and some information about the neighbourhood. We were almost the only guests ( just one other couple ) and inspite of that: no regular hot water of the shower, just...

Location = I thought I'd prefer staying IN Taormina, but this was perfect. Kind of in between Giardini Naxos and Taormina, I was able to spend the morning on the beaches, then easily catch a bus up the hill to Taormina. Very easy and budget friendly for a college student (and her boyfriend =) Staff = wonderful! Gianni can be... More

There's no hot water. This was the most expensive hostel we stayed at on our trip to Sicily, yet there was no hot water. You are not allowed to have any outside alcohol. So, if you imagine sipping wine on the roof, you will have to buy theirs at 8 euros a bottle. The photos look much nicer than the... More

I stayed here for a week and it was so much fun to meet all the people from all over the world, and make friends, and even get to have dinner like we were family! The food that Gianni makes is fantastic, and we even got to try local Sicilian specialties as a treat from him. The place is very... More

Gianni House is amazing! This hostel has everything you need Nice roons, very clean, great and delicious food, laundry service, wi-fi and specials people. Giardini Naxos is a paradise. You can walk in the beach and the sea in front of you will put peace inside your heart. Taormina (10 min by bus) it's one of the most romantic cities... More

The hostel has a central location and the public connections are really good. All persons of this clean and beautiful hostel are really friendly. The housemade Pasta is legendary and you have to try it. The rooms are really comfortable and every room has his own toilett and shower. We will come again in summer!
