Marvelous Seaside House w/Garden + FREE Parking

Giardini-Naxos sits on the bay below Taormina, with the ruins of Sicily’s first Greek colony on the headland and a long beach in front of the town. It is the practical place to stay on this stretch of coast: cheaper than Taormina, on the water, and connected to it by cable car. The house sleeps three in one bedroom, with a garden, a pool, a terrace, air conditioning, a washer and a workspace. Free parking is worth more here than it sounds — this is a part of Sicily where driving is the sensible way to get around and parking in Taormina itself is both scarce and expensive.
