Antico Palazzo

Antico Palazzo is a small, family-run B&B in Giardini Naxos with an old-building feel and a very hands-on, home-style approach to hosting.

Beach-and-town convenience: Antico Palazzo sits on Via Vittorio Emanuele in Giardini Naxos, a short walk from the beach and the central stretch of town, making it easy to go back and forth for swims, gelato, and evening strolls.

Easy day trips without a car: With a bus stop right in front, many guests find it practical to base here and head to Taormina and nearby highlights without dealing with parking.

Rooms with core comforts: Guest feedback commonly mentions clean rooms, air conditioning, a TV, and (in some rooms) a small balcony—simple features that matter after long beach days.

Breakfast that stands out: A recurring theme is the sweet-focused breakfast, often praised for pastries and Sicilian granita, which can feel like a daily “treat” built into the stay.

Warm, personal hosting: Several reviews describe the owners as friendly and helpful with local tips, creating a stay that feels more like being looked after than simply checked in.

Noise-sensitive sleepers beware: Because Antico Palazzo faces a busy road and is near the railway, light sleepers may notice traffic and train noise, especially with windows open.

Traditional setup and rules: Some guests report the rooms can feel dated and that house rules (for example around sand, towels, or A/C use) may come across as strict.

Breakfast setting trade-off: Breakfast is connected to a bar environment, which can feel less private and occasionally a bit hectic during busier moments.
