Buon giorno! The past few weeks I've been exploring the island and "oohing and ahhing" around every turn. One of my favorite hotels is The Arathena Rocks in Giardini Naxos, near Taormina. It's a sweet family run hotel with a great garden and pool. The hotel is small and filled with antiques. The staff couldn't be nicer and they are all so helpful. When you return they welcome you back with open arms as if you were part of the family.
You can find them at Via Calcide Eubea, 55
Or phone them directly at 39 0942 51349 Their fax number is 39 0942 51690
Look them up on line www.hotelarathena.com
Next week, I'm heading down towards Agrigento! Until next time, wish you were here!
