I always check Tripadvisor before booking a hotel, but there's an art to interpreting people's opinions. The US reviewers seem obsessed by the size of the breakfast, bathroom, and bath towels, so I take any complaints with a pinch of salt. The British seem almost oblivious to cleanliness, but the French take it very seriously indeed. However this experience has... more

This hotel was a great find. It's at the slightly quieter end of Giardini Naxos (the other end looked a bit tacky). We had a front room with balcony (with a bit of a sea view) and didn't find it noisy at all, though we used the quiet air conditioner. Breakfast was lovely with good coffee! The beach straight across... more

The Hotel Villa Mora is located about as plumb central in Giardini Naxos as it is possible to get. This makes getting anywhere barely more than a short walk, and getting to the beach a scarcely arduous two minute stroll. It's a reasonably priced 2/3 star hotel with 17 rooms. It is owned by a German/Italian couple and is attentively... more

I found this hotel via 2 of the more popular travel books for the Sicily region. I wound up writing to both of these travel books immediately upon returning to the states. I am an architect in the States and moreover, my parents immigrated from about 50 miles south of the hotel, so I speak both Italian and the Sicilian... more

We booked this through Booking.com. I highly recommend this site because they give you up close maps as to where it is. This in general is most helpful if you are driving here. The hotel staff was very nice. We had the room on the top floor so we could see the beach from there. Disadvantage of that is walking... more

We spent 2 weeks at Hotel Villa Mora mid-Sept. 2006 and really enjoyed the place and our very helpful hosts, Anna and Nando Patti the owners. Budget conscious, we found that it was a good value and right in the heart of the town so easy to get around on foot and by bus as we did not rent a... more

My husband and I spent four wonderful nights at this gem of a hotel right across the street from beautiful Naxos Bay. Its location is perfect -- steps from the sea, restaurants, shops, an internet cafe and bus transportation to nearby Taormina. The entire hotel, as well as our room on the third floor, was decorated with marvellous antiques and... more

Stayed at Villa Mora for a week end June/beg July 2006. The accommodation is fairly basic but it was spotlessly clean, very good continental breakfast, and the staff/owners were extremely helpful. For the price we paid we considered it to be good value. It's just across the road from the beach, and there's a bus stop about a 5 minute... more

Very reasonable price and fantastic location 20m from the sea. Very friendly and professional service both in English and In German. The room was simple but clean and in good condition with air conditioning. The furniture was antique but in excellent condition. Breakfast was fine with fabulous coffee. Some disadvantages - parking situation is likely to be difficult in the... more
