Gianni House is located in the beautiful seaside village of Giardini-Naxos, just below Taormina and in the shadow of Mt. Etna on the east coast of Sicily. Come sample a bit of real Sicilian life while the more touristy sights are still within reach.

We’re right next to the “Renault” bus stop in Giardini-Naxos, with easy connections to and from Taormina, Catania, and beyond. On foot, a short walk will get you to the beach, restaurants, bars, clubs, Greek ruins, shopping, and the best cannoli in Italy.

FROM CATANIA AIRPORT:
From the Catania airport or any bus station, take the blue Taormina Etna Transporti Interbus towards Recanati and get off at the Renault bus stop. Our stop is before Taormina. You usually have to ask the bus driver to stop at Renault, since they don’t always stop there. The bus stop is right across the street from a bakery called CasaBlanca. Take a right at CasaBlanca and Gianni House is the white building with blue shutters at the end of the block.
If you miss the Renault stop, from the Recanati bus station we’re 10 minutes by foot. Exit the bus station and go straight on the main street (Consolare Valeria), then take your first right and then the next right again after that at the bus stop, and Gianni House is just 20m beyond the bus stop.

If you choose to take the train from Catania airport or any other city, we recommend you to get off at Taormina-Giardini train station and not Alcantara station!
