B&B Marranzano in Giardini-Naxos

Be sure to book the superior rooms, they have ocean front vue , the room was large, clean and pretty. The location is odd, you enter the BnB from a very busy street with not much side walk, but totally normal for an old Sicilian little town, rooms are on top of the 4th floor, there are less expensive rooms below with no ocean view. The rental was inexpensive at under $80 /night, and I got much more than I was expecting. Breakfast was included and I didn't even know about it, and that was an excellent surprise, with your booking you have access to the beach below where you can rent lounge chairs and umbrellas. OR you can go to the public beach next to it . AC worked well, water pressure or temperature can be a little fussy, but it's pretty much everywhere in Taormina, no issues with the fridge, and I didn't expect anything more. I found other online reviews about that place very unfair, you get what you pay for and I was very pleased.
Overall prepare your trip in advance, found out that this BnB is easier access by bus than by train, know which stop to use on the bus (FYI Dalmazia stop is the closest) know that all the affordable rentals are in the town of Giardini-Naxos, on the bus ride to Taormina. If you can afford a room in the super swanky hotel in Taormina, good for you, otherwise be fair with your reviews!!

The property is beautiful , walking distance to everything Giardini Naxos has to offer. My only complaint was not having hot water all the time.

was much more than I was expected, didn't know about the great breakfast that was included. Overall a great experience

Clean, large shower, very convenient location to the restaurants and shops. We stayed there twice in 2019 and came back again. The hosts were very friendly.

the stuff was very nice and kind, the room was comfortable, clean and had a balcony with very beautiful view to the sea. The location of the room is great, just 1 minute from the sea. We are very happy that we got the chance to stay hear and can't wait to return there in our next trip to sicily

Very friendly personnel

Great place to stay in Giardini Naxos! Rooms are very clean and spacious, very cosy and nicely decorated. Nicolo, the host, is very nice, friendly and helpful! The hotel is close to the sand beach and to bus station. It is best to stay here than in Taormina. Great view from the superrior room also.
