“Just don't get a ground floor room”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 October 2011
1
person found this review helpful

I booked the Villa Linda based upon the TA reviews and the fact that the Hyatt across the street was twice as much. Upon checking in I was shown to my room on the ground floor. I was assured there were no rooms on the higher floors. The room was small, dark, with two tiny twin beds, and the bathroom smelled quite bad.

I went back out to the front desk to inform them of my displeasure just as the clerk was checking a nice Italian guy into a 4th floor room - so much for no rooms. She was kind enough to find me a room on the 5th floor which was much better - large bed, newer bathroom, good AC - although you have to walk up one flight after getting off of the elevator.

I am fairly certain that I received the first room because I interrupted the clerk from her lunch and as she stated "oh, you are American". I am not quite sure if I can recommend the Villa Linda, but I am not prepared to dismiss it either. The only thing I can say is to insist on an upper floor.

Room Tip: High floor.

“Great Area”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 August 2011

The Hotel is in a very good area, bus stop is only 100 metres away and there are various good restaurants close by. I would not recomend the beach that is close to the hotel as the sand is more like rock. The staff very very friendly. The rooms are spacious and clean. The only disappointing factor was that we paid extra for a balcony with sea view and there was no sea view, plus there was only one broken chair in the balcony. I definetely reccomend it as it is very central to go round the south of Sicily and extremly clean, safe and quiet area.

Room Tip: take a room with a balcony

“A lovely spot by the sea with very friendly staff.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 May 2011

person found this review helpful

I've just returned from a ten day trip around Sicily, ending up in Giardini for the last two nights. May is a beautiful time in Sicily, warm and sunny but not too hot. This hotel was a pleasant find for our last couple of days, particularly because the staff are very friendly and the hotel is well situated for getting to the Giardini beaches and many good restaurants. Our only criticism was the size of the beds (in a twin room). The standard size for a single bed in Sicily seems to be about 2'6" wide - this wasn't the first time we came across these beds and unfortunately it feels a bit like sleeping on a shelf!

Room Tip: Probably best not to go for the single beds.

“Small, cosy, clode to beach”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2011

people found this review helpful

Villa Lind is small Hotel with good and helpful staff. When we with my friend were here, everybodu knows us=)))
it;s of couse nice small hotel. There is no swimming pool, but there is access to ineternet and only 5 minute go to beach. Near there is many restaraunts and cofee with italian cousin.
But if you are inetersted in nightlife, you should go to center of Giardini Naxos or visit Taormina, Bus station is only 7 minuts by feet. There is nightlife is Sicily only in summer, In september there is nothing. \
Breakfast is ordinary, usual and not so tasty.
It suites for peaple who not like big hotels and need calm.
