Lovely place. Staff so helpful. The self check im is a breeze they send two codes to open gates an doors easy. Rooms will Seawiews are stunning. Breakfast really nice too. When the tram is running its easy to get to downtown at moment buses do the journey from nearby square, easy wak.Mainland Ferry terminal is very close by, cautioun though if you have a big luggage take a taxi the 60 steps up to the road are a good climb.

Giussepe was very helpfull
Michael
The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. This place is conveniently located near the train station and not far from the sites. Highly recommended.
Norm
Rooms were very large, bathroom was enormous. Shower for 4 people. Breakfast was good Breakfast is good, lots of choices.
Judith
We appreciated help with parking. Restaurant choices within walking distance are limited. It was raining so we got supplies for a picnic dinner from the supermarket nearby.
Elijah
It's a very convenient location. Short walk to ferry.
Attila
The manager Giovani was very friendly and helpful
AL
Very convenient to Villa San Giovanni Ferry with excellent customer service before arrival and during stay
John
Staff was helpful in getting me registered. Very roomy and comfortable. All the amenities I required for my visit.
Andres
Worth returning.
Large rooms and on-site parking. Friendly staff. We liked it!
Kenneth
Inside the hotel, the property is clean, spacious and comfortable. The hosts are very attentive. The room was very comfortable. While there is a gated parking lot in the back, the street is on a steep hill, which requires a steep set of concrete stairs to get up and down to walk anywhere, including public transportation. It is very dirty and full of trash, which had obviously been there for weeks or months. Sidewalks are narrow and littered with dog poop in addition to litter. The building across the street is abandoned. We did not feel unsafe however, but it is a bit off-putting.
Markis
Very nice place to stay, very spacious, air conditioning
Joel
Difficult to write a review on this one. The manager was extremely pleasant and accommodating. The breakfast was excellent. The issues start with the room that we stayed in not looking anything like the photos in the listing. There are literally no dining options in the neighborhood. The property is extremely convenient to the ferry and really appreciated the parking but other than that it was pretty unimpressive. On the plus side the room was nicely decorated and the bathroom and shower were pretty reasonable. The floor in the sleeping area was very dirty. The room that we were given was right by the front door which makes a bunch of noise each time it's opened and closed.
Stephen
Late arrival and early departure so didn't get to meet the staff but they made sure we had all information necessary to check in upon arrival.
Lynda
Great room helpful staff.
David Christopher
Owners were amazing!! Bent over backwards for us. Parking was great too. 100% would stay here again. Super friendly staff…thanks for making our stay so wonderful!
Alain
Highly recommended. Minutes from the ferry. Great friendly staff.
Efraim
The hotel is beautiful with a large room and good breakfast facilities, even though the breakfast itself was quite limited. We loved that it had its own parking and it made it easy to leave our car while we walked to different areas.
Danny
Great place to stay. Excellent bathroom and comfortable bed! Very helpful staff!
ELENA
We founs it so convenient because we had a rental car and their parking was gated. Very clean and staff was nice!

Carol
The room was very clean and modern. The parking was convenient and safe. A very good choice for our stay in Messina.
Michele
Giovanni & Paula went beyond service being our taxi when we were clueless on how to get one. Room was clean and comfortable and they put out a welcome breakfast spread. Location for us was out of way but that was on me.
Shelley
The rooms were clean and spacious; we had a 2-bedroom unit with a huge closet that was bigger than my first apartment. The proprietor was incredibly kind and helpful and provided lovely small details that many other places do not, such as conditioner and a wine opener. Couldn't have been happier with the service and stay.
Mary

Google Maps gave us lots of problems when travelling to this property but Giovanni was so helpful...He was a superb host and could not have helped more.

Family room stay
The reception (Avi) was extremely kind and polite. My family and I were supposed to arrive at 8pm on a Sunday but arrived at the hotel almost 9pm already but Avi waited for us. Normally the reception is not manned after 8pm. After we checked in, Avi was still very patient in answering the tons of questions i had about Messina. We didn’t see so much staff there during our stay but since we had Avi he was more than enough whom we needed. The Italian breakfast was simple and nice. Avi made sure we ate how much we wanted. During the pandemic, buffet breakfast is not available anymore. Finding the hotel can be tricky if you are not familiar with Messina like us. We rented a car and i made sure it has a gps navigation system.
The room service made sure we had an abundant supply of towels and room was perfectly cleaned daily.
Overall, it was a very pleasant and comfortable stay. And all because of our first and lasting impression of Avi’s excellent service. We will definitely come here again this October.

I felt like James Bond as the front gate opened automatically to my cell phone call. Parked my car and used a numeric code to enter this hidden surprise. The property blew my expectations, My suite was a mix of Roman travertine and modern elegance. super clean and a perfect bathroom - anything but a B&B. I found out the owner’s great grandfather invented the hydrofoil. Best of all, Avi greeted me with perfect English and provided my family with a wonderful breakfast. A hidden gem in Sicily.
Mark
Fantastic boutique hotel
This is a fabulous small boutique hotel with an excellent standard. As we arrived outside of their normal hours (after 8pm) we were sent codes to get into the main door and gates to park the car. Our room was open for us and we had great communications via WhatsApp. Room was lovely with a very large walk-in wardrobe, shower was great and breakfast was good. A little gem!
Verified traveler
Excellent in all ways Not far from historic center.Very safe, clean, quiet, private,modern and managed by friendly staff. Entire port and city of Messina, Sicily is a wonderful place on the map to visit!
Verified traveler
The property room was excellent, felt very secure with a gated parking space, very clean and amazingly fresh breakfast. Highly recommend!
MaryG
Friendly helpful staff, excellent breakfast, clean room, good location, safe and secured parking. Thank you for makiing our stay so enjoyable!
Derek
What a gem! Excellent: comfortable and friendly
What a gem! An amazing place to stay! Will definitely stay again when in Messina. Off street parking, ultra modern accommodation and warm and friendly hosts: Giuseppe and Giovanni. They could not do enough for us. Excellent breakfast and the most comfortable bed so far during our 2 weeks travel in Italy. Couldn’t fault the accommodation nor the service. Check-in instructions were confusing via the hotel.com site; as it implied you must check-in by an (unknown) time or else... but we found the actual check-in to be very efficient and modern.
Mark
Nice facility. Thermostat was stuck in 28 degrees C. Hard to sleep
jorge horacio
Short stay in Mesina
Comfortable place. Need to get in touch before arriving. Friendly staff. Convenient for a stay with car close to city centre.
Verified traveler
One look and we walked away. Lobby isn’t staffed 24 hours so door locked, lobby shabby looking and dark. Notice on the door seemed to indicate that the place had just been sprayed for insects. Garbage in the street in front of the place and material falling of the outside.
Verified traveler
What a gem. Guiseppi and Giovanni excellent managers and looked after us extremely well.
Thank you
Thank you
Sandra
Nice hotel, very central location right in the middle of the historic center. The only problem is parking. If you have a car parking and driving is extremely difficult.
Bill
Nice, secure, friendly staff and parking!
Everything about this B&B is great.It is a Km or 2 from center of town, we had a car and enjoyed the included gated parking lot. However we found parking in town next to impossible and took taxis to avoid the frustration.
Leo
We received a very warm welcome to the B&B and were shown around the facility. The property is well positioned, is very well appointed and has private off street parking. I would highly recommend for a stay in Messina.
