Really beautiful place. It’s a historic building that has been lovingly restored by the owner. Great water pressure. The owner and his partner were very friendly and sent us recommendations even though we only stayed one night. Messina is gorgeous so we’ll go back. And hopefully we can stay at this property again
Nice room ,very clean.Check in was easy and we were facilitated with and earlier than expected check in.
Property on a quiet street but only 100 meters or so from the Cathedral. Lots of options for restaurants and thanks to recommendations we received from the owner we had a couple of nights in very traditional local restaurants
Excellent host, Central location, well kept property Looks brand new, generous breakfast, friendly service for any touristy questions! Overall highly recommended!
The beds are so comfortable here. The room is beautiful and very clean. The hosts were very accommodating and coffee is delicious. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.
The property was well-located and quiet. However, it could have more comfortable pillows, and the air conditioner should be adjusted. Sometimes, the place was too hot.
The internet connection is poor, as it does not reach the entire room. The TV is small but enough.
I enjoyed the stay in this place.
Great location for exploring Messina. Room was large and quiet. Only little gripes: the shower didn’t get hot enough and the bed was uncomfortable. Great communication from the host was appreciated. Overall very good.
The room was really nice with comfortable bed and a good shower. The breakfast is just packaged goods and stale cereal but tea, coffee etc is good.
We stayed on a Friday night, arriving quite late. We were awoken many times throughout the night with cars racing up the street and often with music blaring. To our surprise in the morning, the street that we thought must have a main road, was just a small street. Anyway, this is not the fault of the property. They were very nice and helpful and let us leave our bags after check out.
Very comfortable and lovely presentation internally. The standout was the generous hospitality of the hosts. They went above and beyond to assist us - all with a smile.
5 star service at a 5 star accommodation. The service and hospitality at this hotel was impeccable. Fantastic room and a great location. Our hosts really went out of their way to make our stay memorable. Please make this your choice to stay, I wouldn’t book anywhere else.
Antonella made self check in easy, and Rosario was kind and left us a beautiful surprise for our Anniversary with towel swans on our bed. We also enjoyed visiting with Rosario at breakfast in the kitchen.
We chose the accommodation due to it was close to the cathedral. It was clean and comfortable.
The location is perfect for getting around Messina. The decor has been beautifully and lovingly curated. What makes this place stand out is the owners who work as a team to make your stay perfect. I got very sick and was hospitalized while staying there. Antonella called the ambulance and gave my wife updates since no one at the hospital spoke English. She even called a taxi when she found out I was being discharged. We will never forget Antonella and Rosario's kindness. We would give this spot 10 stars if possible.
Excellent choice, location was perfect 2m walk to the Duomo, restaurants and transportation.
Rosario was exceptional, very helpful … emailed me all I needed to know as to what to see, where to eat and where to shop. Highly recommend this property.
Apartment was located 100 meters from the Piazza Duomo, shopping and restaurants. Great spot for a day to explore Messina or take the ferry to mainland Italy. Breakfast was not included in the booking but the host provided it for free anyway. Highly recommend this B&B.
Pros:Antonella and Rosario, our hosts, were super friendly and helpful in settling us into our room, and giving us information about the area. Our room and facilities we could not fault. Location within walking distance to historical area and local restaurants. Parking was relatively easy.
Cons: We checked in on a Saturday and the street noise, that night, until 230am was quite distracting. Sunday night was far better. Left on Monday so cannot comment on weekdays.
Overall a very positive experience.
A fantastic location 200 Meters from Cathedral very close to train and bus a well equipped very clean kitchen a voucher for a coffee and pastry at a lovely nearby cafe. Hostess very helpful and always available. Good Wi-Fi a very pleasant place to stay in the centre of Messina
The apartment is very well located, is well furnished and tastefully decorated. Antonella is very helpful, assisted us with finding a place for parking and downloading the App to pay.
