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

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

Great location for exploring Messina
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 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.

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 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.

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.
