"The hotel was really cute and the room was very big with a beautiful view of the ocean. Just a few minute walk to the beach. The upstairs apartment had a kitchen also. And breakfast was great. Lorenz was very kind and helpful. "
"Each bedroom was unique and quite pleasing. The person at the desk, when we arrived was knowledgeable about good places to eat. Breakfast was adequate, but eggs, ham and cheese were not among the options. The woman in the breakfast room was so friendly."
"Scenic location on hills overlooking Strait of Messina. House is spacious, artistic interiors reminded me of English novels. Rita, the owner, was gracious and readily available. The only downside was the out of the way location with hardly any shops or restaurants in the vicinity. We ordered in pizza.

"Property was nice but a bit too far off the beaten path for exploration. However would be a great place to stay in the summer to relax with family or friends. Apartments have nice patio areas and pool/communal areas look fun. Sea is close."
"A stylish conversion of the second storey of an old mansion into four rooms in a very central location in Messina. Excellent for a business person or a couple making a short visit to the city. Immaculately clean and good value for money."
"Front desk was helpful-we were sent to the wrong place for breakfast-didn't have internet service after 8pm-check out took over an hour. I booked with hhotel.com but the hotel said I had to pay them which has never happened to me-without internet it took an hour to run charges-there were little black bugs in our bed which made you itch and left red marks-we were able to shack the sheets which helped. I would not stay there or recommend any travelers, because of the experience I had."
