For the active travellers, a chalet is a great mix of the outdoors and the snug inside. Usually fully furnished and self-catered, chalets are typically wooden and in the Alpine region of Europe, but can also be found elsewhere in the world. Characterised by their sloped roofs, chalets can be single units or separate apartments, and are ideal for skiing holidays.
Fantastic location, right on the sea front of the Straits of Messina. Great private garden and two cabin like rooms in a secure area, with access to a private beach. The kitchen area was outdoors in the garden and had wonderful views of the sea whilst having a morning coffee and watching the ships sail by. The hosts were very friendly, welcoming and hospitable. Restaurants and shops were a short walk away.
Room is located in business ceneter of Messina in proximity of historical monuments but also close to tourist port and railwaystation. Room is equiped with everything for short stay, It has separate bathroom and shower cabine (which is convenient) We complimentary had cofee capsules and water which was very nice from Carlo. Carlo is excellent host.
We will come again to Messina, and we will again stay in his apartment
Fabulous accommodation in the centre, 10 min walk from railway station. Really lovely room and bathroom. Comfortable bed and fab shower. Lovely view from the room. Although central quiet at night using the shutters.
The property is amazing. From the kind and responsive host, to the clean and comfortable apartment, everything was beyond our expectations. The bedroom was spacious enough for us, there was a working TV, AC and fridge. The host provides a coffee machine and a hot water cann. The bathroom was huge, with a separate shower cabinet. The place was so clean, it shined. The location is right next to the main street but it’s quiet at night. The central station is 6-7 minutes away by foot. Definitely worth every euro.
We had a lovely, huge corner room with a terrazzo floor and two lots of shuttered doors opening on to an L shaped balcony with a distant sea view.
The breakfast was great, with lots of options, the chocolate croissants were especially fresh and yummy
We have been staying in hotels in the old part of Sicilian town centres and were pleased to see this one has a lift, some don't.
It was exceptional value for money.
Modest but efficient accomodation. The room is decent size, even with the shower cabin in it. Air conditioning works well. The Harry Potter features would be appreciated by the fans.
It was good value if you have a car and are able to bring extra things because it's a bit isolated. The rooms are in a subdivided apartment one floor up from the street level and are a reasonable size. The bed was comfortable, the room quiet, roll down shutters allow the room to be dark and the air-conditioning works well.
Stayed one night.

Unpreposessing from the outside, the interior is a wonder to behold. A monument to times gone by, it's a splendid example of reliving hotel history. Unique wooden furniture with unknown purpose, and traditional antique wiring.. Left early for a train from the very handy nearby station, so did not get to experience breakfast.
