At Sicily’s northeast tip, Messina is the first city being kicked by mainland Italy’s boot, just three miles across the Strait of Messina. It's a main port of entry for visitors via hydrofoils and ferries. Trains board the ferry, too, before continuing service. The 12th-century Norman cathedral, rebuilt after a 1908 earthquake destroyed it and much of the town, is the most famous attraction.

After a careful and stilish restructuring, with a vintage touch which keeps the original ’60s atmosphere intact, we proudly present the GARIBALDI R&B. The R&B is located on the upper floor of a lovely building which is part of the "Palazzata" of Messina, built in the ‘50s from Giuseppe Samona, one of the main representatives of the Italian rationalist architecture. GARIBALDI R&B cozy rooms face the harbor on one side and the old town on another, within walking distance from the Cathedral, the church of SS Annunziata dei Catalani and the Central University. Its strategic position allows to enjoy the city liveliness, thanks to many nearby cafes and restaurants, as well as the convenience to reach the Expo neighborhood and the Regional Museum of Messina. We offer STANDARD and SUPERIOR rooms as well as a junior suite with private kitchen and jacuzzi shower. All rooms are air conditioned and equipped with free WiFi, minibar, TV LCD, phone and private bath.
The rooms are modern and nice and the staff was very cordial. Our room was just off the entrance and we could hear overtime someone buzzed in. The breakfast was very minimal but enough for a quick bite. It is located on a great boulevard for shopping and just off the coast.

The hostess Helena was so gracious, welcoming and helpful that in a short time we felt we were staying with a friend rather than a B&B! The room was spacious, spotlessly clean and comfortable. Initially, we were uncomfortable with the availability of parking at the location until we were told by Helena about a large open parking facility just a few metres away.

The noise pollution due to the main street (Viale Boccetta) is on the other side of the building (front side): all the balconies are on the rear side, where the air is usually clean and just a few cars pass by. The fare includes the breakfast, which consists of cereals, croissants, marmelade, biscuits, cappuccino, espresso, jogurts, tea. For those who cannot eat milk products, Messina 41 offers its guests rice crakers, corn and many other foods to enjoy with. Every sunday we serve the traditional sicilian cannoli con ricotta fresca.

Pleasant hotel with airy & comfortable rooms; convention facilities; restaurant serving Sicilian Cuisine; near railway station.
Stay here for 1 night, very centrally located hotel. Garage is very convenient, impeccable staff always serving with a smile and very helpful. Hotel is undergoing refurbishment from outside but didn’t bother us. Rooms are very big and comfortable but need some upgrade for a 4 star hotel. Breakfast was very good. All in all very good stay for the price paid and if in the area won’t hesitate to stay again in same hotel

We stayed here for 2 nights prior to shoving off for a 2 week sail. The rooms were perfect and the grounds were spectacular. Staff was fantastic and no request was too small. We needed some provisions prior to our shove off and the hotel sent someone to get some of the harder-to-find items. Although the restaurant is still not open due to COVID, they brought a chef in for an evening meal for our party of six. They arranged all transportation for our party from Catania to the property. If I could give them 10 stars I would! This place was fantastic!

Myself, my husband and our in-laws (with them, there were 2 children) all coming from England, stayed at Villa Morgana during the last week of September. We had a wonderful time. The staff was exceptional in answering to our needs and they spoke very good English. The breakfast was good and plentiful, with both international and Italian breakfast offers. The rooms were very nice and the beds confortable. The pool area was well kept, and using the pool while looking at the Lake, was delightful. A couple of us used the Spa's massage services and it was a great experience. Definetly when we will go back to Messina, we will know where to stay.

344/5000 The B & B Cairoli and a brand new property built in January 2015 with the commitment to offer every type of service and comfort to all those who will like to stay overnight in the center of Messina. The location is definitely the most strategic of the city, since this is the famous Piazza Cairoli, a large wooded area on the boulevard St. Martin.
A really good choice if you are looking for budget accommodation in Messina. Very good location, also very close to Messina Central Station / Coach Station, and walking distance to old town area. Check in was fine, rooms very clean, comfortable and spacious. Breakfast was very basic though, and includes only coffee and a croissant - so that could be improved. Overall, recommended for budget travel.
