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.

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.

While our rooms required climbing steps up-think of it as the Penthouse, the apartment was large, comfortable, and with a large terrace overlooking the water, and the city. Tomassa was an excellent hostess, and speaks with such a calming -no worries-voice. Breakfast was in a courtyard garden, and quite unique. Yes, the B&B is on a busy street, and if you have a car, you can park without an issue.

An exclusive place that combines the strategic position with a mythical and surreal atmosphere thanks to the panoramas it offers and the large paintings that characterize the rooms dedicated to the myths of the Strait of Messina. The B&B is located on the first floor, with lift, of an elegant 70's building, located in the historic center of Messina.
For the second time we've chosen spend a weekend in this location. Everything is perfect, room confortable and bathroom is like a 5***** in Dubai. This morning I woke up with smell of traditional homemade Sicilian breakfast. All perfect and the owner is attentive to the details.... I really suggest this place, you're in town but when you close the door of your wonderful room looks like you're in another world.
