The location was within walking distance to the train station and sightseeing. The front desk staff was very helpful as we arrived before the room was ready. WE were able to leave our bags while we did some sightseeing and when we returned, our bags had been delivered to the room.

The staff was very friendly and helpful, they provided us with all the information to get the most of the city. The room was very comfortable and well equipped. Having breakfast served at the second floor with a beautiful view of the city is a plus. The property is in a great location at walking distance from the historic center of Messina.

Unaware that ferry arrival at almost midnight was at a cargo terminal, miles from anywhere, no taxis but helped by kind crew member. Nervous as solo traveller but most accommodating receptionist guided me by phone into stay. Tramline on waterfront easy access to station.
Only stopping point to Palermo - can’t judge attractions.

Messina is a pretty city in a beautiful spot that is off the radar for most travelers.
The cathedral, rebuilt after the 1908 earthquake, is beautiful, with Byzantine mosaics in the apses that miraculously survived. The clock tower mechanical clock is spectacular even though it only operates once a day.
The regional museum is full of treasures that were salvaged from churches destroyed in the earthquake. The highlights are two Caravaggios and an Antonello da Messina triptych.
Interestingly, Messina appears not to promote itself. The tourist office seemed to always be closed. I ended up asking in shops what sights to see, how to get to them on busses, and for restaurant recommendations. Locals were very glad to help me with that information.

The town is Ok for a day & night.
The town is Ok for a day & night. The cathedral at 12pm is the biggest thing in town and it is worth a look for the curious. Note all the bars around the square have a surcharge just to sit down - which they don't advertise. Try the Sri Lankan restaurants around town, delicious food at a great price.

we only stayed 3 nights, the area we stayed was very busy not far from ferry crossings. We visited Taormina and Cefalu, 2 nearby cities. Didn't get to see much of Messina itself. Did visit beach which was very nice.

Messina doesn't have a lot of attractions - the Camponile was interesting to see at midday, as well as the Norman cathedral, for which you could really see the Mudejar influence - something I found surprising for Italy.
OTOH, it also means there were fewer tourists about, which suited us to a tee.
If you are into hiking, it looks like the mountains above the city would have some nice trails with views out over both the Ionian and Tyrrhenian seas.
The B&B is centrally situated, just a few steps away the Dome and it has everything you need. The room was spacious and very comfortable. Jonathan was very polite, kind and ready to assist. They kept our luggage while we were exploring the city which we truly appreciated. Bed very comfortable and loved the sheets. Big bathroom with all the amenities. Definitely a perfect place to explore the city. Loved the fresh Sicilian lemons and Jonathan was super kind to give us some to take away. We'd chose it again for a stay in Messina.
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.
This is the nicest B&B in which we have stayed here in Sicily. It is modern (opened in 2022), comfortable, beautifully located overlooking the Straits of Messina from the spacious breakfast room and balcony, spotlessly clean and perfectly maintained. Eva (owner and designer) is welcoming, very helpful, and gracious.You cannot go wrong in selecting FuoriSquadra B&B!
It's a 10-15 minute walk from Messina Central station. You have to communicate your arrival time especially if you arrive late or very early because there's no reception. The big door is locked and you cannot get inside without contacting the owner. The room we have is spacious, clean and has a private bathroom. The view on the terrace that I love.
It was really amazing, a bit more expensive than other places in Messina but definitely worth it. There is a huge TV in room with literally everything (netflix, disney plus, youtube) and the room is very clean. It genuinely look like a hotel room, would definitely recommend it!
Francisco is a fabulous host, very personable, friendly and helpful. There are only two rooms, so it feels like you are staying with family. Great value in an awesome location, close enough to Messina, but out in the country by the sea.
rooms are clean and spacious, all needed furniture, wall sockets etc. are available, good breakfast, very friendly staff - they pay attention to customers and take time to care about them, free parking at the front of the hotel
Very spacious and well appointed property. The view of the Straits of Messina and the water traffic was breathtaking. The property was very clean and our host supplied us with the ingredients for a light breakfast.
Breakfast was good, many choices. The rooms were wonderful and the location was a short walk from the ferry terminal. I highly recommend this hotel and will choose it again when we visit.
the hotel is within walking distance of everything in Messina. it’s extremely clean, the bed is very comfortable, the staff is very friendly and helpful.
Overall, I was satisfied with everything but the hostess's kind information was very useful. That information was useful throughout the trip to Sicily.
