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.

we stayed 4 nights, allowing enough time t spend in Messina as well as use it as a base to travel to other Sicily locations. it had great walkability although the sidewalks/curbs were a little challenging with a suitcase. the noon Duomo show was definitely a highlight

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 staff was very kind, always keen to help us. The breakfast is very rich and tasty varying from salty foods to sweets. Cleaning was exceptional, every day the bin was emptied, the room cleaned and vacuumed, clothes and stuff folded. The hotel is placed relatively close to the center of Messina but a little far away from the beach but there are buses that work all day. I greatly recommend this hotel if you visit Messina :)
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!
we were stopping over for one night to catch early ferry to mainland after one month in Sicily, hotel was a good price and location to ferry terminal to get back to mainland and close to a good restaurant and a nice little granita bar nearby for a last hurrah! breakfast included was a good way to start the day the morning coffee was great!
Above all we stayed with two lovely people for a week in their old farmhouse and orchard up in the hills above Messina.
Friendly, helpful, they made us feel very welcome.
Good breakfasts to start the day before we took off to explore the bird life. And delicious dinners! What wonderful fish. And endless cups of good Italian coffee
The apartment is very beautiful and interesting. it was very cozy and comfortable to spend two days in Messina. The apartment is located near the train station, the port and the center ... super location. I want to say a special thank you to the owner of the apartment for his kindness and hospitality👍😉
High quality furnishings, luxurious sheets & bath sheet towels, very nice breakfast selection with very fresh coretti, fresh fruit, variety of juices, several kinds of coffee. It was within walking distance of major sights. Messina surprised us with the cleanliness of the city.
I was able to check in at night after ferry arrival.
The breakfast display was the best we've seen in Italy. So many items: pane, canolis, cereals, eggs, bacon, juices, fruits sliced, nuts, toast, granita, meats and cheeses, etc.
Location near train station.
Fantastic view of Messina and Italy across the sound. Beautiful apartment and fittings. Very comfortable lounge and bed, great shower. Host was very helpful. The lift was a bonus. One of the best places I've ever stayed in in Europe.
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.
Fantastic location in the centre of Messina and easy to walk to everything. There were great food options very close by. The rooms were very clean and spacious and the shower was amazing!!
The appartment was excellent, it was a pleasure to spend a night there, would’ve loved to stay longer!
This is a great place to enjoy the views of Messina’s harbour.
Thank you Patrizia!
Good location, close to main Piazza and tram stop that takes you directly to Messina Centrale.
Good for a one night stay. Use of shared kitchen / fridge is helpful. Free water.
