Lonely and quiet
The area is jwd, no restaurant, just beach.
Rooms and surroundings are recommended, however, there is a kitchen outside that guests can use.
Great for people who want peace and quiet. It is best to shop beforehand and cook for yourself.
Breakfast is manageable but good.

A B&b immersed in nothingness.
A B&b immersed in nothingness! In one of the most desolate lands of the entire coast of Messina (and there are beautiful ones). Don't look on Street Wiew: it doesn't exist.
The so-called road is at first a stream bed paved with bumpy stones (I don't stone, big stones) challenging even for an off-roader and then a long dirt stretch of that uncompacted earth that becomes volatile dust and enters you everywhere (if it doesn't rain, imagine if it rains!) The road must be crossed (4 or 5 meters) also to go down to the sea using steps of large stones resting on the cliff of about 2 meters obviously without any handrails (not a good situation for two elderly people).
The room, then, at first glance seems acceptable but a quick glance shows a corner that should serve as a walk-in closet but is open without even a curtain to not show the clothes hanging. The bed consists of two mattresses resting on some pallets that have been given a coat of white paint, very naive, very country but with a thousand cracks and holes that, of course, serve as dens for many insects two of which (two cheerful spiders) welcomed us jumping on pillows. Even tiny pseudo bedside tables are made like that.
Breakfast, from 8.30 to 10 (at that time it's almost lunchtime for me) necessarily on a table outside (flies? mosquitoes?) because there is no table in the room and not even space to put it (it's a B & B you will have to have lunch or dinner in the room sometimes). The kitchen (20 euros for the whole period) is equipped with very black cookware for multiple use, always outside.
Of all this there is not the slightest hint in the description of the structure. It's like when the greengrocer is smart: he offers you beautiful fruit then you take it home and, who knows why, it's rotten.
Yet I am from Messina, I have known for a lifetime the "rustic" habits of the inhabitants of that place. I had also been warned that the place was not adequate but I trusted more of the beautiful things seen on the site: big mistake, it was smoke in the eyes!
We stayed about a quarter of an hour in the room to realize the situation and decided it was no place for us. We therefore expressed our objections and our disappointment to Mrs. Giada to whom we asked to meet us with a compromise solution that seemed fair to us: we would have left her the entire down payment that was more than 50% and she would have waived the balance so with certainty, given the demand in this period, would have found other guests (perhaps more "rustic" than us).
With the steadfastness (arrogance?) typical of those who know that it will come out because the interlocutor is surrendering he understood no reason and allowed us to pay "only" half of the residue. He basically profited from our misadventure and then, I'm sure, re-rented the room.
Beyond the economic aspect the most serious thing for me is that I should have, for my state of health and on the advice of the doctors, enjoy a couple of weeks of sun and sea (what's better than the Messina sea?) and instead I not only suffered damage (stress) but, thanks to Mrs. Giada, I had to go back to Pescara kicking my butt (additional stress). Damage and mockery!
I would have liked to add some photos to document that I do not speak falsehoods but I did not make any because our desire was to escape as soon as possible from that squalor.

Nightmare B&B
A B&b immersed in nothingness! In one of the most desolate lands of the entire coast of Messina (and there are beautiful ones). Don't look on Street Wiew: it doesn't exist. In the stream of San Saba.
The so-called road is at first a stream bed paved with bumpy stones (I don't stone, big stones) challenging even for an off-roader and then a long dirt stretch of that uncompacted earth that becomes volatile dust and gets you everywhere if it doesn't rain, imagine if it rains! The road must be crossed (4 or 5 meters) also to go down to the sea using steps of large stones resting on the cliff of about 2 meters obviously without any handrails, non-existent beach, pulled away from the sea.
The room, then, at first glance seems acceptable but a quick glance shows a corner that should serve as a walk-in closet but is open without even a curtain to not show the clothes hanging from a stick.
The bed consists of two mattresses resting on some pallets that have been given a coat of white paint, very naive, very country but with a thousand cracks and holes that, of course, serve as dens for many insects two of which (two cheerful spiders) welcomed us jumping on pillows. Even tiny pseudo bedside tables are made like that.

Sicilian holiday
Quiet location, beautiful sea right in front of the property. Recent and well maintained structure. Well-kept Mediterranean garden, full of flowers. Comfortable room and bathroom, impeccable cleanliness. The owner and collaborators friendly and helpful for any request. Messina can be reached in 20 minutes. Really positive experience.

Oasis of greenery and pure relaxation
We fell in love with this B&B right from the photos, located 2 steps from the sea on the coast overlooking small seaside villages. Convenient location for visiting the sandy mountain beaches and the naturist beach of San Saba. Structure, quite comfortable and large room, large bathroom with a spacious shower, very comfortable bed, functional and original furnishings. The common areas are comfortable, various lounges and the patio where there are tables where you can eat and have breakfast. At guests' disposal there is a covered outdoor kitchen complete with crockery, convenient for preparing a coffee or heating up ready-made food. Oriana and Giada are kind and helpful, we met Oriana and she is very nice and helpful. It's a shame that we found bad weather and didn't make use of the beach, in the garden there is an external bathroom and shower, to use after swimming in the sea. Classic sweet Italian breakfast with fruit, delicious grapes from the garden. The only flaw, but the managers of the structure are not to blame, is the initial road that takes you from the Giudeo bridge, unpaved and downhill, be careful, especially at night. We will certainly return, a welcoming house full of positive energy.

Caro Tiziano,
grazie per essere stato nostro ospite e per aver così ben descritto la nostra casa!
ci spiace non abbiate potuto godere della spiaggia e del nostro fantastico mare...e ci auguriamo possiate tornare per completare l'esperienza ;)
Cogliamo l'occasione per spendere due parole sulla strada che conduce alla struttura...è vero che è poco agevole e a tratti dissestata ma, come riflettiamo spesso insieme a molti ospiti, è propria questa caratteristica che garantisce al posto la tranquillità e la magia:) che ci affascina tutti!
alla prossima
saluti
