Everything was amazing... The rooms are very clean, they look exactly as in the pictures posted...The view from the front is amazing, the sea is just a few steps away... The owner was very nice, he provided us great tips for restaurants and also for places to see. Also the breakfast was amazing and it was presented really nice - it exceeded our expectations.
I think the experience would have been different with a car... We used a taxi from the station but If you want to walk around town, my opinion is that you need a car. You can use also a taxi or walk a lot on foot :)

The room was clean and comfortable. The blinds were wonderful at not letting the morning glare in. We loved the creative decoration in the bathroom. Giovanni, the owner, was very helpful and great humour. Parking was easy and free, across the road from the property. There is a nice simple pizza place at walking distance. Delicious pizza. The ferry to cross over to Sicily is only 5 minutes drive away and Giovanni was very helpful in indicating how to book the ferry tickets.
The location, the price.

We loved the place! We were so happy to have such a nice experience. It was lovely to enjoy a perfectly served breakfast outside in the yard while enjoying the view of the sea in front of us :). The owner was really cheerful and willing to give us any information or advice we asked for - restaurants, places to see and visit, etc. Thank you! :)

The owner is nice and helpful.Location is excellent for a night stop before or after Sicily.One moto inside parking available.
Unfortunately the whole array of seaside houses will be demolished soon because of the megabridge construction.

Great location for catching the ferry to Messina and wonderful views across the strait. Very welcoming host, comfortable room and good facilities. Easy walk to local pizzerias and restaurants. Plenty of free car parking on the road outside. Breakfast delivered to the room.
Nothing.

This was perfect. The rooms were lovely and comfortable, the breakfast was great and Giovanni catered for all our needs. It is directly across the road from the beach and just up the road from a gelato/cafe/bar.

the host was magnificent. we arrived at the train station and there were no taxis anywhere. I texted the hotel and he came to get us. he also took us back to the station when we left. the breakfast trolley was excellent. our private patio with plants and a sea view was perfect. bathroom was clean and looked brand new. the room was small but decorated so nice. it was like staying in someone’s home.
nothing! would stay there again.

Very clean and run by exceptionally lovely and helpful people. Breakfast was excellent. We struggled for transport to and from the station/ferry, so Giovanni collected us, explained the ferry options and then took us back in the morning. What a star!
I didn’t quite appreciate how far from the ferry it was. Walkable just but we had done a great deal walking previously, so was just a little too far.
