“B&B Porta Della Sicilia strikes me as a practical choice in Messina, especially for families or those planning longer stays, given some rooms come equipped with full kitchens. Its garden with BBQ facilities is unexpected and welcome. The location is convenient for reaching local attractions, though future guests should note that some may find the walk from the rail station uphill.”
