Onne of thee best places I ever stayed

Terrazza Sullo Stretto is everything it promises. What was most important for me apart from that was its easy location with regard to Messina (just take No 1 bus across the road, every 10-15 mins) while this is clearly just a local area that is quiet and beautiful when you make a little effort to get away from the main through road--and even this can be done on foot. Host Francesca is super helpful and friendly. I stayed here for one month for work purposes and felt I was in paradise.

Professor Steen was an absolutely wonderful guest! Clear and kind communication from the very beginning, great respect for the house, and he left everything in impeccable condition. It was truly an honor to know that my property served as inspiration for his writing — such a special satisfaction for me as a host. I would gladly welcome him back anytime. Highly recommended!

My wife and I spent 15 days at this awesome location. The apartment is everything that a traveler might want. Comfort, cleanliness, all the perks that one wishes to have when away on vacation. The beach proximity makes a summer visit just about perfect and, by far, the most fantastic feature of the apartment is the incredible veranda overlooking the Straight of Messina with its continuous passing of ships, cruise liners and fishing boats. We spent hours, during our stay, just watching and enjoying.Francesca, the owner, was always ready to help and provide support in the typical warm way of the italian culture. We really did not need much but, when we needed anything, she was always ready to help. One more benefit to this apartment is its location. It is away from the chaos of Messina but everything you can dream of is available within a short walk. Messina is a great city to visit, though. It is easily reachable from the apartment by car or by bus. In summary, I cannot say enough about this place. If my wife and I are lucky enough to make a visit to the area again in the future, we will, undoubtedly be staying at this apartment. Cheers!

Paradise in Sicilia

It's a house full of love and history. A beautifully decorated and furnished apartment on the second floor in a family home with a kind and gracious hostess. She waited on the street for us while we fumbled around trying to find her and still smiled and embraced us like we were old friends or family. It could not have been any better. We didn't want to leave. When we come back on the next trip, we wouldn't want to stay anywhere else.

Magical Location!

Francesca is a wonderful host. She lives on the rooftop of the building and is always available via WhatsApp. The apartment is located 10 km northeast of Messina city centre in the suburb St. Agata at the beach. It includes a small bedroom with balcony (a bit noisy because of the traffic on the street), bathroom and a spacious combined living and dining room with integrated kitchen. Everything is well equipped and maintained. The most exciting feature is the large terrace (ca. 40 m2) with wooden furniture and a breathtaking view on the strait of Messina where one can watch the many boats and ships entering or leaving this magical spot. Supermarkets and restaurants are within walking distance. We greatly enjoyed our two weeks stay (august / September 2019) and can warmly recommend the place.

It is always a pleasure to have feedback from my guests. We are pleased to know that you have enjoyed your stay. Tobias and his wife were amazing guests. Communication was as smooth as can be, the place was left in great condition, and the house rules were respected. Thank you for your good comments and we hope to see you on your next trip to Sicily.

Great Appartment

We had a awesome Expirience there. We were greeted very lovely and she explained everything well to us. Her Englisch skills are very good. Unfortunatly the warm water wasn't working but she did EVERYTHING to make it work and after two days it worked again, wich was very great. She gave us a refund for the two days which was absolutely nice if her. Now let's get to the Appartement itself.The Balcony is obviously the highlight of the apartment and it didn't disappoint us for sure. The decoration fits perfectly together. The kitchen is good, you have everything you need. A Smart TV would have been great to acces Youtube f.E. but that wasn't soo tremendous. The area is great too there. There is a lovely little Fast food restaurant directly across the street. It's called "Pitoneria Portella Sant’Agata" it has great traditional food from Sicily and is also supriseingly cheap. Torre farro with the pylon is a highlight too there and definitely a worth visit. You can ask her kindly and she can recommend u plenty of great spots around the area and on Sicily too, (f.E the Etna or "Gole dell'Alcantara - Ingresso comunale" (type that in on google maps and dont go to the touristy thing becuse it's a waste of money and bring some water shoes and swimming trunks with you for a great Experience). Overall we had a great Experience there and we are looking forward to go back there in the future for sure.

Esperienza ottima!. Francesca ci ha accolti alla perfezione ed è stata attenta ad ogni dettaglio e ad ogni nostra esigenze. La casa è arredata con gusto, pulitissima, non manca assolutamente nulla. A sublimare il tutto una splendida terrazza privata sul mare con vista sullo Stretto. Ammirare quel paesaggio e poter cenare romanticamente su quel terrazzo e' un'esperienza davvero Impagabile. Consigliatissimo Anna e Gaetano

Ostern in Messina

Das Appartement hält, was es verspricht: Der Blick von der Terrasse ist traumhaft und die Zimmer sind stilvoll und gemütlich eingerichtet. Dass es im Badezimmer keinen Duschvorhang gibt, das ist das einzige kleine Minus. Francesca ist eine fürsorgliche und herzliche Gastgeberin. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen!
