Df Room Borgo Antico Bari Vecchia Historic Comfort

Borgo Antico rooms are found in a really nice part of Messina surrounded by shops, restaurants, and cafes. 10 min walk to the ferry if going to mainland Italy or same if needing to go Messina maritima. Location, therefore, is excellent. The host, Carlo, is very helpful and very approachable. He answered my million questions within minutes without an issue. The room is huge and pristine. Beautiful, comfortable bed, tastefully renovated recently with a well proportioned bathroom with all the amenities needed. Coffee machine, air conditioning and water. Small fridge. There are special touches like slippers, biscuits and intimate wash to use when using the bidet. The shower pressure is spectacular and of course, bathroom extremely clean. There's a full length mirror and a corner couch which turns into a single bed (if you bring a young child). There's an air conditioner and small sensor lights in case you need to go to the bathroom in the dark, as you need to step up to the bathroom. The high ceiling in this room is my favourite. Meticulously painted to match the colours of the beautiful tiles on the floor. The chandelier also adds an elegant touch. This is a place for couples who are able bodied as there are long marble stairs to the rooms plus many doors to manouver. Steps to the big secure gate, then another step up to the floor then a step down into the room. I assume this was done during the renovation to be able to fit the plumbing. If time was on our side, we would have loved a longer stay. Thank you Carlo!

I stumbled on this beautiful place with it's wonderful hosts by chance. I was reminded of the goodness and kindness of people. And even though we don't speak the same language, à welcome is universal, and the grâce and generousity that was offered is rare. Thank you all 💜🦄

Perfect location. We were there 2 nights in Octobre. We had room n.1. Everything was clean and new. Good price. It just bothered me that the room didn't have a classic window. It has a window to the corridor where other guests go. We heard the door, others walking and couldn't ventilate. There is air conditioning, but I prefer to use the fresh air from outside. The bathroom is small but clean and new.
