Villafranca Tirrena Hotels

"Excellent staff and service at a nice hotel. The quality of the mattress, sheets and towels was fantastic. Breakfast was great as well. Only minuses were (1) hot water could be stronger and (2) the electronic lights didn’t work, so we just manually shut them off. Overall, still a great stay! "

"I'm used to 3 star hotels. This hotel is truly 4 star. The cleanliness, the staff and our very affordable ocean view suite with spectacular views of Mt. Etna, the Straits of Messina, and sunsets was wonderful. The robes and slippers is a nice perk. The hotel location is a few minutes walk to the high speed ferry to Messina, Sicily and a few minutes walk to the Lido train station. The hotel is convenient to the Lungomare waterfront and the famous Archeological Museum as well as several art galleries and shopping. All less than 10 minutes away by walking. Bocconissimo, the fabulous hotel restaurant, is open for a full buffet breakfast 7-10 am and dinner from 7:30-10 pm with a spectacular menu from delicious pizza to scrumptious pasta dishes, all with no salt and pepper needed, like some restaurants in Italy I've experienced. The downside to this hotel is the surroundings which were devastated by storm Harry in January. The city is working hard to restore the waterfront. However,don't miss this one!!!"

"Old and not too clean"

"Clean room, great position, staff always available, warm welcome , great breakfast , great view /// "

"This hotel is a total dump. Rooms are outright unsafe and full of black mold. Missing and loose floor boards are a tripping hazard. Does not look anything like the photos in the Expedia listing and booking info. Massively overpriced, old and falling apart literally. "

"The room was clean and ok, and the staff was very helpful and courteous. "

"Nice place, stuff was very kindly."

"Very convenient and comfortable hotel right by the station and museum. Wonderful breakfast and friendly and helpful staff."
