What guests think
At Il galleone, guests highlight the very central location near the Duomo, spotless and tastefully decorated rooms, and exceptionally kind, proactive hosts who share great local tips, enable smooth check in, and even provide thoughtful above and beyond assistance.
Breakfast is generally simple—often packaged items or a nearby café voucher—though coffee and occasional extras are appreciated. Some guests reported street noise on weekend nights and note that parking follows typical city conditions, sometimes challenging but manageable. Expect a comfortable, thoughtfully run base for visiting Messina.

Het appartement is gelegen vlak bij een plein in een smalle straat waar het moeilijk parkeren is. Er is geen ontbijt in het appartement zelf, je krijgt een voucher voor aan het plein gelegen koffiezaak waar je een broche kan eten en koffie kan bestellen. Het is ons tegengevallen, maar misschien waren onze verwachtingen te hoog.

Abbiamo deciso di prolungare di un'ulteriore notte la nostra permanenza in struttura, perché ci siamo trovati davvero bene. Oltre alla colazione al bar, consigliata la brioches e la granita al caffè con la panna, Antonella e Rosario mettono a disposizione dei loro ospiti tutto il necessario per fare colazione in appartamento. C'è il caffè espresso, il bollitore con tisane e tè, crostatine, fette biscottate, marmellate, plumcake, brioches confezionate, cereali e latte. Il forno a microonde permette di scaldare cibi e bevande. Non è consentito l'uso del piano cottura a gas, ma non è assolutamente un problema. Sono ottimi anche i prodotti per la doccia messi a disposizione degli ospiti. La strada antistante il B&B è poco trafficata e si trova parcheggio facilmente. Consigliamo di lasciare parcheggiata la macchina su strada, senza pensieri.

Das Galleone ist eine gute Wahl, praktisch gelegen im Zentrum und sogar mit (kostenpflichtiger) Parkmöglichkeit direkt in der Straße. Frühstück ist noch typisch sizilianisch, aber die Kaffeemaschine in der Küche ist ein großes Plus! Management ausgesprochen freundlich und hilfsbereit (einschl. Restaurantempfehlung).

This B&B was quiet and classy. The amenities and beautiful decor were perfect and we enjoyed our stay. Parking was typical city parking, not the easiest but doable. Once we parked, we didn’t need the car and we easily walked to dinner and in the surrounding neighborhood. The kitchen was very well appointed. We would highly recommend

Pros:Antonella and Rosario, our hosts, were super friendly and helpful in settling us into our room, and giving us information about the area. Our room and facilities we could not fault. Location within walking distance to historical area and local restaurants. Parking was relatively easy. Cons: We checked in on a Saturday and the street noise, that night, until 230am was quite distracting. Sunday night was far better. Left on Monday so cannot comment on weekdays. Overall a very positive experience.

Good location; walking distance to some attractions such as the Duomo as well as the train station. We attended a free concert at the Duomo the first night we were there; a pleasant surprise. Ample local transit, no problem getting around Messina.

The property was well-located and quiet. However, it could have more comfortable pillows, and the air conditioner should be adjusted. Sometimes, the place was too hot. The internet connection is poor, as it does not reach the entire room. The TV is small but enough. I enjoyed the stay in this place.

The room was really nice with comfortable bed and a good shower. The breakfast is just packaged goods and stale cereal but tea, coffee etc is good. We stayed on a Friday night, arriving quite late. We were awoken many times throughout the night with cars racing up the street and often with music blaring. To our surprise in the morning, the street that we thought must have a main road, was just a small street. Anyway, this is not the fault of the property. They were very nice and helpful and let us leave our bags after check out.

The location is perfect for getting around Messina. The decor has been beautifully and lovingly curated. What makes this place stand out is the owners who work as a team to make your stay perfect. I got very sick and was hospitalized while staying there. Antonella called the ambulance and gave my wife updates since no one at the hospital spoke English. She even called a taxi when she found out I was being discharged. We will never forget Antonella and Rosario's kindness. We would give this spot 10 stars if possible.

Nice room ,very clean.Check in was easy and we were facilitated with and earlier than expected check in. Property on a quiet street but only 100 meters or so from the Cathedral. Lots of options for restaurants and thanks to recommendations we received from the owner we had a couple of nights in very traditional local restaurants

Het appartement is gelegen vlak bij een plein in een smalle straat waar het moeilijk parkeren is. Er is geen ontbijt in het appartement zelf, je krijgt een voucher voor aan het plein gelegen koffiezaak waar je een broche kan eten en koffie kan bestellen. Het is ons tegengevallen, maar misschien waren onze verwachtingen te hoog.

Abbiamo deciso di prolungare di un'ulteriore notte la nostra permanenza in struttura, perché ci siamo trovati davvero bene. Oltre alla colazione al bar, consigliata la brioches e la granita al caffè con la panna, Antonella e Rosario mettono a disposizione dei loro ospiti tutto il necessario per fare colazione in appartamento. C'è il caffè espresso, il bollitore con tisane e tè, crostatine, fette biscottate, marmellate, plumcake, brioches confezionate, cereali e latte. Il forno a microonde permette di scaldare cibi e bevande. Non è consentito l'uso del piano cottura a gas, ma non è assolutamente un problema. Sono ottimi anche i prodotti per la doccia messi a disposizione degli ospiti. La strada antistante il B&B è poco trafficata e si trova parcheggio facilmente. Consigliamo di lasciare parcheggiata la macchina su strada, senza pensieri.

Das Galleone ist eine gute Wahl, praktisch gelegen im Zentrum und sogar mit (kostenpflichtiger) Parkmöglichkeit direkt in der Straße. Frühstück ist noch typisch sizilianisch, aber die Kaffeemaschine in der Küche ist ein großes Plus! Management ausgesprochen freundlich und hilfsbereit (einschl. Restaurantempfehlung).

Antonella made self check in easy, and Rosario was kind and left us a beautiful surprise for our Anniversary with towel swans on our bed. We also enjoyed visiting with Rosario at breakfast in the kitchen. We chose the accommodation due to it was close to the cathedral. It was clean and comfortable.

The room was really nice with comfortable bed and a good shower. The breakfast is just packaged goods and stale cereal but tea, coffee etc is good. We stayed on a Friday night, arriving quite late. We were awoken many times throughout the night with cars racing up the street and often with music blaring. To our surprise in the morning, the street that we thought must have a main road, was just a small street. Anyway, this is not the fault of the property. They were very nice and helpful and let us leave our bags after check out.

The location was superb. Right in the centre, everything was very close. Hostess was amazing, let us check in sooner as we needed to catch the midday astronomical clock. Which we did. Antonella also gave us loads of recommendations for restaurants, beaches, and swimming pools. The accommodation was very clean with great amenities, very modern and stylish with air conditioning which is a must in summer in Sicily. If I have to pick something I’d say the room doesn’t have enough natural light. But since we stayed only one night we didn’t really mind. Thank you Antonella.
