B&B Il Vecchio Messina

Right in the centre of the old town. Stunning Italian building, good value and perfect host.

Though aged, Maria’s home is unique in Trapani. The street entrance and garden are a wonderful sight. The shared bathrooms are clean and well equipped, just like the rooms, with touches like extra pillows, a kettle and tea as well as a fridge. I had room 10 to myself and loved how the doors of the two balconies could be opened for airflow, the sound of street life below and lots of light entering the room. Mosquito nets keep the bugs out, and the winery opposite the building that opens in the evenings is a treat (€3 for a glass of local red / white!); so is Pizzeria Calvino around the corner. A beautifully lit boulevard where you can watch sunset is a 1 min walk away. Maria was attentive and helpful with storing my bicycle safely during my stay. Grazie e à la prossima!

The hostess was highly accommodating: I came late at night, and she was waiting for me to greet and hand over keys. The room itself is located in a historic building of XVIII century, which is charming but not necessarily suited for the modern concept of convenience. For me, it was OK as I am a history fan. Before booking this place, it's a good idea to call Signora Maria first to check if a promotion is offered. Again, this building is old and may not be suitable for those who value modern amenities.

The owner of the hostel was very welcoming. A cosy location right in Trapani's old town near the cathedral. Perfect for solo travellers. -

Beautiful building, lovely staff and easy check in at night. It was a little noisy outside which might bother someone searching for a calm nights sleep.

Friendly evening staff. This is not a Bed and Breakfast. Collocated with another B&B. Paying for location, I guess. No parking nearby.

Room is exactly as pictured with a cute little terrace. The bed was confortable and the location was great!

Fabulous location, lovely old place like feel of a place, right in the historic centre with restaurants at your doorstep. Very clean and quiet. No lift. Many stairs to climb. Difficult if heavy suitcase. Luckily the host helped me on arrival

Maria, the owner, made my stay so wonderful; she was very helpful in everything - helped me with my luggage taking it up the stairs and bringing it down when I said goodbye!!! She even left a bottled water in the mini fridge to welcome me! She was always quick to reply to my messages. Facade of the building was beautiful. As always in the case for centuries old property, there are no elevators as usual, vintage look everywhere, but my private room was spacious with very high ceiling, floor to ceiling window that opened into a small balcony and so with the bathrooms. Touch of vintages tables lend a beautiful decor to my bedroom. Love the sink & small refrigerator in the room. The location is smack dab in the middle of everything on the main tourist area where most of the attractions, dining, shopping & cafes are! It was 10-minute walk to the bus station for local or inter cities! My bed was very comfortable & linens were fresh n stark white!!! Thanks a million, Maria, for making my Trapani vacation that much more memorable! Although the bed was very comfortable, the bed springs creak?

The room was very charming and comfortable. There was a welcome cool breeze from the balcony, and the hostess, Maria, provided a fan for me as well. Maria was very friendly and accommodating. This property is right in the center of restaurants and shops on a lovely street. Such a great value for your money! There was no air conditioning, a lot of stairs, and there was no bathroom in the room. But, they were located right outside the door, so there were no problems at all. I would stay here again in a heartbeat ?

fantastic location and view of the Palermo Bay The owner was so helpful in all ways I do hope to return

The location is good, staff was very friendly The room was kinda old

Great location. Very lovely personal. No air-condition No private bathroom

Beautiful and spacious rooms. The host is very friendly and accommodating. I would definitely stay again!

Very nice and responsive host. BB has a nice and authentic design. Very clean, central place. Even the bathroom was shared, it didn’t cause any problem. There are several bathrooms. Since the place is on the central pedestrian street, Friday night was quite noisy. No AC, just a fan.
