My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our 5 day stay at the Mare Nostrum. While the surrounding neighborhood was not the cleanest, we could see the pride Claudio and his father, Carmelo take in keeping their property tidy and inviting. It definitely gives the feeling of being in your own private villa, though it has multiple buildings that are rented as B&B.
The easy walk to the beach, the choice of using the pool, and even the convenience of catching the train in either direction of Palermo or Messina makes this a perfect spot to just relax! Claudio was always available by phone to answer the simplest of questions. And Carmelo was such a gentlemen and took time to chat about the surrounding area.
One note to consider- if you like to cook a bit, you should pick up basic supplies (seasoning, oil, etc) as none were provided. However, there were plenty of dishes and cookware. Oh, and the washing machine work very well! We certainly recommend this B&B for its value, it’s comfort, and its respectful hosts!
