Manzoni Elements

Nothing - we didn't end up staying!!

We booked 2 x water view rooms and when we checked in we were given 2 rooms overlooking a dirty apartment complex, no water views what so ever, the lady checking us in didn't say anything when she gave us the keys. We went back to reception but she had left, we called her and after some back and forth conversations she returned and said they dont have 2 water view rooms and that it was a mistake from booking.com. We booked these rooms back at the beginning of the year! She offered one of our rooms to be moved the following night but said they were fully booked. There was no apology, the lady was quite rude so we decided not to stay and requested a refund. She did refund us but wanted us to cancel our reservation on booking.com which we refused as it was their fault we were not staying as we didn't get the rooms that were booked. She got quite angry and after a conversation with booking.com we left to find a nicer , friendlier, water view accommodation for our stay.

A lovely view of the port from our balcony. The breakfast was good compared with the typical B&B in Sicily. Coffee and tea in the room too. The host was helpful. We were pleased we could leave our bags at reception for a few hours before we left the town. Location great: 2 min walk to the ferry terminal.

The shower screen had half a screen missing, so the floor got a bit wet.

clean, spacious room with a king-size bed, massage tub in the room, friendly and helpful staff also reachable by phone and online, excellent breakfast on the hotel terrace overlooking the harbor, free coffee in the lounge area in front of the room, in the center next to the harbor, excellent starting point for the Aeolian Islands, many bars and a bakery in the area, ...

It is difficult to find a parking space (including paid parking) near the accommodation.

Lovely little hotel, very near to the ferry to Lipari. Great breakfast on the roof terrace

Nothing

We were very surprised by this modern room and great location. It was perfect for touring the city and for taking the ferry. The check in was early and we were warmly welcomed.

No complaints

Chose property based on proximity to ferry terminal and reviews. We are a 2 minute walk away so we can sit in the roof deck and go over just before boarding - avoiding heat and crowds of the port. The room was unexpectedly elegant, perhaps the best room we have had in Sicily and for the price the best. We had an excellent dinner recommendation (Doppio Gusto) 5 mins away. Breakfast was served on the very pleasant roof terrace. Overall excellent

Very friendly staff and lovely breakfast.

Parking was a bit difficult but worked out in the end.
