B&B Case a San Matteo

Fijn in het centrum

The apartment was a great size with a large sitting/bedroom with comfy sofas and another office off that room. The office had storage for clothes a small fridge and a small table with a kettle and tea cups. The apartment looked over a church on the street side and a lovely internal courtyard. The apartment comes with air-conditioning in the main sitting/bedroom. The linen is also fantastic and 100% cotton. The apartment is very accessible to the historic centre and there is free parking within a 2 minute walk.

The tiny bathroom was not what we expected and very difficult to use. The entire bathroom is the shower there is a rain shower in the middle of the ceiling. 2 shower curtain are used to minimise the water going everywhere. This does not work at all. When you are showering your legs are pressed up against the toilet. The entire room floods with water when the shower is in use. To dry yourself you need to stand in the office area. The bathroom is also entirely wet as the water takes time to drain. If you need to use the toilet or sink both are covered in water. For us this was a safety issue as well as being very inconvenient. The electrics are to close to the water source and even the toilet paper is sat on a radiator outside the bathroom. There is also the potential of a fall as the bathroom needs at least an hour to dry out. It also also important to note that the 1 bed in the room in not a bed but a fold out sofa that is so hard and uncomfortable we chose to sleep on the 2 sofas. I want to add that the host did listen to our concerns and tried to resolve the issues a mop and bucket were provided for the bathroom and a mattress topper was ordered for the bed.

The breakfast was amazing, local produce laid out on the terrace for us each morning by Tiziana and her family. A highlight of every day! We also got some great advice about local trips over breakfast as we chatted. Tizania also arranged a fabulous local taxi for us for an early morning trip to the airport, as well as sending us a link to book bus tickets from the airport when we arrived and had more time to be adventurous. Furthermore she very kindly invited us into her home to view the Easter parade from her balcony overlooking the street which was a real treat, especially for my wife.

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay in Marsala. The B&B is in a beautifully maintained older home. A very nice breakfast was served each morning on a terrace overlooking the courtyard. What was most appreciated was Tiziana's advice and help in seeing some of the local tourist attractions.

Breakfast on terrace with Maria from kitchen. Fresh items. Not processed junk food. The enclosed courtyard. The open stairs and gallery. Not gentrifiede or pseudo or tarted up or kitsch.

The latch mechanism and hinges of the bathroom door require lubrication to alleviate squeaking and creaking.

The location, the palace building which was gorgeous and rustic and the room was absolutely beautiful. I adored my stay and Maria and Tiziana. I would love to return here! In fact, I would live here if I could!

Perfect position, close to centre but quiet. Pretty courtyard garden. Lovely big private room. Very comfortable. Friendly communication with host. Tiziana even provided a safe place to park our motorbike.

Small bathroom, but still functional
