Guest Reviews
- STEFANO (9/5): Ottima soluzione per chi non vuole spendere troppo - La struttura in generale ma sopratutto per la posizione centralissima! Tutto perfetto
- Miroslav (10/5): -
- Jitka (10/5): Úžasné skvělé ubytování. - Ubytování v historickém centru s příjemnou hostitelkou paní Marii. Ideální pro pohodový pobyt. Vybavení promyšlené do detailu. Vrátím se. Nic mi nevadilo.
- Gładysz (10/5): -
- Nicholas (8/5): -
- Carole (9/5): Lovely locally run BnB, highly recommended. - Lovely place to stay, really warm welcome. Felt like home, great value. I would definitley return. All good :)
- Ylke (7/5): Hostel like - De ligging. Het mooiste gebouw v Trapani wrs De inrichting kamer, hard bed maar lieve eigenaresse
- Gerardo (9/5): A worthy and will surely come back stay in Trapani! - The style of the property was really nice. The facade doesnt look like an accommodation. I did love it. Though i only stayed for 1 night, ill definitely come back and stay again! The staff ( i forgot to ask her name) was very helpful. She even waited for me to arrive which was past 12 midnight which was helpful. Grazie! Hmm, i think generally i liked it.
- Ana (10/5): - Edificio histórico en el centro de la ciudad, bien conservado y adaptado. La signora Maria muy atenta.
- Verity (6/5): Good for one night - Very good location and very nice owner , bnb has very pretty decorations and has a vintage style I found the bed really uncomfortable- but this could be personal preference. Also I found that there wasn’t very many facilities - but for the money this makes sense.
- Lucia (10/5): - The best stay in Sicily. Absolutely the city center, right in the pedestrian zone but well protected from the noise of the bars. It is a beautiful big apartment in a historic house, I immediately felt at home. Maria was very friendly and helpful. I parked in the blue zone, about 5 minutes walk.

- Maria (9/5): - Perfect location. Very pleasant and helpful hostess
- Francoise (10/5): - Le logement est très bien situé et l entrée est magnifique. Maria est très accueillante . Avec les fenêtres c est calme. Très agréable d être dans un logement typique et ancien. Un peu sombre dans la chambre
- TING NI (9/5): 位在舊城中心地理位置便利 - 民宿位在一棟漂亮的古老宅邸中並且就在舊城主街上,共用衛浴空間總是乾淨整潔用心維護,房間內有小洗手台也很方便,並且提供熱水壺與冰箱,距離港口與巴士站牌非常近,方便前來與跳島 打開窗戶可能會有樓下餐廳的油煙味,床有點偏硬
- Dr. Mattia (10/5): Ottimo soggiorno! - Tutto come da descrizione! Posizione TOP! Palazzo storico bellissimo! Se tornerò a Trapani verrò nuovamente a trovarvi, per il momento grazie!
- LEONARDO (9/5): - Posizione strategica. Ambiente pulito. Proprietaria disponibile e cordiale. Struttura storica molto caratteristica Pareti sottilissime tra una stanza e l’altra
- Davide (10/5): - Mi sono trovato benissimo, posizione ottima al centro, camera pulita.
Propietaria gentilissima e disponibile.
- Josefine (9/5): -
- Liviu (9/5): Historical building near port - Nice helpful host.
Clean
Historical Building The room is a bit dark, even if you open the window.
At night there's a/c noise from the street plus kitchen smell from adjoining restaurants.
- Giulia (9/5): Un posticino curato sul corso di Trapani - Struttura curata e fornita di tutto. Posizione super centrale. Staff gentile e disponibile. Buona la qualità-prezzo. Il patio interno è molto bello!
- Jana (7/5): -
- Helena (9/5): - Pokud milujete staré budovy a nábytek, budete v tomto ubytování šťastní. Máte-li rádi modernější interiéry, není to pro vás. Když jsem vystupovala do brány paláce z 18.st.v samém srdci Trapani, nemohla jsem uvěřit, že tu budu bydlet. Maria se postarala, abych se v klidu dostala do bytu a svého pokoje. Byt je velký se 3 koupelnami, nikdy nebyly plně obsazený. Pokoje jsou různé, můj byl akorát, výška stropu 5m😀. Mají skvělou WiFi. V pokoji je umyvadlo, lednička a varná konvice, na francouzském balkonku sušák.. Některé pokoje jsou orientovány do ulice, kde je rybí restaurace, takže je dobré občas zavřít okno. Výborný poměr ceny a služby. Ubytování není dokonalé, ale atmosféra ano. Pokud se do Trapani vrátím, tak jedině tam!
- Guarino (10/5): - La signora era gentilissima.
Il posto eccezionale.
The manager Is really very kind.
Place exclusive
- Grant (10/5): Perfect - The host was very very nice and helpful No complaints
- Delia (10/5): Formidable !! - L' emplacement la chambre et le style de cette belle maison d hôte,les salles de bains aussi toutes très agréables à utiliser.
- Yongil (10/5): -
- Jorge (9/5): Estupendo - María fue un encanto, el hotel está en la calle principal de Trapani y la habitación y los baños muy grandes y cómodos. Tuve un poco de frío pero enseguida Maria me trajo una estufa.
- Martin Michael (8/5): - - freundliches Personal
- sehr gute, zentrale Lage in der Altstadt sowie unweit vom Meer und Hafen
- sauber, angenehm, ordentlich Leider war es in meinem Zimmer kalt (Anfang April). Maria hat mir mit einem Heizstrahler schnell ausgeholfen. Dieser hat leider nur etwas geholfen, allerdings zählt die Geste :-)
- Mantvydasd (7/5): -
- Оксана (10/5): - Все було чудово. Чиста ванна кімната, правда злив в душовій був повільний. Номер достатньо просторий, ліжко велике і зручне. Не вистачало вночі теплої ковдри. Трохи змерзла
- Bogdan (10/5): - The place is magnificent, located in the heart of Trapani in a historic building. For the price, it’s truly exceptional. Very atmospheric. The proprietor is extremely cordial
- Manuel Ignacio (10/5): -
- Alexandre (10/5): - La chambre dans laquelle j'étais avait un charme fou, je ne sais comment l'expliquer mais je me suis très bien senti dedans.
Plein centre, a côté de la mer et des pizzeria, très bon séjour, je suis resté plus longtemps que prévu.
Ancora Grazie.
- Vladimir (9/5): Full of history in the midst of a beautiful city. - 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.
- Qlibia (10/5): -
- Blanka (10/5): - Very nice and comfortable accomodation :)
- MatesD (7/5): - Excellent location near the train station and port, right in the historic city and close to the sea and beach. Also good bus connections nearby, most bus lines go directly to the port. High-quality and stable wifi in the room. Very nice owner, always willing to help and advise. especially in the evening, traffic noise and screaming people on the street, such an urban classic
- Anna (10/5): Fantàstica, un lloc preciós! - Molt bé. La propietaria molt amable i disponible. L'espai, preciós. Moltes comoditats a l'habitació, com ara bullidor i pica. Molt recomabale.
- Sarah (10/5): -
- jocelyn (10/5): - Super emplacement sans un palazzio du 17eme siècle
- Sartori (10/5): Super - Lo consiglio.Sono stato benissimo ed ho trovato calorosa accoglienza e al tempo stesso riservatezza. Graziosa struttura in posizione tattica per il mare e non solo.
- Carolina (10/5): Excepcional - María es un amor y me trató de manera excepcional preocupándose de mi hora de llegada, que todo estuviera a mi gusto y recomendándome sitios que visitar con horarios y precisiones sobre los desplazamientos. Me sentí como en casa y de hecho he vuelto una segunda vez. Super recomendable, situado en la calle principal de los restaurantes, edificio histórico muy bonito y práctico para llegar al puerto, a la estación de bus del aeropuerto y principales puntos turísticos de interés.
- ANTONIO (5/5): - posizione 5 rampe di scale e niente aria condizionata
- Emmersen (10/5): -
- paolo (8/5): -
- Sodiq (9/5): -
- Saponara (8/5): -
- Kieran (9/5): - Amazing location, friendly staff A bit chilly but had use of a heater
- Martin (9/5): -
- Alex (8/5): -
- andrea (9/5): - La signora Maria è stata di una gentilezza e di un’accoglienza rare: simpatica, disponibile e autentica come poche persone sanno essere. Il bagno condiviso era impeccabile e dotato di tutto ciò di cui avevo bisogno; un B&B davvero ben rifornito, cosa ormai difficile da trovare.
L’edificio è meraviglioso, antico e pieno di fascino, probabilmente appartenuto a famiglie benestanti dell’epoca. La posizione è centralissima, con un ingresso e un chiostro splendidi, letteralmente situato in una delle vie principali della città.
Quando tornerò a Trapani, non ho dubbi: sceglierò di nuovo la signora Maria. Solo una cosa, ma questo non è ricollegabile alla struttura in sé per sé, ma c’è un ristorante di pesce in una via traversa che se lasci la finestra aperta entra tutto l’odore dentro, però è normale, consiglio sia Maria che il ristorante.
- CAROLE (8/5): -
- Emanuele (10/5): -
- Hélène (10/5): - Everything was perfect. The single room is confortable, clean and spacious. The shared bathroom is also super clean. And Maria is a lovely host.
- Leo (9/5): -
- coralina34 (8/5): - La amabilidad de la propietaria y la ubicación. Habitación limpia y amplia No hay aire acondicionado, pero si dos ventiladores potentes que sumados a la brisa nocturna permitieron un buen descanso
- Elisabetta (7/5): - Posizione
- Hiroaki (10/5): I strongly recommend this hotel. - Super good location. Traditional. NIL
- sylwia (10/5): - Pokój był czysty, było w nim wszystko czego potrzeba, właścicielka była bardzo miła, miałam możliwość zostawienia bagażu I skorzystania z łazienki po wymeldowaniu z pokoju
- Yentel (10/5): - I really enjoyed my stay at B&B Il Vecchio Messina. It’s located in the centre of the old town, close to everything. I was welcomed by Maria, the friendly host of the place, who could text with all my questions if necessary. The room was very clean and the shared bathroom as well. I would definitely recommend it to others and come back if I’d visit again.
- Martin (10/5): - Friendly staff, comfy atmosphere
And while bathrooms were it wasn't "dormitory-style" shower rooms but instead just really clean normal bathrooms like a rental home. The house itself and the decorations were beautiful and the location is just plain perfect. Really good value and I'll definitely be coming back. Also appreciated the electric kettle in the room (and fridge). Unless you're an AC-averse German you might want to verify during the hot summer months because it seems not all rooms have proper AC
- Tommaso (8/5): -
- Prem (8/5): - Wunderschoene Lage. Und im geteilten Bad findet man echt ALLES was man braucht. Von der Sonnencreme bis zu Hygieneprodukten bis zum Deo.
- Dario (10/5): Trapani offre nelle vicinanze molti posti interessanti da visitare, quindi consiglio di affittare un’auto o uno scooter. - Pulizia quasi maniacale dei bagni, una posizione centrale vicina a ristoranti, bar e pasticcerie, Maria, la proprietaria, sempre pronta a dare consigli e fornire assistenza
- Chris (10/5): - It's simple accomodation but perfectly central. It's shared bathrooms but they are cleaned everyday. The host is wonderfully helpful and kind and works very hard to make sure everything is just right.
- giampietro (10/5): -
- katarzyna (10/5): Three nights in an antique house :-) - - kind landlady - very communicative and helpful, especially when it comes to storing the luggage on the day of checking out - grazie mille!
- fantastic old building with a great leafy courtyard!
- antique looking flat with home-looking interior
- small and cosy room
- three bathrooms!
- convenient location in the main street of the old town - within walking distance to all points of interest - the ferry port, the promenade, all restaurants, churches It could be a bit noisy in the evening as there are restaurants all around with people eating and talking till late but even though I'm a light sleeper, the sounds didn't bother me
There's no air conditioning in the room; the fan on the ceiling didn't help much, but the floor fan which could be placed right next to the bed did the job for me
- Buisson (9/5): - L’accueil très chaleureux , l’ambiance familiale , une chambre très spacieuse et bien équipée et un emplacement parfait.
- Barbara (9/5): Wir hatten eine gute entsoannte Zeit im B&B - Das originale

- Veronique (10/5): Exceptionnel - L'accueil chaleureux et souriant de Maria, beaucoup de bienveillance, un vrai rayon de soleil. Le confort de l'établissement, la propreté, bonne literie, douches et sanitaires communs toujours impeccables. La proximité du centre et de la plage. Enfin j'ai tout aimé
- Anastasiya (10/5): - The location of the B&B is great, room was spacious and cosy, and the host is very nice and friendly 😊
- Cristina (10/5): Wonderful stay! - Everything was perfect! The location was unbeatable, Maria always super kind and helpful and the room and the building are really beautiful and full of charm!
I will definitely stay here again when I come back to Trapani!
- Fabrizio (9/5): -
- lathotep Nyar (10/5): -
- Lorenzo (8/5): -
- Marcella (8/5): Ottima base di appoggio per chi è attento al budget - Posizione centralissima in un antico palazzo di grande charme. Ottima accoglienza da parte di Maria, che è in grado di fornire informazioni anche sugli orari dei traghetti e dei trasfert per gli aeroporti. Si tratta un un vecchio appartamento con i bagni in comune (molto puliti) e non c'è colazione, ma a un prezzo assolutamente adeguato L'appartamento è al terzo piano senza ascensore: l'importante è non avere bagagli pesanti!. La mia stanza non aveva aria condizionata ma era munita di pale sul soffitto e di un ventilatore a terra.
- Tinatin (8/5): -
- Antonella (10/5): -
- Maria Teresa (9/5): Centrale economico e confortevole - Struttura centralissima gestita da un'oste gentilissima e accoglienza famigliare. Bagni in comune sempre puliti con salviette disinfettanti a disposizione, lavandino in camera comodo e utilissimo!
Stanza pulita e confortevole. Scale un po' strette
- Victoria (10/5): - Très bien situé au centre de la vielle ville, propre et assez calme.
- Zampella (9/5): -
- Valentina Ciummo (8/5): - La posizione è davvero ottima: vicina al porto (per visitare le isole) ma anche ad alcune spiagge molto suggestive. La zona è ricca di vita e servizi (ristoranti, bar, rosticcerie). La camera è silenziosa perché affaccia su una via laterale. Gli ambienti sono un po' fatiscenti, ma trattandosi di un palazzo storico, è anche giusto cercare di mantenere lo stile originario e il fascino dell'epoca.
