Very centrally located, close to shops & churches, one of cinemas in Trapani and the port. 2 flights of stairs to access property, which might be tricky for persons with limited mobility. Nice inner yard on entrance with various plants. Comfy room with wifi access, balcony, heating/fan, mini-fridge, wardrobe, single sofa. Very welcoming and helpful host.
Appartamento stupendo, in pieno centro storico e all'interno di un palazzo di baroni a dir poco favoloso, ben tenuto e accogliente. Le stanze sono ampie e pulite, idem i bagni. La proprietaria è molto simpatica e alla mano, disponibile a dare informazioni e consigli per godersi appieno questa bellissima città.
La signora che gestisce il B&B è una persona solare, gentilissima e cordiale. Pronta a aiutare, consigliare e farti sentire a proprio agio. L’atmosfera quieta e antica della casa riporta ad altri tempi e rasserena. La posizione centralissima è impagabile e il suo unico difetto è forse il rumore è il parlare che arriva dalla strada a certe ore del giorno.
Non consiglio questa location a persone che abbiano problemi nel salire le scale, poiché ve ne sono parecchie da fare; o per chi non ama condividere il bagno con altri. Perfetta invece x chi voglia godersi per alcuni giorni l’atmosfera di Trapani e sfruttare tutto ciò che vi è anche nei dintorni, sentendosi come “a casa”...
Er was niemand aanwezig toen ik aan kwam. Alhoewel ik een berichtje gestuurd had over onze aankomst tijd. Heb 45 minuten buiten moeten wachten. Kamer was heel klein er armoedig. Bed was keihard.
Toen ik vroeg of ik een kopie koffie kon bestellen was het antwoord Nee. Alhoewel er wel koffie geserveerd word bij het BnB. De Locatie is prachtig in het oude centrum, maar daar houd het dan ook wel mee op.
Pousada econômica, simples, familiar, localizada próxima a praia e ao centro histórico de Trapani.
Quartos espaçosos com sacada.
Nosso quarto tinha quatro camas de solteiro, colchão, roupa de cama e lençois bons.
Banheiros compartilhados, equipados e limpos
Local silencioso e tranquilo para caminhar a noite.
Não tomamos café.
O ponto positivo e relevante é a simpatia e a cordialidade dos donos. Nos sentimos em casa. Recomendo a todos os jovens que queiram se hospedar nesta pousada para conhecer esta cidade maravilhosa.
Deixou saudades.
Przyjemna obsługa, nie było problemu z późnym przyjazdem (1 w nocy). Kapitalne położenie przy głównym deptaku starej części Trapani, blisko do portu, na plażę, dookoła knajpy, pizzerie, sklepiki. Wyjątkowy klimat miejsca - to chyba część jakiejś XIX-wiecznej rezydencji podzielona na mniejsze pokoje.
Il B&B Vecchio Messina, si trova in pieno centro, all'interno di uno dei tanti palazzi d'epoca ed aristocratici di Trapani. Forte di questa posizione avrete voglia di perdervi in una delle strade della "medina" trapanese, per gustare l'ottimo ed economico street food locale o il pesce in uno dei tanti ristoranti, anche dopo una lunga giornata spese a fare escursioni o vedere le isole dell'arcipelago egadiano. Praticamente di fronte alla struttura c'è un'enoteca che dispone di una buona scelta di vini siciliani da gustare in strada, in un'atmosfera rilassata. Le camere ed i bagni del B&B sono puliti e la proprietaria (Maria, se non ricordo male!) è molto gentile e disponibile a fornire informazioni sulle cose da fare a Trapani e dintorni. Consiglio questa struttura per la posizione, la cordialità e cortesia della proprietaria e l'ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo.
Abbiamo soggiornato presso il b&b nelle settimane centrali di Agosto, la struttura è in pieno centro storico della città di Trapani, vicinissima al porto ove partono traghetti per Favignana, Levanzo e Marettimo, vicinissima ai principali monumenti e comoda per piccole gite giornaliere.
La colazione offerta dalla proprietaria è ottima e servita in camera.
Le stanze sono spaziose e dotate di un comodissimo frigorifero.
Ottima la pulizia.

Maria the owner was very accommodating and friendly. She was happy to answer any questions I had about Trapani and Sicilian culture. The building is historic and the location was ideal, near the beach, center, shopping, good restaurants and a supermarket. Definitely recommend it.
