    Pulizia impeccabile, bagno enorme, la teleria profumatissima, senza contare che è una villa piena di storia con libri e un pianoforte a disposizione e un patio vista mare con tavolini e sedie. Un vero peccato passarci solo una notte!

Neighbourhood information

Villa Scilla e Cariddi is located in a hillside residential area, surrounded by greenery, with a spectacular view of the Strait of Messina. While it is a quiet and private area, it is well-connected to the main attractions and strategic points of the city. The location is perfect for those who want to enjoy peace and tranquility without sacrificing convenience: Only 3 km from the historic center of Messina. 2 km from the ferries to Calabria and other destinations. Just a few minutes from the Pace waterfront and the MUME Museum of Messina, which houses works by Caravaggio and Antonello da Messina. Near the university district and UNIME, the CUS Messina sports center with a pool, and the Pala Nebiolo baseball field. The ATM bus lines 20, 22, and 23 stop right in front of the villa at the "Contrada Citola" stop. However, we recommend moving around with your own means for greater convenience, especially for reaching more distant places. This hillside area offers the perfect balance between nature, tranquility, and strategic connections to the main points of interest.
