B&B Vistamare

The guesthouse is strategically located very close to the boarding terminal for the ferry to Sicily and the railway station, about 300-400 meters away. The cleanliness is top notch. We benefited from easy access to a common space, equipped with a refrigerator and coffee machine. The owner offers the possibility of purchasing basic products (water, snacks, beer...) at reasonable prices (coffee and tea are free). Our room was very quiet and had a beautiful view of the sea and the island of Sicily. We also benefited from a fairly spacious balcony. Giovanna helped us a lot, providing us with a lot of information about shops, restaurants or helping us with transport. Guests are also offered the possibility of transportation to and from Lungomare or Scilla at reasonable prices.

Walking distance to the beach. But taking into account that the price is much lower compared to the accommodations located near the beach (and the offer regarding the transport to the beach), this guesthouse is a serious option to consider

Hosts are super sweet and welcoming. B&B is nice, super clean and the beds are great. The breakfast in the nearby pasticceria is delicious and owners are nice and friendly, especially the ‘cornetto con crema’ is delicious. Would recommend to stay a bit longer with Giovanna and Franco to explore the environment, you should definately visit the museum in Reggio Calabria to see the bronze Riace warriors from 500 B.C.

Nothing

Convenient location close to station and ferry. Very clean. Very comfortable (most comfortable bed of our long trip). Host responds fast and is kind and helpful. From balcony can see Sicily. We had coffee and breakfast on the balcony 😊. Highly recommended.

Nothing - all good. Villa San Giovanni itself is convenient to stay in for ferry, but quite a lot of shops/cafes closed in early May while we were there, and the first section of the path along the coast was blocked off for repair. Still we found several good places to eat!

Room was very clean and comfortable, while a little dated. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming, assisting with parking, wonderful meal recommendation and anything we needed. They even took us to the Ferry terminal the next morning to show us where to go and help with ticketing. All in all a lovely short stay.

Nothing.

The hosts were great! Incredibly friendly and accommodating. The rooms were clean, the bathrooms were modern, and they have a decent view of the sea and Sicily across the way. The restaurant recommended to us was amazing--it surpassed expectations!

The surrounding area is very quiet.

Very friendly family that runs this place! Very service-minded and simply nice. The rooms were also very clean! Additionally, close to ferries and train stations which makes it excellent for an overnight stop coming by train or car.

Giovanna was wonderful! So helpful. Made sure we had everything we needed. Always on hand for advice etc. Location great. Near ferry, bus, shops & restaurants. Clean & spacious. Kitchen for guests to use.

We booked 'Deluxe Doppelzimmer mit Meerblick' ("This double room has a balcony, electric kettle and microwave") but there was virtually no 'Meeresblick'. Fotos were misleading. Host was not very friendly, rather business-like. Kettle and MW were avialble for all guests in the lobby, so surcharge for 'Deluxe Doppelzimmer mit Meerblic' was not justiefied.

It was in r.a great location and had everything you needed.

I would rather have a private kitchen area but the common one had everything easily accessible and had a great coffee maker.

We needed a place to stay for 1 night. This is in walking distance to the train station and the marina. The beds are one of the most comfortable we have sleept in here in Italy. It's clean and newly renovated. Good service and good price. We are very satisfied.
