The owners are very nice and willing to help on all your needs. Location is excellent especially to take the ferry to Messia. You do have to press the bell to get the owner. The bell is on the left before the first gate up the stairs.

This is a small b & b. The rooms were very modern and nicely decorated. The room was off a small communal/sitting/breakfast area. The people we encountered were very friendly and tried hard to please. The young women who was doing housekeeping in the morning was very sweet and tried hard to give us travel hints even though we couldn't understand Italian...we did communicate. Br,eakfast was very basic but adequate. This is located very near to the ferry to Sicily We were only there briefly and did not explore area but we did walk to a good restaurant. This might be a more commercial area because it was quite quiet at night.
