The Experience
This serene apartment is the perfect balance between ancient and modern, from the well-preserved patterned floor tiles to contemporary furniture designed by your hosts, and all has been put together with the aim of pampering body and soul.
Breakfast is delivered to your room: scrambled eggs, a plate of ham and Sicilian cheese, pastries and local bread, served with high-quality jam, honey and butter. You can make your own espresso or tea and there are biscuits to nibble on, and sleek bathrooms featuring the latest in spa technology, including hydro-showers and jacuzzi tubs.
You will find either Francesco or Giorgio at reception and they are generous with local tips and recommendations – some of their favourites are Locale, a colourful restaurant and cocktail bar just three minutes’ walk, and Lo Scuderia, a well-known traditional trattoria a five-minute walk. Francesco also offers shiatsu sessions or yoga lessons on request.

Location
The neighbourhood
The B&B is set on a street with shops selling mostly design and furnishing, and there’s a nice little café downstairs. Most of the must-see sites – such as the renowned Teatro Massimo opera house – are within easy walking distance. There’s a bus stop on the street outside and one of the most important stops is a five-minute walk. The train station is 25 minutes’ walk, the port is 15 minutes.
Introducing
Giorgio Aquilino
Giorgio and Francesco have been friends for years and always hoped to go into business together one day, combining their interest in looking after people with their love of beauty. Giorgio is a hospitality manager with experience running other successful properties, and Francesco is an academic (philosophy, music) and long-time shiatsu practitioner.
It was a surprise to meet the owner, be introduced to the city with such passion and knowledge, and even receive a demonstration of shiatsu massage made my day! The beds are the most comfortable thing I have ever seen, the shower with cascade the most indulging ever! I adored the extras next to the coffee machine, and the beautiful ancient tiles!
