Best Western Plus Fontana Falconieri Hotel

In the historic centre of Messina, a short walk from the port, the B/W Plus Fontana Falconieri Hotel occupies an elegant early-1900s building in Messina, Italy, on the north-eastern tip of Sicily. The hotel's 14 recently renovated rooms pair modern comforts with the building's period character, making an easy base for business or a city break. Messina Cathedral and its famous Bell Tower and Astronomical Clock, the Fountain of Orion and the Vittorio Emanuele Theatre all sit within a stroll, along with the main shopping streets. Just to the south, Mount Etna, Europe's most active volcano and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, rises above the coast, ringed by lava trails, vineyards and winter ski runs. Ferries from the port cross the strait to the mainland and run out to the Aeolian Islands, and the hilltop resort town of Taormina and its ancient Greek theatre lie a short way down the coast.
