"This hotel is located on the coast in the lower town, where it is quieter and cheaper. Views are not as dramatic as higher but still a very pleasant spot. It is located close to the cable car connection to the higher town. Rooms do not offer kettles, like many hotels in the area, sadly. There was a pool but it was not clean-enough to want to use it Breakfast is adequate but quite limited. Overall comfortable-enough"

"We only had one night in this lovely boutique hotel prior to catching the ferry the next day to Lipari Island but would have happily stayed for longer. Hotel Espiria is a great option in Milazzo. It is a bit out of 'town' but that it a bonus. The location is ideal on the beach on peninsula facing west. The owners and staff are really friendly and helpful. Free parking opposite. Inexpensive local taxi if you need it. It was too cool to swim on our visit, but the beach is wonderful. We had a lovely long walk along the beach and also up to the Castle on the hill (Castello di Milazzo – see separate review). The room is well equipped, clean and comfortable. The decor is arty and quirky (in a good way). Breakfast is served in their lovely garden courtyard and is typical Sicilian - good variety, fresh and delicious. Eggs and cappuccinos are included! The sunset and view to the Aeolian Islands is outstanding."

"In transit to Lipari, this wonderful B&B is a modern beach house right on the waterfront. We were returning a rented car and the staff were really helpful with directions, train and ferry schedules, and taxis. We had the upper central room, directly facing the setting sun beyond the Aeolian Islands. The hotel has its own set of beach umbrellas and lounge chairs, put up every morning right out front. Breakfast is copious, and served in a lovely interior courtyard garden. The room was clean and funky and fun. What a great find. Thanks, ladies! Grazie Mille!"
