Torre Faro Messina is located in Messina within Mortelle, which makes it easily accessible and therefore popular among travelers. In the high season this may cause some discomfort, due to the large influx of tourists.

The beach stretches on the coast of the Sicily island, within the boundaries of the settlement, it is not difficult to get to it. If your stay is located not far from the beach, you can reach it by walking. In this case you will not be tied to finding parking or to the schedule of public transport. If you are traveling by car just use your navigator. In any case, do not forget about the availability of public transport and taxis.

User reviews

"The dinner was excellent, with fresh and well-cooked fish, and the location right by the sea was superb. However, the service could use some improvement. Parking along the road was not an issue. It's worth noting that the prices are slightly higher, but I highly recommend it."
