Giuseppe is an excellent host: kind, attentive (but not intrusive), and helpful. We decided to rent a car after arriving in Sicily, and Giuseppe helped us arrange the car rental. He even transported us to the Avis office and acted as a translator for us. Giuseppe is a very gracious person with a good heart, and I cannot say enough good things about him!

Regarding the accommodations, I can report that our room and bathroom were quite lovely and impeccably clean, as were the public areas of B&B Fiorello.

I've visited Sicily a few times but had never been in Milazzo. Many people use this town as a mere pitstop because of the oil refinery that blights the landscape on the city's east side. To all of you I say -- ignore the refinery. There's a beautiful tree-lined promenade on the west side of the bay. Walk north on it while admiring the castle, and you'll forget all about the industrial section of the city!

I highly recommend Giuseppe's B&B Fiorello to anyone traveling to Sicily. It's the perfect home for a night (or two or three) while you visit the islands, tour the Norman castle and rock church of St. Anthony of Padua, or hang out on the lovely beach on the northeast side of the peninsula.

Whether you're entering Sicily by boat or train, Giuseppe's hospitality is a wonderful way to begin a trip to this gorgeously wild island.
