Hotel Residence Empedocle  

In the heart of Messina, a short stroll from the Pietro Castelli Botanical Garden and the University of Messina. You're steps from the Fountain of Orion and minutes on foot from the Sanctuary of Montalto. Ferry links to Villa San Giovanni are under 11 km, making this hotel a smart base for island hops and city exploring.

A compact hotel with 13 air-conditioned rooms that blend practical comfort with local ease. Rooms can include minibars and vary by category; all have private bathrooms with showers, bidets and complimentary toiletries. The property features a rooftop terrace and garden, a communal kitchen, and an outdoor pool — small-scale, social, and ready for laid-back stays.

Make use of the outdoor pool, rooftop terrace and garden, plus a shared kitchen for DIY meals. Free parking and an elevator make arrivals easy. Reception runs Monday–Saturday 07:00–14:00, with self-service check-in and an access code for arrivals outside those hours and on Sundays, plus a 24-hour emergency number during your stay.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi throughout and a computer station on site. Express check-in and express check-out available for quick arrivals and departures.

Start each day with a complimentary buffet breakfast. There’s a communal kitchen if you prefer to cook, and limited-hour room service for lighter, late arrivals. Staff can also help book local excursions to taste regional flavors around Messina.
