Hotel La Scogliera  

On Sicily’s Tyrrhenian shore at Gilaca di Piraino, this beachfront hotel faces the Aeolian Islands and sits within easy walking distance of Torre Saracena and La Guardiola. About 34 miles from Milazzo and a 50-minute drive from Messina, it’s a pet-friendly, family-friendly base for coastal exploration.

Rooms are simply furnished with cool tiled floors, air conditioning, satellite TV and private bathrooms with hairdryers; some rooms offer lovely Mediterranean sea views. The vibe is relaxed Sicilian: sun terraces, local flavors and on-site spa/massage facilities for low-key comfort.

Free Wi‑Fi, free parking and complimentary bike hire make getting around easy. Enjoy direct beach access with sun loungers and parasols, a spa/massage room, a diving club, a bar and 24-hour reception—plus laundry, concierge and car-rental services; pets are welcome.

An on-site Sicilian restaurant and pizzeria serve traditional local dishes, Nebrodi Mountain specialties and freshly baked pizza. Grab a casual drink at the bar after a day of sea-breeze mornings and coastal walks.
