Other reviews were right, this is a perfect location when in Milazzo. We just walked across the street and got on the ferries to the islands, no problems leaving bags locked away for the day when you check out. Parking can be a bit of a pain, but the street immediately beside the hotel has street parking and you can just buy tickets for parking from 1 hour to the entire day (under 5 euros for the day) from the store next to the hotel. Easy. Print a good map of Milazzo too, so you can get there with as little swearing as possible, will stay there again. Rooms super comfy, and clean. Busy road out front, but with windows closed, can't hear it. Great great.

This is the hotel that has it all; fantastic location adjacent to ferries, buses and centre of town, wonderfully helpful staff, delicious food, comfortable beds, relaxed atmosphere and eco-friendly to boot. We stayed for three nights, and didn't want to leave.

We are a middle aged couple from New Zealand that visited Italy and Sicily for the first time and reserved a room at the Petit from good reviews we had seen on Tripadvisor. We stayed for a night so we could ferry to Lipari for a day trip the next day. It was very fresh with bright colours , cool tiles and some really jazzie art. The room was spotless and has everything we needed. Breakfast was one of the best we experienced on our 6 week holiday around Italy , Sicily and Malta. The staff were friendly and helpful re local info and all the shops and restaurants are all easy walks from the front door. The harbour and ferries are just a few steps away. We would have loved to have stayed a lot longer if we had had the time, and if we get the chance to return we know where we will book our accommodation.

We paused in Milazzo for the night, before taking the ferries the next day --- and I fell in love with this hotel. It was beautiful, with gorgeous tile floors, and everything completely ecological not to mention a very fresh and expansive and delicious breakfast. When I asked about recommendations for our next stop - Stromboli, the staff recommended places, called for us, set it all up. This was such a find! KG
