What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Perfetto in tutto camere in centro pulite ed accoglienti. Tutti confort. A 50mt del ristorante la conchiglietta( di loro proprietà) Parcheggio a 150mt In pieno centro. Super consigliato”
“Il Veliero di Marzamemi è un affittacamere accogliente e ben posizionato nel cuore del borgo, ideale per esplorare la zona. Le camere sono pulite e ben tenute, offrendo un soggiorno confortevole. Il personale è cortese e disponibile, pronto a soddisfare le esigenze degli ospiti. Un ulteriore vantaggio è il parcheggio affiliato, che rende il soggiorno ancora più comodo. Una scelta consigliata per chi cerca semplicità e praticità a Marzamemi.”
“Camera pulita, spaziosa, vista mare, calda considerata la stagione in cui ci sono stata. Per un viaggio di lavoro a febbraio ho speso 80 euro per una notte senza colazione. Visto il costo Vista la stagione Visto che i bar della zona aprono MOLTO TARDI Magari mettere un bollitore con due bustine di tè o caffè liofilizzato per dare una minima ospitalità credo sia l’ABC della gentilezza Ma pazienza”
