It's impossible not to appreciate the architectural design of Messina Bell Tower and Astronomical Clock, a notable historic tower that has been able to withstand the test of time.

This historic construction in IV Circoscrizione is well-liked by travelers, so be sure to put it on your schedule. Don't think that's all there is to do here, though. There are many more attractions waiting for you to explore after Messina Bell Tower and Astronomical Clock. Cathedral of Messina, Fountain of Orion, and Messina Fountain of Neptune are close by.

The star of my stay was Marco, the night porter. When it turned out I didn't have a ticket for my home journey, he was instrumental in getting me home at the right time. He researched the logistics required to make a flight on the other side of the island, and I made it with literally minutes to spare. Without his help, I would have been delayed at least 24 hours, if not more. I am also grateful to Ambra for recommending the restaurant Raya, where I had the best meal of my stay. As for the hotel itself, the amenities feel more 4-star than 5-star, aside from the location, the amazing jewellery in the lobby and the entrance. The pool was freezing. But the people who work there are wonderful.
