Maelle H.

Je me permets de vous écrire en tant que père de Maëlle, qui a séjourné dans votre appartement à Messine durant son Erasmus.

Je tenais à vous exprimer toute ma gratitude. Confier son enfant à un pays étranger n'est jamais anodin pour un parent, et savoir que Maëlle était logée dans un endroit aussi soigné, et surtout accueillie par quelqu'un d'aussi attentionné, a été pour nous un immense soulagement.

L'appartement était impeccable, parfaitement situé et bien plus agréable que tout ce que nous aurions pu espérer. Mais c'est surtout votre disponibilité et votre bienveillance qui ont fait la différence : vous avez été bien davantage qu'un propriétaire, vous avez été un repère pour elle dans une ville qu'elle ne connaissait pas.

Elle garde de Messine un souvenir lumineux, et vous y êtes pour beaucoup.

Si vous passez un jour dans le nord de la France, sachez que vous serez reçu chez nous avec le même cœur que celui que vous lui avez témoigné.

Avec toute notre reconnaissance,


mi permetto di scriverle come padre di Maëlle, che ha soggiornato nel suo appartamento a Messina durante il suo Erasmus.

Desidero esprimerle tutta la mia gratitudine. Affidare la propria figlia a un paese straniero non è mai semplice per un genitore, e sapere che Maëlle era alloggiata in un luogo così curato, e soprattutto accolta da una persona così premurosa, è stato per noi un enorme sollievo.

L'appartamento era impeccabile, perfettamente posizionato e molto più bello di quanto potessimo sperare. Ma è stata soprattutto la sua disponibilità e la sua gentilezza a fare la differenza: lei è stato molto più di un semplice locatore, è stato un punto di riferimento per Maëlle in una città che non conosceva.

Di Messina conserva un ricordo luminoso, e gran parte del merito è suo.

Se un giorno dovesse passare dal nord della Francia, sappia che sarà accolto a casa nostra con lo stesso cuore che lei ha riservato a nostra figlia.

Con tutta la nostra riconoscenza,

Sure et pratique.

Nádherné, čisté a moderní ubytování ! Byt je plně vybaven, nebyla jediná věc, co by mi tam chyběla.
Dům je hned přes ulici od moře, pláž před domem je nádherná.
V okolí se dá stále něco dělat, ideální místo na výlety, ale i na odpočinek u moře.
Internet fungoval bez problému - ideální místo pro lidi, kteří pracují online.
Vše bylo naprosto perfektní, Frank byl velmi příjemný a nápomocný.
Rozhodně toto ubytování doporučuji.
Frankovi moc děkuji :)

I had an amazing stay, Frank was one of the loveliest and most attentive hosts I've ever had! He was super welcoming and helpful, always easy to reach in case of a question. The apartment was spotless, modern and perfectly located. Everything was handled with great care and thoughtfulness. I highly recommend! 😊

Neighborhood
Beautiful, peaceful, quiet town with crystal clear sea, clean beaches and places to try local food and drinks all along the lungomare!
