The property B&B Castelluccio in Villafranca Tirrena takes part in Settimana del Baratto from 18th to 24th November

Hi, I'm Fabio

I will be happy to host you for FREE in my property in exchange for goods or services.
Here are my barter wishes:

Services and Benefits

ARE YOU AN INFLUENCER, A SINGER, OR AN ACTOR? YOU CAN STAY WITH US FOR FREE IF...

Are you an influencer, singer, or actor, whether well-known or not? Do you have over 100k, 200k, or even 1 million followers? You can enjoy an entire vacation with us in complete tranquility and absolute privacy if you promote yourself just as you usually do on your Instagram and/or Facebook page, but by showcasing the interiors and exteriors of our property. Of course, we ask that you tag us and help spread the word while collaborating with us. If the stay as a barter isn't enough for you, feel free to propose something else—we might just accept! We look forward to welcoming you! You can book at any time of the year, including for your Ferragosto holiday!

Photos and Video

PHOTOGRAPHY/VIDEO SERVICE

Are you a professional in the photography or video industry, or do you pursue it as a hobby, with results that are visible, tangible, and speak for themselves? Would you like to stay with us in exchange for a modern photo shoot of our property—both indoors and outdoors—as well as the surrounding area? We're looking for someone to provide direction, special effects, and unique photos and videos that are currently trending on Instagram, attracting up to 10,000 likes a day. If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you! There is also the possibility to conduct the photo shoot now and enjoy your stay later, as it will be quite challenging to have the property available for at least 24 hours during the busy summer season.

Music, Film, Video

PIANO AND/OR GUITAR LESSONS

Piano lessons starting from scratch. I used to play the guitar when I was younger, but unfortunately, I've forgotten it. I would love to do an intensive course for a few days to refresh my memory, or I could start fresh with a new instrument like the piano, which I currently don't have at home. Therefore, you would need to bring an electric piano or advise me on an immediate purchase. Feel free to suggest alternatives. Please note: do not propose exchanges in August. Thank you.

Services and Benefits

WE ACCEPT THERAPEUTIC MASSAGES, INCLUDING TREATMENTS FOR MUSCLE TENSION, NECK, AND BACK PAIN, AS WELL AS ORIENTAL REFLEXOLOGY (FOOT MASSAGES) AND SHIATSU, FOR INDIVIDUALS AND COUPLES.

Please do not send us proposals unless you are a qualified professional in the industry with an active studio open to the public and relevant certifications that we can verify for credibility. Additionally, we will not consider barter proposals for August; we will evaluate barters starting from October onwards. We will not respond to offers received prior to this timeframe. Thank you.

Barter accepted all year round

The property

Nestled in the heart of our charming town, our bed and breakfast is the first of its kind, established in 2012. Our establishment enjoys a prime location just 30 meters from the beach, surrounded by a peaceful and strategic environment. Every evening, you can indulge in a stunning sunset over the sea, with the beautiful Aeolian Islands as a backdrop. We are only 10 minutes away from Messina and Milazzo, making our B&B an ideal starting point for exploring the area.

In the immediate vicinity, you will find everything you need: banks, post offices, restaurants, pizzerias, cafes, pastry shops, and even a small shopping center, La Briosa. As the first municipality beyond Messina, you won’t have to worry about a tourist tax. Getting here is easy: simply take the Villafranca Tirrena exit if coming from Messina or Catania, and the Rometta exit if arriving from Palermo.

Our rooms are designed for maximum comfort, equipped with heating/cooling air conditioners, TVs, Wi-Fi, and private bathrooms. Some rooms even feature a mini-fridge, while a communal refrigerator is available in the kitchen. Moreover, all rooms offer a tranquil atmosphere, as they do not face the main road.

Our spacious internal courtyard is perfect for parking your vehicles, keeping them safe and shielded from prying eyes. You will also have access to a lush garden and a convenient patio open 24/7.

If you love outdoor adventures, the Peloritani mountains are just 10 minutes away, with trails that will take you to Dinnamare, 1,100 meters above sea level, in just 20 minutes by car. Here, you can explore our beautiful forests or visit charming nearby villages.

Our B&B is the perfect place for families looking to feel at home. Upon request, we provide access to the entire kitchen and an outdoor barbecue. Additionally, the promenade is filled with playgrounds for children, and the local establishments we recommend will always treat you with special care.

You’ll have the freedom to come and go at any hour of the day or night, while respecting the peace and tranquility of our environment. Each morning, we will delight you with carefully prepared breakfasts, which you can enjoy privately or at our trusted seaside bar, where you can savor our famous granite with cream and brioche.

Don’t forget that your furry friends are also welcome!

The hosts will always be available to assist you, speaking both Italian and English, and will be happy to help you during your stay.
