We stayed at Tifeo on our way cycling to Messina. The host was VERY welcoming and kind. She greeted us with juice and recommended an excellent restaurant. Breakfast was superb! The room was clean and very comfortable. They gave us excellent travel tips for our route to Messina and even a lovely town across the water in Callabria. All in all we would highly recommend Tifeo! Grazie mille!

Friendly, comfortable and excellent in all ways!

Fantastic little B&B in a little beach side town of Villa Franca , Sicily . Very comfortable , great breakfast , very close to beach , supermarket and transport . The owners run the B&B and treat you like family , always there to help with questions , directions . They even drove me to the Train station with directions andt train times . My wife was a vegan and Rosie the owner even accommodated her with some great meals at breakfast and advice on where to shop for vegan products at near by supermarkets . The rooms were very comfortable , air-conditioned and clean modern bathrooms .Highly recommend this place , and the area of Villa Franca is beautiful , a typical Sicilian beachside gem , full of history, great food and beautiful people .

Beautiful family run B&B

A very nice family is running this B&B. They were very keen to make our stay perfect. The room we got was perfectly clean and very modern, the bed was comfortable (not the cheapest available, but they really focus on quality). The breakfast was also nice, we even got a perfect Italian coffee and warm croissants.
They were very prepared although we didn't reserve a room ahead and we just ringed there bell at 8pm.

Lovely family with perfect rooms

Franco and Rosaria were the most welcoming hosts we met on our Sicilian vacation. Room was quite big and clean. There is a very cosy garden were all the guests can sit and drink morning coffee or have an evening drink. There is even a possibility to cook yourself if you want. Coffee could be made through out the day. 

We also got a real home grown oregano package as a gift when we left! Using it to cook my own pizza now or with pasta - really feels like a sicilian now. 

I have a feeling that on my next trip to Sicily I'll be spending couple of days at Tifeo again. :)

B&B is very close to the beach and Canarillo Brillo (summer club) is in a walking distance too. 

Easy access to bus line - either to Milazzo and Isole Eolie or to Messina.

Most welcoming hosts I've met in Sicily

Pros: 

- Close to the beach which is unfortunately rather rocky but still pleasant. You can borrow chairs and parasols for the beach from the owner.

- A decent gelateria around the block near the beach. You can even use the wifi from the beach. The pizza place next to it, Terronia, has very good pizza at very affordable prices.

- Shared fridge, you can put your own items in.

- The garden is nice with a hammock and a table that could be used at night.

Cons:

- The breakfast was rather non-existant, basically two croissants each with plastic wrapped muffins and other mass-produced items and little bottles of store-bought juices.  No other bread or cheese/ham or any local products or any fruits.

- The room was rather small and dark.

- The owner was nice and helpful and seemed to try her best but unfortunately it was not enough. Although the price per night was affordable, 65 Euros, you have to pay cash.

- The location is is basically in the middle of nowhere, you are still 30 minutes away from Milazzo.

As a side note some of the pictures on Tripadvisor for the surroundings area (i.e. "nearby town/nearby beach") are not of Villafranca Tirenna but some unknown location.
