Locanda del Bagatto

Milazzo


High-end amenities and state-of-the-art fixtures make for a comfortable stay at this sleek new six-room hotel upstairs from the excellent Al Bagatto wine bar–restaurant. The modern Italian designer decor ranges from the artsy (black-and-white photos of Sicilians, easels used as towel racks in a whimsical painter-themed room) to the borderline tacky (two larger-than-life women puffing on cigars above one bed).
