Around the World

Around the World is a modern, city-themed B&B in Villa San Giovanni that’s especially convenient for beach days and quick crossings to Sicily.

Location for transit and day trips: Around the World sits close to Villa San Giovanni’s train station and the ferry terminals, making early departures and late arrivals much easier. Cannitello Beach is also about an 800-meter walk for a simple swim-and-stroll routine.

Rooms with practical comforts: Guest rooms are designed around cities from around the globe and are set up for straightforward, comfortable stays. Expect air conditioning, free Wi‑Fi, a TV, a private bathroom, a balcony, and a minibar, with some rooms offering sea or city views.

Extra space option: The attic-style accommodation is the standout for longer stays or more privacy, thanks to its larger footprint and more independent feel. It includes a panoramic terrace, living area, kitchen, and a bathroom with a hydromassage shower.

Parking and arrival help: A garage with 24-hour access is available, which can be a real plus in a transit-heavy area. There’s also a free shuttle to and from the station for smoother check-ins.

Breakfast and local flavor: Breakfast is served with locally sourced products, adding a Calabria touch to the morning. It’s a nice fit if you prefer a smaller, host-led property over a full-service hotel.

Trade-off for light sleepers: Being near key transport routes can mean some traffic or arrival noise at certain times. Rooms with balconies may feel this more depending on orientation.

Limited on-site facilities: As a B&B, the experience is more about a well-equipped base than extensive amenities. Travelers wanting a pool, spa, or large common areas may prefer a bigger property.
