Lovely autumn holiday in Sicily
Globetrotter has an excellent location surrounded by lovely bars and restaurants. You can easily walk to the main sights, it is right in the centre of town. We were supposed to stay two nights but extended our stay with four as the staff were friendly and helpful and we just loved the location. We got value for money. I'd stay here again.

The staff were helpful and friendly, wxplaining all the necessary criteria. A handy shuttle service on request from the airport. The room was clean and had all that I required, even a mosquito net over the bed (which is needed in september).

Smack in the middle of town
The B&B is well situated to the Duomo in a animated and lively area. At night it gets rather noisy with all the restaurants and life bands. So if you expect a quiet area, this is not it. The bed is comfortable. The B&B could make some progress on cleanliness. Lovely and very helpful staff.

Great location for exploring Catania and Mt. Etna. Close to the fish market, restaurants, bars, the Duomo, and many other sites. 20 minute walk to a public beach. Since the B&B is in a great location it can be noisy at night with all the activity in the neighborhood. Assistance good advice available for scheduling excursions. A dependable driver is available as an option for getting to the airport. It's a short walk from the bus stop if taking the bus from the airport.

Property was centrally located. Owner was very nice and arranged pick up late at night and his brother. Things that were disappointing was that there was no breakfast in bed in breakfast even though I have asked about it prior to check in. I was told you have to pay 2 euro per person. When arrived I was told no breakfast. Property itself was roomy but not many amenities. Also, little moldy setting my son into and asthma. Also, little noisy.

Avoid staying in room 12
We stayed in room 12 and it was awful. The bedroom was underground and had a terrible musty, moldy smell. The shower was so small and cramped with no room to move. The couch in the kitchen area was also dirty with stains. Avoid this room. Also, there is no breakfast provided even though they are calling themselves a B&B.

An Interesting View of Life in Catania
Daniela was a delight host. Because we were staying for 3 nights he offered us a studio apartment a block away from the Globetrotter. Although the studio was very nice, it is situated on a busy square with music playing all day and night (it was good music).. there were several restaurants adding to the noise. While our stay was a delightful slice of life in Sicily, it was far from quiet and restful. Please note that there are stairs, so heavy luggage could be an issue.
