Very good host, who waited for us at the door, and helped us to secure a free parking slot. The room is specious and elegant. We really like the location, where is pretty much walking distance to every attraction. If the breakfast can upgraded a little bit, it would be perfect 5 star B&B. Regardless, we would like to stay here again if we visit Catania again.

Wonderful B&B suite in Catania
Great B&B in downtown Catania within walking distance to main piazza. Was greeted by Manuele who was cheerful and gracious. The room was spacious and clean with double exposure to the park and street and triple pane windows (with bug screens!!!!) making the room quiet. The crisp bedding was 5 star quality. The shower was the best we had during our 30 day stay in Sicily. We were not able to stay for breakfast because of an early flight but instead was given a voucher for a delightful patisserie/bar a block away which was greatly appreciated. Highly recommend!

Excellent location, clean room, very responsive management team. Clear instructions to check in via WhatsApp. Breakfast was excellent (despite not having a large choice). Great communication via WhatsApp regarding any queries. We stayed in a 3rd floor apartment, Cariddi (family of 4). Had a sofa bed, double and queen sized bed with a kitchen and 2 bathrooms (a smaller one upstairs - limited space in the shower, but can be used if needed. It was noisy on Saturday night with honking cars, but rest of the nights were ok.

We stayed for one night before our flight home. The location is very convienient for getting to the airport. Emanuele was a great host and the communication was excellent. Sadly we were unable stay for the breakfast as we had an early flight. However, the breakfast options seemed abundant. We appreciated the water and pop in the small fridge in our room. Thanks Emanuele!

Great location for visiting Catania however not without its faults. Hosts were pleasant, the room was spacious and clean..however the room had ants crawling all over in the bathroom, there was no safe, no glasses for water or soft drinks, the towels weren’t changed at all on a 4 night stay which I’ve never come across before, the breakfast was basic and you had to be up early enough before it was cleared out by other guests. I was also randomly asked for our key on the last day as it was asserted I wasn’t a guest which was a bit random. Also the buzzer on the intercom doesn’t make a noise so you’ve no idea if you’ve pressed it correctly. Would stay again but with the high scoring reviews expected more. 7/10
