The property was quite hard to find and in a quiet dark street which as a solo female traveller, felt a little uncomfortable. Once inside though, the room was fine for my needs if a little basic and the lady at breakfast was lovely

A bit off away from the center but close to the airport. Complicated check in and series of doors / keys. Communication is good though and the cleaning lady is nice. Breakfast limited. Recommend for very short stays and if you are budget conscious.

Thankyou for waiting for me and hosting me. I will come again. This is a B&b it’s a shared living space with private rooms. There is a dog and there are people chatting around you so expect that! But the hosts are nice, the rooms are good and I enjoyed my time there. People need to read reviews and prepare before booking places. Yes it’s not in the centre but who wants to be in the middle of all the noise? I don’t! I walked 15 mins and it was great. Thankyou to the girls for their welcome and kindness and I will def come again and recommend!

Great stay with lovely host.
We had a lovely stay with Ricardo, who was very helpful and service minded with all guidance needed after just arriving to Catania and Sicily.
The place is nice and clean and the location is within walking distance of the most popular spots in Catania.

By far the best value...and the most authentic.
The only place to stay in catania... the owner is a jack of all trades....an amazing host and also a tour operator for Catania... and knows all the best local secrets for inexpensive quality resteraunts and entertainment... 10 minutes walk to all the major sights... highly recommend this bed and breakfast....free wifi...free breakfast...and the only place in catania with free parking (if you have a car rental)...everyone else charges at leat 15-20 euro per night.

Wonderful
I had a wonderful time in Sicily, thank you! The host is wonderful full of sicilian hospitality and the room was actually better than I expected. It was clean, spacious (high ceiling) and comfortable. There was even a mini fridge and air conditioning which I hadn’t realized before checking in. I was traveling by myself as young woman and felt very comfortable staying there.

Good air conditioning, and most of all they were very accommodating. I was traveling with friends, and one person arrived Friday, another 2 Saturday and the last one Sunday, so we had to make separate bookings for 1, 3 and 4 people. They would have had every right to make us check out every morning and re-check in every afternoon, and give us new rooms each time, but instead they gave us the same room from the first day, so that we didn’t have to go through all that hassle, and so that we wouldn’t have to pack our bags every day. I really appreciated that. More formal hotels or regions wouldn’t have had this kindness. One struggle in a friends trip is that b&b only give one key per room. That requires people to either always be together or coordinate in complex ways to be able to get in, but that was the case in all my stays in Sicily over 2 weeks. So I recommend this place because they were really helpful with a very complex booking. And they had breakfast! They make you coffee or cappuccino etc to order and it was included in the price.

Das B&B ist ungefähre 15 min vom Flughafen entfernt, Parkplatz Möglichkeit. Die woche wo ich da war hat sich ein älteres Pärchen um das Frühstück Buffet gekümmert, dank die beiden habe ich mich wie zuhause gefühlt. Es gab jeden morgen Espresso und frische Cornetti. Nachmittags gab es ein anderes Pärchen die sich um die Empfang gekümmert hat, die waren auch super nett und sehr hilfsbereit.
Abends ist diese Gegend ruhig, und von da aus in 15 min hat man das Zentrum erreicht zu Fuß. Gern empfehle ich es weiter und gern komme ich wieder zu euch nächstes jahr!
