We enjoyed our stay in a funky, air-conditioned room. The B&B is in an 18th c. building with decorative tile floors and wooden shutters in front of the balconies. The facilities are fully modern and we enjoyed hot showers with great water pressure. The beds are solid and comfortable. We had a late check in and an early check out. Both were very easy due to the owner's communication on Whatsapp. If we're in Catania again, we'll be sure to book a room again.

The room and private bathroom were clean. The gentleman helped me carry my heavy luggage up the stairs. He also met me at check in which made it very easy (no one is there 24/7). I was there just one night, but it was close to the Duomo square and the pedestrian shopping district. Highly recommend for those not wanting a high end hotel, but still wanting 5 star service!!

They were so good to send Jacopino for me at the airport for 25€ that was sooo well worth it. We found the place, I learned how to enter through 3 doors, then he dropped me t a nearby music festival and showed me how to get back. The place is clean, in an accessible area, my room was well appointed with AC and a hair dryer. Great choice if you don’t mind ducking your head in the attic room which was much larger than my $300 Rome room.

Struttura in zona comoda e centrale e host accogliente senza essere invasivo. Colazione in struttura con annesso terrazzino esposto alle prime luci del sole (incantevole). Struttura non adatta ad anziano o disabili per le tante scale da fare. No ascensore. Lenzuola pulite ma la pulizia della stanza e del bagno andrebbe migliorata. Montare una zanzariera nella finestrella del bagno che rimane sempre aperta per arieggiare sarebbe utile. Nel complesso una struttura comoda nella quale non manca nulla.

Personal ist super nett und gut erreichbar. Die Zimmer sind durch einen Innenhof erreichbar. Das Zimmer ist sehr sauber, zweckmäßig eingerichtet, aber hat alles was man braucht. Ausser einen Kühlschrank. Dafür einen Safe. Bis zum Zimmer ist es relativ ein Irrgarten, aber am zweiten Tag hatten wir gefunden wo was ist. Zum Frühstück hat es Zwieback, Croissants, Konfitüre, Butter, Nutella, Joghurt und Säfte. Wasser, Kaffee und Tee sind auch vorhanden. Klimaanlage ist etwas veraltet und deshalb etwas laut und kühlt gerade so genügend. Das Zimmer (Nr. 9) war zuoberst und hatte Dachschrägen, deshalb empfehle ich, falls jemand grösser als 1.65m ist vorher anzugeben. Im Badezimmer ist dies kein Problem. Die Lage ist super: 5 Gehminuten bis zur Piazza del Duomo und 2min bis zum Pescheria-Markt. Auch die Busstation und McDonalds sind in 4 Minuten erreichbar. Ein Mitarbeiter gibt einem Tipps (inkl. Straßenkarte) und Empfehlungen, was man in Catania machen kann oder wo das Essen gut ist. Vielen herzlichen Dank für alles.
