The staff was very helpful. The room seemed to be clean and had all that was needed. The building was interesting. We left before breakfast. Parking was within walking distance away and the ariport was a short drive away. The only negative was the street and entrance seemed shabby and the men "helping" with street parking for a fee were annoying.

Good place in the center, good starting point for all kind of activities. Clean and friendly. Since we slept facing to the water, the boat traffic was a bit noisy in the morning. Otherwise everything fine.

This is a beautiful hotel located in an apartment building. There are many charming elements such as an old fashioned elevator with red velvet seats and beautiful painted ceilings. You can walk to the main piazza. There is a municipal parking lot very close by. Let the owner know you need to park your car and she will send you the exact name. There is also a large park with a fountain and playground right next to the parking lot, less than a 10 minute walk. There is also an open air fruit/veggie market there too. The area right around the hotel is a bit run down but we felt very safe walking with our toddler and it’s such a quick walk to the piazza. The owner was very kind and helped us with some questions. We loved our room, it was spacious and the air conditioning worked very well! The ceiling was painted beautifully. We would definitely stay here again.

The hotel claimed it offers transfers from the airport for surcharges. In reality, when I requested the transfer to the airport, they called a taxi for 22-25 Euros. I also needed a transfer from the airport to the hotel after I have dropped a rental car, and they advised me to take an unfamiliar bus in an unfamiliar city. So, I had to take a taxi again. The conclusion is that this hotel DOES NOT offer the transfer. Also, for those traveling by car: you will be lucky if you find a parking space on the street near the hotel. So, I do not recommend this hotel, especially to those traveling by cars.

Mainio sijainti, kävelymatka tärkeimmille nähtävyyksille. Vilkkaasti liikennöidyn kadun varrella, tosin kaupungissa harvoin on hiljaisia katuja, meitä ei meteli härinnyt :) Huone siisti, kaunis stukkokoristeinen katto plussaa. Omistaja ja henkilökunta erittäin ystävällisiä. Myöhäinen check-in onnistui sekä taksikyydit lentokentälle sovitusti.

Incredibly kind staff. We arrived late due to a delayed flight and somebody stayed at the reception for us until then. The host was also generous in giving us good advice for safe parking, activities and get arounds. The bed and breakfast is ideally located, at 2 min walking to catania's heart. The building is very old and charming. Our room was decorated simply but functionally. Everything was clean and the bed very comfortable.

charming, but underwhelming

At first glance, I wanted to love this authentic-seeming B&B for it's good location (very close to the Duomo and the main historical center) and it's charm (painted ceilings, adorable sitting room...). But I was quickly disenchanted just a few hours after our arrival. We arrived at noon, and were welcomed by the owner (friendly, warm welcome) and told our room wasn't ready, but we could leave our luggage and return in one hour. So we had a quick lunch, and at 1:15 pm, our room still wasn't ready, and we were invited to wait in the sitting room. We waited for nearly another hour before we could finally go to our room. The room itself was clean and the bed was comfortable, the A.C. worked well. However, the bathroom was nothing short of a disaster. As this B&B is in an historic building, the plumbing had to be adapted to install bathrooms in many rooms using a sort of pump system connected to the toilet that was supposed to carry sewage and shower/sink water out of the room. The pump system was not working well: as soon as you start the shower or run to water in the sink, the smell of sewage fills the room, water also backed up in the sink and was very slow to drain, after taking a 5-10 minute shower, the pump box thing appeared to be leaking and there was water over half the bathroom floor. Flushing the toilet also proved slightly problematic (sometimes needs up to 3 or 4 flushes to flush everything).
