It is a charming, well kept property. Coffee, snacks, water were all inclusive, which is a nice touch. It is only one block from the metro which can take you directly to the train station, so easy access to many other towns and the airport. Anna manages the property and is a lovely, friendly person. She is so helpful and tries her best to answer all your questions. If you plan to visit Catania, I would recommend it.

Excellent!

Excellent location, the hotel feels brand new, yet it is built on the site of an old amphitheater, which gives it both heritage and charm. The rooms are spacious, everything is spotless, quite in the night and the location couldn’t be more central. The host is outstanding. I travel frequently for work, but I have never experienced such dedication to the guest. Truly a recommendation for everyone!

We stayed in a double room - Anna, our host, was incredibly friendly and welcoming, being available even for our late check-in after our flight was significantly delayed. There was a nice selection of drinks and snacks in the communal area and in our room with a beautiful outdoor terrace for dining. Breakfast is provided at a local cafe for which you are given vouchers. The room is a nice size and the shower is clean with excellent water pressure. The location of this property is one of its strongest points, walking distance from lots of lovely restaurants and via Etnea.

It’s important to point out that this is not a hotel - but just as good, or better. The room was spacious. The location is convenient for getting around Catania - its 1 stop on the nearby metro train to the main station if you want to travel to places like Syracuse or Taormina etc. Anna was very helpful in arranging tours, taxis and providing dining information. But this brings me back to it is not a hotel - and you need to ensure you let Anna know when you expect to arrive - and if that changes, let her know, so that the arrival process is smooth. She was very responsive on WhatsApp when necessary.

The b&b was quite unique, being built above volcanic rock laid down centuries ago and sharing it with an ancient amphitheatre. Our suite was spacious, attractive had vistas featuring the rock and the amphitheatre. There is a room fridge, two wardrobes and two large screen TVs...OK if you speak italian. The shared kitchen area and patio were a bonus. Our host, Anna, was lovely, so helpful and interested in how our visit was progressing. A pleasant change from hotel staying.

AMAZING. surpassed our expectations. First impression from out side it is old like every thing surrounding it! Stepping inside tells different story: tastefully modern renovation, emasculated clean, it seems to be enclaved as part of Anfitheatro. Walking distant to dining, shopping and Dumo. the GEM at this place is Anna herself, attentive Hospitable and remarkable. Thanks for everything Anna.

We had a fantastic stay here. The hotel was beautifully presented and how incredible to be built around an Amphitheater. The room was spaces, clean and bed was comfy to sleep in. Great location close to city centre so easy to get around without a car. The hotel mini bar and offerings were a great extra. As for Anna what can I say. Thank you so much for making us feel welcome, informative and always going the extra mile to make sure we were looked after and getting the most from our experience. Nothing was too much trouble and I can’t thank you enough. If you are looking for a place to stay I would highly recommended here. My only recommendation is to switch the lounge area and bedroom around as it would be a better use of the space and give extra privacy.

The Relais Anfitheatro was just excellent. It’s in a great location, on a parallel street to the Main Street in Catania (via Etna). So it’s in easy walking distance to shops and the main squares. Although the street view exterior of Relais Anfitheatro might not look glamorous, once you get inside the property you will not be disappointed. It is very nicely decorated in a contemporary style. With high quality fixtures and decoration. The bathroom was modern and clean. And the room was cleaned everyday. I also found the bed extremely comfortable and had a better nights sleep that what I do at home! There is also a coffee machine in the room which was great. Along with a kettle and a selection of teas. A mini fridge and a selection of biscuits and small cakes are provided complementary each day. There is also a communal area, also with coffee and tea facilities, cakes, biscuits etc. Again, this is was all nicely decorated in a modern style. Breakfast is provided by vouchers to be used at a nearby cafe. The cafe is literally just round the corner, and have a selection of continental/Italian cakes/snacks. The cafe was ok, but it does get busy. No review of Relais Anfitheatro can be complete without mentioning Anna. The level of service and hospitality Anna gave us was just wonderful. Anna was so warm and welcoming to us. With great communication and helpfulness. If I were ever to visit Catania again, I would stay here again without hesitation.
