This is definitely more of an apartment rental than a hotel rental. The space is laid out well with plenty of the space, and the staff is super friendly and welcoming. However, the AC doesn’t work. The AC was turned on, but it was still 80 degrees in the room, which made it impossible to sleep. Since it’s an apartment rental instead of a true hotel, when I gave up on attempting to sleep due to the heat at 4am, there was no front desk where I could ask to change rooms. I’m sure great in the winter, but do not recommend in the summer.

Excellent communication with staff - room was spacious & clean, good water pressure in shower and bed extremely comfortable. The location was maybe a 10 min walk to Via Etnea and the main duomo square - easy walk from Alibus stop (though not with luggage but that’s my fault!) and the breakfast provided with the lovely terrace was wonderful

Enjoyable, friendly stay in lively B& B in Catania

Huge double room with extra single bed. 2 window/ balconies. Lovely tile room and very nice bedding and furnishings. Bathroom shower spacious and good flow and hot water. Nice breakfast room with seating on sunny terrace as well . Good food. Very quiet location on a piazza. Short 6 min walk to Duomo square with many restaurants. Given map with main sites explained by the owner with some restaurants recommended which were really good and reasonable. All historic area in Catania walking distance. Went to Museum of Allied Landing WW2 which was very good. Enjoyed our 3 days in Catania. It’s a very lovely city and markets interesting too.
