This was a lovely small hotel/b&b. We had a warm greeting. The room was spacious and had what we needed. The breakfast terrace was lovely. The buffet was nice and I liked that I could help myself to coffee. My only negative wasn’t really the hotel’s fault - Expedia flagged it as including free parking which was a big factor in choosing it. Unfortunately the free parking was on the street and not belonging to hotel. We did find some fairly nearby on arrival and right outside the hotel by the evening. So it wasn’t really a problem just misleading of Expedia’s site. Very happy to recommend this as a good choice for exploring Catania.

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.
