Good option for a budget stay in Catania.

Pros: Very central location, friendly and helpful owner, large room with living area and mezzanine bedroom. Cons: above a kebab shop/bar which was noisy until the early hours, no sign on door so struggled to find the b&b. Overall good option for a budget stay in Catania.

Hotel Bellini - like a Sicilian home!

This is a little gem that is in great location, close to all of the usual attractions and feels like a 'home from home'. Lorenza is a fantastic host, always friendly and helpful with lots of money-saving hints and tips. I followed her recommendations and had an amazing time in Sicily. It is one of those places that when you return after a long day of sightseeing it feels like you are coming home. Lorenza also provides a traditional Italian breakfast which when enjoyed with other Italian guests seems like your are in someones home and not a hotel. I would recommend staying here and will certainly go back when I'm next in Catania.

Great location and wonderful host

We arrived late at night after a day of multiple plane reschedules and ultimately lost luggage. We had planed to go straight to a hotel we'b booked in the hills (we were supposed to arrive in the afternoon) but had to book at the last minute in Catania. Luckily B&B Bellini was available. We had a simple but lovely room with a beautiful window overlooking the street. Bed was comfortable, room basic but fine, great value for the price. Breakfast was abundant. But what really stood out was the host, Lorenza. She went put of her way, offering to drive us to a mall in the morning to buy underwear and basics, and driving us to our new accommodation. She is incredibly lovely and generous. We would heartily recommend!

Homely hospitality in a superb location

This place is a gem! I stayed with my husband and 12yo son. Lorenza and her family (including Misha the beautiful cat) were very welcoming and helpful, and made a great continental breakfast each morning. The apartment was very clean and has everything you need, including wifi. The location is ideal - walking distance to restaurants, shops, the cathedral and the castle and the street is well-lit and busy, and we felt safe walking nearby at night in any direction.

Expedia need to review unregistered B & B

Filthy disgusting property. No signage at garage door but entered and found a dirty untidy B&B Teenage boy wondering around the filthy kitchen with only underpants on. Totally unorganised A property that Expedia should not have displayed on their website. I will be very cautious about booking on properties with Expedia . Sorry I just don't understand how you can promote such a property.

B&B bellini is a dirty private apartment. It is in a dirty dangerous part of Catania. It has no sign indicating it is a registered business. It is someone's private apartment. They rent rooms which are of poor quality.

B&B Bellini

Lorenza is a kind host. We were pleasantly surprised with our room; it was a bi-level lofted space, with floor to ceiling windows. The bed was on the floor but it was comfortable. The heating system was adequate for sleeping in the loft, but the bottom floor stayed very cold at night and was unusable. A long walk from the train station, but very central to town center.

Cuando llegue no había nadie ,llame incansables veces al número que sale en la página y nada ,finalmente llegaron unas amigas de la dueña y por casualidad le pregunté y ellas me ayudaron a ubicarla ,me dieron las llaves y la verdad este establecimiento está más enfocado a lolos ,el baño quedaba lejos de la pieza ,era una casa con más personas que vivían ahí ,Lorenza la dueña es un amor ,atenta y trataba de que estuviéramos a gusto ,pero yo por lo menos no me sentía así ,sentía que no tenía privacidad ..de todas maneras la cama era muy cómoda ,toda la casa estaba decorada con cosas antiguas ,pero definitivamente le faltaba un orden total ,es como quedarse en una casa de una persona que no conoces ..le doy gracias por sus detalles ,pero como comenté antes más bien es un lugar para mochileros ..queda en un tercer piso y no hay ascensor para subir las maletas ..

Ottimo!

Posticino molto carino, la padrona e la sua famiglia sono gentilissimi. In zona centrale non troppo isolata, vicino al mercato diurno di Via del Pardo e Piazza di Benedetto con annessi ristorantini con i tavolini sulla strada. Nello stesso stabile c'è anche un ristorante ottimo e una panineria kebab, giusto per provare due cose differenti, mentre all'altro angolo della strada c'è un pub e un altro locale notturno e poco in là più altri bar e ristoranti. La stanza è silenziosa, il letto è confortevole con lenzuola cambiate ogni giorno, la camera è arredata con mobili d'antiquariato è abbellita con locandine di film. Ogni stanza ha un tema diverso. Di notte la padrona consiglia di chiudere la stanza con la chiave, poiché la sua gatta è molto curiosa e sa aprire le porte per curiosare.

In pieno centro storico...che meraviglia! Mi sono sentita come a casa, ma in vacanza. Sapevate che nell'800 le seterie Auteri di Catania, con sede nel Palazzo Auteri dove soggiornavo io, era fra le più importanti al mondo, insieme a quelle di Cina e Giappone? Fra una tazza di tè e tante chiacchiere, ho appreso tutta la storia da Lorenza, la magnifica padrona di casa. Anche la camera che occupavo, restaurata da poco, mi raccontava graficamente la storia. Il soggiorno presso il B&B Bellini è stato veramente confortevole e piacevole. Molto bella la città. Solo il quartiere, a prima vista, è un po' decadente, ma mi sono sentita comunque molto sicura. Un'ottima esperienza! Grazie.
