We enjoyed exploring Catania and this property is in the heart of the city. The host was great. The only thing I would say would be the external property is in the middle of a building site. As soon as you enter the building you are met with this before you get upstairs. The bed and breakfast itself is very nice but we opened the window and all you could see is the building site in the middle of the property which we didn’t know about before booking. Overall the host and the b&b were excellent though.

Nice rooms but complicated set up & zero service
This stay would have been so much better if we had been informed ahead of time that there would be a construction site (we almost just left), then 3 flights of stairs and zero help or service. It’s a completely do it yourself B&B which is difficult to get into and almost impossible if you have any luggage. There is a tiny lift but instructions were complicated and my bag didn’t fit in it anyway so I had to leave most of my things in the car as it was too heavy for so many stairs. I was travelling with two older people and a young child and it was very difficult for us and no one to help you check in or assist with bags or help in general. Staff at breakfast were very nice each day with zero English. Rooms very very comfortable but very hot. I think if management would have just prepared us better what to expect in terms we would have had a much better experience. I spent a lot of time answering questions from other guests who had also had a difficult time getting and managing self check in and the stairs etc.

the staff was very welcoming, and helpful with our questions about getting around the city. we had a few minor problems with the air conditioner and toilet and they were fixed promptly and we had no further issues. The owner was able to get us transportation to the airport at half the cost of our ride in. The driver they arranged was prompt and took good care of us. Again the staff was excellent

Loredana was a lovely host and made us feel welcome on a short stay to Catania.
The area immediately around is generally okay, and has some dirty streets nearby, but don’t let it put you off because Catania has some excellent places to discover.

Did not have anyone to check us in despite arriving before 7. The locked gates and elevator required some explanation so we were left to our own devices to figure all that out.

The hotel floor was lovely. The city of Catania has seen much better days, with the graffiti so prevalent and the homeless people sleeping amidst the trash on the streets. There was some noise from the traffic but we were able to sleep. Anything possible that we needed within the hotel, however, was provided. A lovely breakfast was prepared for us each day. This was amazing. A very unique hotel!

the hotel was fine. Two issues: 1. B & B is on the 3rd floor with no elevator, so older less fit people will have trouble climbing stairs.
2. Check in time is after 4pm so may be inconvenient for some travellers.

Great Experience
Staff was amazing, room was very clean and breakfast was great. Stairs up to the room may be an issue for some and the place is not easy to find, due to poor signage. If we were to return to Catania I would definitely stay again.

Walking distance to many tourist attractions
Easy to arrive by bus ( Alibus) from the airport, drop off stop 9 (via Etnea) and than around 5 min walk. Situated cross the Bellini Gardens, in an old building. The place inside has a very pleasant contemporary design. Breakfast was very nice, with large choice. What I particularly liked was the big shower towel and a beautiful terrace where you can seat for breakfast and look to the steamy Etna volcano.
