The room was large , very clean, We opted for breakfast at a nearby bar..had the best cannoli! The wifi wouldn't work but he let us use his computer so all was fine. It... More

Location is good, within walking distance of centre (10 min). It's a 1st floor in typical classic-style building of Catania, rooms are clean, owner is very helpful. Air conditioning works fine (and it was totally necessary in August). Possibility to have a surveilled parking place nearby (100m). Breakfast has 2 options: 1: a coupon for a pastry+coffee on a bar... More

This was the only bad B&B experience of our 3 week trip. The location is good and Michele is very friendly, but we would have left after the first night if we'd been staying more than two nights total. It is also bad value and not worth 70E a night. We paid 60E for a comparative palace in Palermo. The... More

The room we stayed in was nicely furnished and very comfortable. There were balconies looking in two directions and the location was outstanding. The pipes were old, though, so the shower was always in danger of flooding. The WiFi router wouldn't let us online, and Michele shrugged this off as a configuration problem with our tech and declined to do... More

Charming B&B with a very friendly owner. Unfortunately we couldn't get to sleep because there was a lot of noise from the streets. Also the room was full of mosquitos. Wouldn't go there again.

This was a very personal bed & breakfast. Michele the owner had little English but had thoughtfully ensured that an english speaker was present when our group of 6 arrived. However because he was so helpful common language was not necessary. He made wonderful coffee each morning and directed us to good restaurants and we looked forward to our contact... More

After studying all of these positive Trip Advisor reviews to help me choose this B&B, I agree for the most part: Free Internet was awesome. The location is good. Very close to the main drag, Via Etnea. Easy walk to the Duomo. Our room was quite spacious. Going in or out of the building from the streets, it was surprising... More
