Central location
Welcoming host. Spotlessly clean rooms set in a traditional building. Great location in city centre. Set in a busy square, so quite noisy, but to be expected. Nice extra touches - use of coffee machine, filtered water and fridge for communal use. Breakfast at local cafe was pleasant. Would recommend

I like everything about this B&B except for the parking. The staff is very professional and provided me precise instructions for self checking because I had a late checkin. But I need to park at a public parking lot which is about 500m away from the property. The parking lot is safe and price is reasonable. I paid €6 for 24 hours.

호스트가 너무 친절했고 저희가 체크인시간보다 일찍 도착했는데도 불구하고 바로 입실할수있게 도와주셨어요. 방에 있는 소품들도 너무 예뻤고 다 너무 깨끗했습니다. 위치는 카타니아 중심지에 있어서 너무 좋았습니다. 단지 너무 관광지한복판이라 밤에 조금 시끄러웠습니다.

Seventy two steps up.
The location is great! There are SEVENTY TWO stairs to haul luggage up and go up and down. This type of information should be disclosed in the ad. It was to much for my husband to deal with. There is a balcony but no seating. The AC is to small and old to properly cool the space. There is a coffee maker but no directions to use it.

A beautifully restored historic building - this B&B is on the 3rd floor (no elevator). Overlooking the Plaza Stesicoro, in the heart of the historic city. It is above a bustling plaza but inside the room was very quiet. Lovely modern bathroom, nice designed. I couldn't figure out how to use the coffee machine - no instructions!

Nice place, great host
Great location, nice, clean place with all of the amenities. There is a fridge in the common area only and the doors are made of glass so you can hear anyone coming in and out of the flat. Also, it's on the fourth floor, I believe, so prepare yourself to carry up your suitcases.

편안하고 깨끗한 에어비앤비 스타일 숙소
오래된 집을 개조한 B&B로 방이 3개정도 있는 주택이었어요 편안하고 관리가 잘 되어있었고 주인 아주머니와 영어로 소통할수있고 너무 친절하셨어요 연락이 잘안되서 처음 체크인은 어려웠지만 다른층 비앤비 주인이 건물안에 들어오게 해줘서 안에서 기다릴수있었어요 주방에 냉장고도 사용하고 간단한 음식도 먹을수있어서 내집처럼 썼어요 단점은 엘베가 없어서 캐리어를 4층까지 들고 올라가야한다는것!

Beautiful room with best location
One of the best hotels we been, room was beautiful and clean and location were perfect. Cafe and restaurant were only 2minutes of walking! Duamo was also really close. Metro were in 3 minutes of walking, really close! Also, safe area. Balcony was really nice and with good view. Roof in our room was amasing. Price to hotel was super good! If ever coming back to catania Im coming back there! Francesca was really nice and helpfull and spoke really good english! She ordered taxi for us and let us keep our luggages there whole day when our flight left in evening.
