The property is ideally located, just a short walk from Catania center, making it easy to explore the city. The neighborhood felt safe and friendly. The apartment was clean and tastefully decorated, creating a cozy atmosphere. Cristina was a fantastic host! She was communicative and incredibly helpful, offering great recommendations for local eateries and activities. It was evident that she truly care about their guests' experiences. My stay was relaxing and enjoyable, and I would gladly return. Thank you, Cristina, for a memorable experience!

Traffic made it difficult to fall asleep sometimes

Absolutely recommend this beautiful place! Cristina and Rob were amazing and beyond welcoming. We arrived late at night and Cristina was in contact with us to organise being at the accomodation to assist us getting settled and checked in. The rooms are cute and quaint with a lovely antique character and charm. For breakfast you have an array of choice from seasonal fruit, yoghurt, to fresh bread, cheese and slice meat. The road outside is very busy and may disrupt light sleepers but my partner and I were not disturbed by the noise at all. Cristina and Rob take the time to mark on a map sights to see and places to eat and drink (we tried almost all of them and they were great recommendations). Their experience of running a BnB for 20 years definitely shows and we would definitely stay again!

Rob was a fantastic host who gave us awesome recommendations for what to do and where to eat not only in Catania but all over the east coast of Sicily. The location is amazing (1 block from the castle and a 10-15 minute walk from almost everything else in downtown Catania). The breakfast was fantastic. It should be noted that the shared bathrooms were not an issue at all while we stayed at the B&B; that is, we were always able to access the bathroom/shower whenever we needed it.

The check-in process could have been smoother (but this was made harder but us not having cell service to contact the property manager when we arrived for check-in). The parking near the B&B can be a little bit hit-or-miss; we had difficulty parking near the B&B on a Saturday night (there is lots of nightlife nearby which meant more cars parked on the side streets), but we easily found street parking 1 block away from the hostel on Sunday afternoon.

Rob was very nice! So kind, he spoiled us with breakfast, with information about Sicily & Catania. We had a room with a shared bathroom. Room was perfect, good bed, good working airconditioning & a balcony 👍 There is one big bathroom with a bath and a toilet & one smaller bathroom with a shower & a toilet. Hairdryer was working perfectly 👌 Location is perfect!

It's noisy outside, but your right next to the center, that's Italy đŸ€·â€â™€ïž I slept good 😊

We really enjoyed our stay at this B&B. We had to book it last minute, but Rob was really nice and welcoming! Rooms are clean and spacious, the view fr the balcony is really nice! The whole place is friendly, the owner helps you with everything. You can choose your own breakfast. This place is really nice for a short but also a longer stay, since the location is really good and the host is really helpful and friendly!

Rob was an absolutely amazing host, he met us in person for a very late check in and walked us through all the ins and outs of his b'n'b. The breakfast was delicious, and he even made sure to find vegan options for us. Rob also helped us booking a trip to mount Etna and helping us decide which tour would be best. Since we were worried that it would be too cold in our clothes he even managed to lend us jackets and coats and even got us a pair of pants to make sure we wouldn't get cold. The b'n'b's interior is very unique and eccentric looking, which makes it all the more cozy and homy. I would definitely recommend staying there and would also go back again.

Rob was an amazing host and gave us so many great tips and recommendations for Catania. Follow his advices where to eat and what to do there ;-) I highly recommend to visit "Etna volcano" as well. We had a car rental and it is also possible to take a bus. Breakfast was lovely and also a great place to get in contact with other guests and travellers. A very nice, cosy place to stay, just go with the flow! Rob, you are the best, was a real pleasure to meet you!

A very charming place, I felt at home and welcomed straight away. The host, Cristina, is very attentive and genuinely friendly. Her fabulous breakfast was a great way to start the day. I had never stayed in a B&B before, but 5 Balconi must be the best of the best. I also loved the nice vintage decor. The room, bathroom, and kitchen were all sparkling clean.

Very good location, 5 minutes walk to old town Catania. Rob and Cristina are the kindest hosts ever, they take care of each guest, and make sure you have a pleasant time.

The street is very busy therefore a little bit noisy, but perfect location anyway, city center, sights, restaurants are all very close.

The kindness of Cristina and Rob are exceptional, always attentive to our arrival giving the best instructions to get there from the airport. The beautiful super vintage house, clean and cozy. It is very well located 5 minutes from the old town. The super delicious breakfast did not lack anything and they were always accommodating with what we wanted to eat. I recommend them 100%. We can only say thank you for such a welcoming stay.

The mattress they should be better.
