The accomodation is run by a brother and sister. They were really nice, helpful and well prepared for the questions (nearby restaurants, public transportation, taxi, etc.) The breakfast is far more than a typical italian breakfast. We were asked at the arrival what we usually eat, and they prepare it for us, even with gluteen free options.

Everything was great.

Breakfast was good, mostly sweet bread products. No cheese or meats. Loved the fact that the bathroom has many hooks to hang clothes which are lacking in so many other places. The hosts, Laura and Luca, are very friendly and helpful in providing us with the information we needed. Really appreciated the fact that Laura woke up extra early to make breakfast for us since we had an early morning tour on the second day of our arrival. The room was very well-appointed, beds were comfortable and we had easy access to the kitchen. Bathroom was large and had warmers for the towels etc. Great feature. The B&B is also located close to lots of restaurants.

Didn't care for the fact that they don't make the beds while cleaning your room. Also there is a bright light that comes on automatically in the space between the bedroom and the bathroom which is very disturbing and distracting for those already in bed, who get woken up. It is quite unnecessary and we told Laura that. I had sprained my ankle and foot while on a tour and was told to apply ice packs. Unfortunately the B&B don't have ice on hand. Be aware of that if u want ice.

We loved everything about B&B Contessa dei venti and Laura and Luca were fantastic hosts. The pre arrival communication was excellent. We asked if we could drop our bags off pre check in, which they were more than happy for us to do, and when we arrived our rooms were ready earlier than anticipated. The rooms were spotless, very well equipped and website photos are a true representation . The property is very secure and the perfect base to explore lovely Catania (approx 20-25 mins walk from the centre). We loved the location and had a fabulous meal at a local restaurant 3 mins walk from the B&B. The Italian style breakfast was perfect for us - great coffee! We hope to visit the area again as it was a one night stay before a flight to Naples but we would have no hesitation in staying again and highly recommend.

We loved everything - it was perfect for us.

The hosts were very kind and helpful. They offered a nice breakfast in the morning and were accommodating to our schedule. We only stayed overnight but it was an enjoyable stay. The rooms were clean and modern.

It was out of the hosts control but the building elevator was not in service due to renovations and we had to walk up 4 flights of double stairs. The hosts alerted us with enough time to cancel because of this and we choose to keep our reservation. They were very accommodating and were willing to come and help us with our baggage if we needed upon arrival. We only brought backpacks so went up ourselves.

Good location, very friendly hosts, room was very clean, new and in a good standard. There wasn't any noise heard at night, beds were comfortable.

Only sweets for breakfast, I'm not used to this type of breakfasts every day. My little suggestion would be to differentiate it a bit - add some cheese, ham and vegetables as an option.

This B&B is veryyyy clean, from the moment you are welcomed at the door, you realize how clean it is. The siblings Laura and Luca are very polite and helpful. We enjoyed every single day of our stay here, as the whole place is newly renovated, the room is very comfortable, clean, fast wifi, and in general this place has a great location, 8 minutes walk from the central street. Laura, always willing to help, gave us many great recommendations on what to do while in Catania. Furthermore, she gave us the contact of Andrea for a trip to Etna, which was fantastic, plus he lives in the same buidling (so no need to move far as he picks you at the front door). We will definitely come back to B&B Contessa in our next trip to Catania, Laura and Luca are excellent hosts.

very nice rooms

limited breakfast - you have to ask everytime you want something

First of all, a big 10 + for the two who have this B&B. They are wonderful people who don't know how to help you better. I received a lot of information about Catania from them (where to go, what to visit, where to eat, etc.). Regarding accommodation: 1. everything is new 2. good quality materials 3. very clean 4. very good quality towels 5. the room we stayed in also had a balcony with a table and two chairs, which is a plus 6. Bum Italian breakfast 7. close to the center, quiet area away from noise. Concluding a grade 10 holiday in a grade 11 location 😀

Everything! Our hosts, Luca anf Laura, were very friendly and helpfull. They gave us a lot of informations about places to visit and a lot of other small details about our trip. The italian breakfast was very tasty, with good coffee and fresh croissants. The place was not far from the city center . And we felt like visiting old friends.

The rooms were spotless and the host were beyond amazing. They went out of their way to make sure our stay was excellent. We i formed them that one of our party needed a gluten free breakfast and they provided several options for her. Luca and Laura were perfect host. The location was easily walkable to main attractions.
