The owners were very kind and helpful. The breakfast was very good and very italian 😆. The place was vlean , comgortable and antic design that was very cool. The location was perfect in the center of historical city of Catania. Only 2 minutes walk from Piazza Del Duomo . Ease access to Bus Station and Tourist Guides if you want to move to or visit other cities or attractions. The sea was 30-35 minutes walk but there were buses every 10-15 minutes. (1 euro tickets).
No dislikes. For the price you pay is 10/10 stay.

The B&B is located in the center of Catania and in walking distance of all sights. It is easily accessible from the airport (both via bus and car) and with its elegant, former century interior, makes you feel like you have just entered an Italian palazzo. Each morning, we were woken up by the smell of coffee and fresh pastries and greeted with a smile by Luigi and Melina, who run the place. Both of them instantly made us feel like family and went out of their way to ensure we have everything we need, while still giving us space and privacy. We will definitely book this place again the next time we come to Catania!

Nice and cozy room. Comfortable and huge mattress. Heavy curtains. Effective and operative air-conditioning. Small balcony. Less than 10 minutes to piazza Duomo.
There wasn't a refrigerator in the room. It is quite needed, especially during summer time. The wooden closet seemed quite fragile. I would like to taste some salty breakfast (bacon, eggs) not only sweets, ham and cheese.

Breakfast was prepared by Señora Malina, and was excellent
If there was a small refrigerator / coffee machine in the room it would be perfect. The neighborhood around the room looks dirty and neglected (in fact the whole area in the old city of Catania looks like this)

Beautiful room with style and balcony in a lovely location, big and confortable for 2 adults with 2 small children. We could also Park the car in front of the door for free! Spotless shared bathroom. Lovely breakfast experience. Loved talking to Luigi who prepared breakfast for us. Soulful stay! Would love to come back.
I liked everything!

Excellent location Generous and delicious breakfast with croissants, pancakes and homemade omelette Clean room and frequent cleaning Our host Melina is amazing, friendly and caring
A mini fridge would be appropriate especially in summer days as we visited Unstable internet connection Hosted in old building, could be better maintained

The host was amazing. This lady took genuine care for us and made incredible breakfast. She quickly memorized what we preferred to drink with our breakfast and each morning after that she asked me if I wanted a cappuccino. Also very flexible about the time we wanted breakfast each day (we always told her the day before). Besides this she helped us out with planning trips and always tried to help us. She really made the difference.
One of the four rooms has two single mattresses instead of a big one. One of us considered the pillows to be a little bard but this is ofcourse a personal preference.
