Had the most incredible stay at Zahara - the space is so well designed with incredible attention to detail and an amazing view of Catania. The hosts were very friendly and replied quickly to any questions I had before and during my stay. I loved the room and it was the perfect size for me, the bed was insanely comfortable and had everything you’d need for a city break away. The complimentary breakfast is at a nearby local cafe which is great as you get to feel like a local and there are loads of breakfast options to suit all tastes. The location is perfect to see all the wonders of Catania - all within a very short walk, but not on a loud street so you sleep like a baby throughout. Loved all the design details throughout the rooms and communal spaces, would definitely stay again and have recommended this place to friends and family.

Nothing, perfect 10/10 stay

Barbara is really nice and caring. The room and bathroom is modern and clean. Also a little Balkony is included. the breakfast is in a bakery 3 mins away - super delicious. The accomondation is placed 5 mins from the Main Square of Catania. 15 mins away From the Train Station. - super easy to Go anywhere. Many Restaurants 5 mins away. Lidl 10 mins away. Been here in december, ac is included for hot summers. Fristly we were sceptical to book it due to less rates, but then „risked it“ - lucky us, because its a 10/10. Highly recommended.

beautiful room, excellent location, very helpful staff!

everything was really great. if anything, id suggest better noise isolated doors or better acoustic padding in the hall. sometimes you could hear the other rooms through the door.

Very stylish property and room. Loved the concept: modern furnishings, lots of plants and stylish details. The room was clean, comfortable and included all amenities needed for a short stay. Towels and linen smelled even fresher than the ones at my own place! The staff was very welcoming, helpful and kind.

We had a great experience. Super nice staff, smooth check-in and check-out. The room was clean, stylish and well equipped. The location was amazing, in the center, everything we needed was walking distance. The breakfast was set up in a really nice cafe nearby.

One tiny thing is that you could hear everything that was happening in the hallway. Luckily other tourists were considerate and did not make much noise.
