We stayed for one night at Bastio to celebrate my husband's 40th birthday and couldn't have been happier with our stay. From checking-in and receiving a bit of a tour of the building and its history, to our incredible room with hamam, our stay couldn't have been better. All members of staff were incredibly kind and nothing was too much trouble. We received a glass of prosecco and a cake on arrival which truly made our stay so much more special. The location is fantastic, the view from our balcony of the cathedral was beyond perfect. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend a stay here more. It surpassed all expectations and that's thanks to Celso's incredible running of the place. Thank you so much for helping me celebrate my husband's birthday in style!

Nothing. Everything was perfect!

Absolutely stunning property! Old wine cellar updated with the new modern amenities. Very private and only a few suites. The employees are beyond friendly and accommodating beginning with Celso, the GM, Vitoria and the rest of the staff. The location could not be better!It’s in a private quiet street and two minutes away is the center of the old town. And to top it all off, it’s attached to a super cool Michelin rated restaurant where the food is insanely fabulous . Ivana who works there along with the lady from Brasil are exquisite ! This place is a find 💖

Nothing

The rooms are exceptionally spacious, clean, and comfortable, providing plenty of room to relax and unwind. The customer service was outstanding—staff members were attentive, friendly, and always willing to help with anything I needed. The location is excellent, making it convenient to explore the surrounding area, and the building itself is very impressive, with beautiful architecture that adds to the overall experience. Overall, I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a combination of comfort, convenience, and top-notch service.

Everything! The rooms are huge and spacious. Tons of space to spread out. We requested a room with a tub, and so glad we did! They have jacuzzi jets, and after a long day of walking and exploring it was awesome to be able to come in and soak! The location was unbeatable. You are literally a 1 minute walk to the main gate entrance of the old part of the city. Everything is at your doorstep. We rented a car, and were a little nervous how far a lot would be. It was 100 meters, which didn’t mean much to me, but a 1 minute walk from hotel. It was super inexpensive, and protected and secure. No issues at all. Unloading our massive suitcases and loading them back in dragging across cobble stone roads was not an issue. It’s an old historic building that was used to house this hotel, and they have retained the antiquity within the walls of the structure that you can appreciate in your room. The best part though was the staff! My heartiest thanks to Celso. He communicated promptly via text. Even after hours when I couldn’t work the coffee machine and had a simple question. He upgraded our room, without charge, he was very very insightful. The restaurants he recommended, we ended up eating eating twice or thrice at. Usually hotels staff will recommend the more touristy or expensive restaurants, he did not. He texted us a list and all were exceptional. We are very well traveled, and we would say that beyond location, luxury of the hotel itself, and comfort, which this one checks all boxes , but the most important thing is the hotel staff. This hotel is remarkable because of Celso took care of us. Breakfast was average, and not a huge selection, but sufficient. Coffee was amazing that he would make for us every morning. A lady helping out during breakfast, Evelyn, was always so hospitable, sweet and positive attitude. We will miss Catania, and the warmth of the people there. A big thank you to Celso for making our trip memorable. We hope to see you again soon.

Breakfast could be more abundant.

We are still quite overwhelmed and excited over the outstanding overall experience of staying at the Bastiò Private Suites. Right after booking the communciation was on a perfect level. I've asked for some extra favors as it was my partner's birthday. Not only did the manager and his team simply consider my requests, they made it personal and special, they took their time to make this a very spceial stay fro my partner and I. Without asking, and I honestly didn't even consider to ask as we've booked a beautiful suite and were already happy, but th eManager surprised us with an upgrade to a spectacular suite. The overall building was beautiful, the Suites are located in such a great area in Catania, so close to the most beautiful churches, the nicest restaurants and a fish market, while still being located quiet with a nice few on a park. Also the windows are 100% noise proof, it was just perfect. The restaurant is beautiful, the menu looked amazing, but we already had other restaurants booked. We can't wait tho to eat there on our next trip to Catania. We will be back at Bastiò Private Suites for sure, hopefully sooner than later.

There's literally nothing bad to say about Bastiò Private Suites.

The service was excellent, the room was amazing, the amenities exceeded most 5 star hotels I've stayed in, the pillows were so comfortable I even took the pillowcase apart to see the brand of the pillowcase. The hotel is centrally located and within walking distance to many places.

Parking may not be easy, there was a long line to park in the public parking lot in front of the hotel on Saturday night, took more than 30 minutes to park, other times were fine.

Nice Italian breakfast and excellent service. Great room and amazing location for the main areas of Catania. Excellent eating choices within 10 mins walking. Also airport was less than 15 mins away.

For the price , there could be a Prosecco at breakfast. Some more space for clothes in the room , no shelves. Could add a nice sofa in the room, plenty of space. Seemed like, owners were trying save costs, only provided one small bottle water per night for 2 people!

This hotel was absolutely amazing, we saw the pictures online first but the reality was so much better. The room was stunning, with original brick wall feature and a cute little patio area. The bed was really comfortable and everything was utterly spotless. The staff were great, very welcoming and helpful, even down to providing a vegan breakfast in the morning. Highly recommend this hotel.

The only little thing that made us uncomfortable was that the toilet could be seen from the bedroom unless the huge sliding glass door was closed and no light was used.

The most wonderful stay ever among all the trips I’ve been through! You wouldn’t be able to imagine how kind and caring they are. I was on honeymoon and searched for the right place. It’s not the season in March in Sicily, but we were provided with a quality breakfast with lovely greets. And the building was amazing too! You have the ancient structure inside your room, which is a unique experience! We also loved hammam, a Turkish Sauna. And the most wonderful part, Celso and his colleague. I’m really grateful to the hospitality. I’d definitely visit this place again if I were given another chance. Thank you so much for everything.

None! Please show what you’ve got as always.

It was a pleasure staying at Catania at the BASTIÒ PRIVATE SUITES! We enjoyed the central location, which provided us with convenience for exploring the city. The remarkable owner, Celso, was an absolute treasure, going above and beyond to ensure our comfort. He truly made our stay memorable, from providing us with a map and restaurant recommendations to assisting us with luggage and initiating an early check-in option. By 12:00, we had already settled into our amazing, spacious suite. The place was impeccably clean, and we also enjoyed a late check-out. Parking our car right in front of the hotel was incredibly convenient. Even though it was centrally located, the room provided a peaceful retreat from the city's hustle and bustle. Additionally, Celso went above and beyond by assisting us with shipping a package back home. Without a doubt, we wholeheartedly recommend this suite hotel to everyone visiting Catania.
