We were welcomed by Carmela, a truly wonderful person. Unfortunately l got food poisoning on day 2 and she really looked after me, even went to the chemist with my partner to get me medicine. The Owner was very helpful and provided any info that we needed. Contact was available over What's up. Room/mattress/pillows were very comfortable and very clean. Breakfast was typical Italian. Coffee, 🥐 yogurt, ham and cheese .Location was good, an easy 10 minute walk to the center. Only 10 minute drive from the airport with a taxi ,€22 (owner will give you a Nr for a cheaper taxi) It is a long walk to the central train/bus station for doing day trips outside the city, but you can take a city bus from Piazza Borslina (10min walk from the room. €1.40 each way) The trip is quick and you arrive right next door to the Interbus station where you can take day trips to many places.

We had a wonderful stay at this accommodation in Catania! The location is perfect, close to all the main attractions yet peaceful enough for a relaxing stay. The rooms are spacious and well-maintained. One of the highlights of our experience was the Italian breakfast. Every morning, it was beautifully prepared, fresh, and diverse, catering to our taste. A special mention goes to delightful Carmela, who not only kept the place impeccably clean but also took great care in serving the breakfast. Her warmth, attention to detail, and friendly smile truly made us feel at home. The overall hospitality was exceptional, and we would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Catania. Thank you, Carmela and signor Savio, for making our stay memorable!

The property with the ceiling frescoes really gave the property an authentic old world charm with the vaulted very high ceiling, and the furnishings were charming. Not to far from main centre of town which is convenient and parking on-site is handing only if you're brave enough to tackle to paper thin squeeze through their gates off a busy street, but parking is an asset. What really stood out however was the hospitality of the most lovely Italian lady, who mothered us each morning for breakfast and you felt like a guest in her home, and the front desk was equally outstanding.

Would have ideally liked a two rooms with two large beds, not two queen beds in one large room, but we realise everything comes at a cost.

I recently stayed in a wonderful apartment in the heart of Catania, and I can’t recommend it highly enough! The location is fantastic; it's just a short walk from all the main attractions, restaurants, and shops. The apartment itself was spotless and beautifully decorated, making it feel like a home away from home. The amenities were top-notch, comfortable beds, and free Wi-Fi. One of the highlights was the stunning view from the balcony, where I enjoyed my morning coffee while taking in the sights of the city. The host was incredibly welcoming and helpful, providing great recommendations for local places to visit. Overall, my stay was simply amazing, and I can't wait to come back to this lovely apartment in Catania!

Location is close to city center. Arriving around noon, we were lucky to find parking on blue zone which was 2.90 eur for half day which was great. We stayed in room no 6, it is a bit small, but for one night it is ok. Breakfast was fine, italian style more sweet than salty, but nothing special. Room was clean and no strange smell considering it's old town.

There is no air condition, so during summer it may be a real challenge, for us in sep was ok-ish. A bit noisy in the morning hours if the room is on the same side with breakfast room, but it's mentioned that quiet hours are until 8 am.

Very convenient location with view of Catania Cathedral in the distance (we could see it whilst on the balcony). If you are travelling by car, this is a perfect accommodation with a secure parking space at extra charge. Parking spaces in Catania are like gold dust! Beautiful baroque style rooms with high ceilings and comfy beds. Super clean. Our beds were made, towels changed and room cleaned every day. Exceptionally helpful and friendly staff- Carmen and Mariangela. Free lunch coupons for Mount Etna trip! Great local recommendations. Thank you.

No coffee/ tea making facilities in the room.

The room was so lovely and spacious. The staff very lovely and made it easy to check in. We also were able to book the car park in the courtyard only for €15. Catania’s streets are very small, make sure you have a small car and full insurance as very likely you will scratch it, no matter how careful you are.

The breakfast was very simple, however there was good coffee and lovely fresh croissants. From the outside it doesn’t look at all like a palace, however once inside the gate it’s really lovely.

Breakfast was OK for Italy - had better, had worse. Room decor was lovely, as expected though furniture quite basic; very comfortable bed however. Card access through entrance to building and room was very convenient. Host and lady who did breakfast and room cleaning both lovely.

The area is rather run-down but don't let this put you off. Once inside the accommodation is fine and just a 10 minute walk from the main attractions around the Duomo.

The location is great - it is close to the city centre, and everything is within walking distance. The owner/manager was helpful, she helped us with transport from the airport and public transport, thank you for everything Maria Angela :). The room was big with a comfortable bed, there was water every day. The breakfast was ok - enough pastry, bread, cereals, yoghurts - essentials.

Nothing

Staff were brilliant, accommodating, friendly, and kind. The manager, Mariangela, was very patient and accessible. When she was not around in person, she was accessible via WhatsApp, and features of the hotel could be automated remotely, including being let in late at night for the first time. Hotel obligatory acts (checking in, etc) are done at own pace. The location of the hotel is very strategically placed within close distance to the centre and between the major attractions of the city. We enjoyed ourselves very much and would come back.

Minor issue due to visit being in a heatwave, but air conditioning often struggled to cool room. It was comfortable at night, and we slept well, but in the afternoon, it was quite hot. I would imagine this would be an issue in most hotels of this kind and would not affect my choice.
