We stayed in Scialla 3rd floor Apt for 7nights. It is a real gem, spacious, spotless and the hosts are amazing. The location is a perfect base to explore Catania as it is close to all the main attractions restaurants etc. It was also easy to travel along the east coast on day trips from here - as it is close to two bus stations. The hosts were so welcoming, generous and kind- they even offered us free breakfasts on the days we arrived and departed- for anyone staying b&b the breakfast is great. Well done Giuseppe and Emanuele and your team.

Everything was great!

The hosts were very kind, friendly and helpful! The location is very good, everything is near five minutes walking. The room was very clean and spacious, the bed is comfortable. The mini bar in the room was surprisingly free! The breakfast was very lovely and tasty, not too large options pool to choose from but really good ingredients and options to have a good meal. We arrived there before we could check in, but they were very fast (like 20mins) and they also give us a free breakfast and free cappuccinos as well while we were waiting for our room to be ready. I could easily communicate with the host on WhatsApp and they were responding so fast and filling our needs as soon as possible. They can even provide you a tourist guide if you want to go for a hike to Etna! Lovely place, would easily recommend!

We travelled throughout Italy. From Milan to Tuscany to Amalfi to Palermo. But this was the best B&B experience of all. The location is superb. Very close from the main train station, very close to the city center and the historical landmarks. The rooms are tastefully done and the breakfast is great. The best breakfast spread of any hotel/B&B we stayed in Italy. And last but not the least, the owners are the best. Very helpful and welcoming. They feel glad to have you which is always a great feeling! The check in process is very smooth and Giuseppe helped us a lot at the time of check out and helped us in booking a cab to the station since we had a lot of luggage. Couldn't recommend this place enough.

What a great B&B. We've been travelling around Sicily for over 3 weeks and this was our last night - just to be closer to the airport really so we booked a simple, good value double room. We arrived by train and left by airport bus so chose somewhere with easy access to the station and the airport bus. Not only was this the perfect location for both journeys (easy walk from the station and across the road for the airport Alibus stop), it was also a short stroll away from the main Piazza del Duomo. The welcome from Emanuele was perfect. We got a message asking us to confirm our arrival and to see if we needed any directions and we then got a lovely welcome. When I failed to respond (oops!) he called me to check we were OK. Our room (Arci) was really nice - lovely tiled floors, immaculate decor, sound-proofed double doors and blackout shutters leading to a small balcony, perfect furnishings, tea and coffee making, fridge with free soft drinks, lovely bathroom with powerful shower, quality towels, comfy bed with quality linen. Add to this the lovely outdoor terrace available to guests where we enjoyed our breakfast. What a great spot to relax and get some sunshine if you stay for longer than we did. We stayed in a variety of accommodation types during our travels around Sicily - this one absolutely deserves our top score for quality and for value for money. I would return without hesitation.

Giuseppe was very welcoming and helpful. The room was adequate, clean, came with tea/coffee making facilities and bottled water. An adequate breakfast was served on the roof terrace with a lovely view. Location was not right in the centre but it was a short walk away (10 mins).

Nothing really given the price. NOTE: Nothing to do with the accommodation but we tried the well-rated Paranza restaurant just across the square which was a major disappointment, largely because the owner was smoking just outside the restaurant area (smoke blowing in) and the level of service.

A really great place for two or a small family like ours. Great location - close to the airport bus stops (and the airport), the bus stations to Siracusa and Taormina, and at a convenient walking distance from the city centre. The street is busy during the day, but the soundproof windows close out the noise. The rooms have air conditioning, but we didn't use that in February... The building is pretty secure, with two heavy security doors for the entrance and the flat (plus the apartments). The apartments are lovely and spacious, with a cool design, comfy beds, and a lovely and clean bathroom. You even get your own brand-new slippers, so don't bother packing one. The hosts are very friendly and helpful and treat you very well (and they're fluent in English). The buffet breakfast is a wide selection of local delicacies - salamis, cheeses, pastry, jam, eggs, pickled olives and other vegs, buns, but there's also yoghurt, nutella and corn flakes. And fresh fruit, obviously, but no fresh vegs - these simply do not seem to be part of the local cuisine. You can leave your bags for free before and after your stay in a secure place, to which you got your own key - this was a big help for us. Thoroughly recommended.

Please note that water is heated locally, as probably everywhere in the town, so it may run out if many people take long showers right after one another.

Located near restaurants and near all major attractions. Great little restaurants, pizzerias and sandwich shops nearby to eat on the cheap. Catania Airport Alibus stop direct to the airport is just across street, and intercity bus from Palermo or other cities drops you only a few blocks away from this property. Very convenient. Very good breakfast with very attentive and helpful breakfast staff who will make you any egg order you wish and great Cappuccino. Highly recommend this property if staying in Catania. Great host and great stay! Would definitely stay here again.

Nothing.

Loved our stay here! Great location for walking to the historic center and to Teatro Bellini. Emanuele had excellent communications with us prior to our stay and assisted us with parking right in front of the B&B. Google driving directions got us there without the crazy driving we were expecting coming into Catania. We left the car parked and we were able to easily walk everywhere we wanted to go from here. A great shower was a bonus! Thanks Emanuele for the kind treatment you gave us.

Absolutely nothing. A great choice for accommodations in Catania.

This was our second stay at this hotel in Catania, and we were happy with everything overall. The location, service, and amenities met our expectations, making our return visit a pleasant experience. The check-in time is earlier than at most other hotels in Italy (13:00), which was very convenient for us. Additionally, we were able to leave our bags at the hotel, and the staff was very helpful and accommodating in assisting us with that. The location of this hotel is just perfect - close to the train station and with the Alibus stop to the airport just 50 meters away. We also enjoyed visiting the historical city center, which is absolutely stunning and rich in charm. So, we enjoyed our stay and would be happy to return in the future.

The air conditioner in the living room did not heat up the air properly, even though it indicated it was working. Thankfully, it wasn’t cold, so it wasn’t a major inconvenience. Another point was the shower. While functional, it wasn’t very spacious, which was a bit challenging for us as we are both tall. We had to be quite careful while using it.

The location is unbeatable—right in the heart of Catania, just a short walk from the main attractions, shops, and restaurants. This charming B&B is beautifully decorated, blending modern comforts with authentic Sicilian touches. The rooms are spacious, spotlessly clean, and equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay, including a very cozy bed. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and went out of their way to make my stay enjoyable, offering great tips on local spots to visit. Breakfast was a highlight—fresh, local, and delicious, with a nice variety of options to start the day off right. I also appreciated the little details, like the coffee and snacks available throughout the day.
