La Cot B&B

Extrem süßes und spannend eingerichtetes Apartment (B&B) mit nur drei Zimmern. Tolle Gastgeber, die sich die größte Mühe geben ihre Gäste glücklich zu machen. Alle Sehenswürdigkeiten sowie Bushaltestelle fußläufig zu erreichen. Entzückendes Frühstück mit kleinen Leckereien. Das Zimmer ist sehr sauber, die Betten super bequem und sehr komfortabel ausgestattet (auch mit sehr guter Klimaanlage)

Allgemein sehr hellhörig, Lärm von der Straße bzw. Hat das Zimmer (Loft mit kleiner Treppe) keine richtige Tür sondern nur ein abschließbares "Gartentörchen" also keinen Schallschutz vor Gräuschen aus der Wohnung. Die Beschreibung der Zimmer auf Booking stimmt nicht mit den echten Gegebenheiten überein.

The hosts were absolutely fantastic. They found a taxi to take us to Mount Etna to join an early morning hike to the summit as the only daily bus doesn’t depart Catania in time. We could see Mount Etna from our bedrooms. The wonderful eclectic decoration and the thoughtfulness to leave us a packed breakfast to take with us . The location was brilliant for transport connections, a short walk to the town centre and a few great neighborhood restaurants . If it hadn’t been for staying here we would not have warmed to Catania which is a wholly different place from the picturesque arguably more touristy consequently; towns further South. Thank you!

You will be staying in a large apartment with the owner and other residents, and the bathroom is not private. The rooms are very impractical, with no shelves or wardrobes, and there is not even a place to put soap in the shower. There are many personal family belongings that you need to be careful around. The experience is interesting, but when traveling it is not really necessary, especially at this price, where you would expect more privacy.

Es gibt ein wirklich ausgezeichnetes Frühstück und der Gastgeber ist super nett.

Unser Zimmer lag zur Straße und der Straßenverkehr ist erheblich, auch nachts; lärmempfindlich sollte man nicht sein.

merita particolare menzione la colazione. Non il banale e solito tavolo con cose acquistate alla Lidl come molti fanno ma una ricerca di prodotti provenienti dal territorio circostante, come il cornetto con la ricotta fresca di pecora, la frutta freschissima e particolari dolci locali. Devo dire bella esperienza, oltre le mie aspettative

We stayed at La Cot for 5 days, and I can honestly say that you won’t find a host as brilliant as Ninni anywhere else. He is such a lovely and funny person, and you will definitely share a lot of laughs with him. The highlight of our stay was definitely the breakfast. There was plenty of food, with both sweet and savoury options, and everything was fresh, bought from a local bakery or local market. As Ninni told us, they bake bread four times a day in Catania! We were also lucky enough to visit during ricotta season in Sicily, and we were served amazing croissants filled with fresh ricotta. They were absolutely heavenly. Another highlight was Ninni’s fried egg filled with cheese and topped with parmesan — excellent! You also get local savoury specialities from the bakery, such as small arancini and “ham rolls”. Breakfast also includes fruit salad, yoghurt, cereals, bread, cheese spread, jam, butter, cheese and meat slices, and, of course, drinks. I hope I haven’t forgotten anything, but as you can see, there was plenty of food. The room itself was very spacious and nicely decorated. The bed wasn’t super comfortable, but it did the job. The B&B is located just a short walk from the city centre. There are plenty of small shops nearby, as well as a bakery. The view from the rooms is amazing, as you are looking directly at Mount Etna. There are also plenty of companies nearby where you can book a trip there, which is a great experience. We did a trip up to 3,000 metres. Overall, we had a very pleasant stay. And once again, Ninni is a wonderful host who definitely deserves all the great ratings he receives here.

This is not complaint just to be completely transparent with anyone who might find this as an issue. Room windows are towards the busy street. And people in Catania love to travel at any hour of any day. And I mean even like 3am 🤣 For this reason I highly recommend to take earplugs with you. Or ask Ninni for some. Bathroom is private but across the hall and located next to the bathroom of the other room. We didn't have unpleasant incidents or situations because of that though.

Wir wurden sehr nett empfangen und umsorgt. Jeden Morgen wurde uns zu unserer gewünschten Zeit das Frühstück frisch serviert. Der Mitarbeiter des B&B hat uns viele Tipps für Ausflüge und Aktivitäten gegeben, war sehr aufmerksam und freundlich.

Das B&B ist an einer stark befahrenen Straße, sodass man Ohrstöpsel gut gebrauchen kann. Die Lage, um die Stadt Catania zu erkunden, ist jedoch super.

Stylische Einrichtung und Nini, der sehr aufmerksam und kommunikativ war.
