Casa Barbero Charme & Rooms

The subway is closed to the rooms, but no bus

We spent a wonderful time in Casa Barbero. We felt like in a small Palazzo. The rooms are unique and very clean. We started the days in a small garden with a delicious breakfast and small talk with Antonio. He assisted us with everything and had answers to all of our questions. It was like staying at a friends house. We can only recommend this house, the host, the staff... simply wonderful. If possible I would ask for a different room than the one towards the street. But beside that, the most perfect place to stay in Catania.

familiäres kleines B&B mit hervorragendem Service. Der Gastgeber Antonio hat uns bei allen Fragen geholfen und unsere Wünsche vollumfänglich umgesetzt; sei dies Bezüglich Abholung am Flughafen, privaten Touren oder Gruppentouren oder Informationen zum öffentlichen Verkehr. Wir haben uns gleich wie "zu Hause" gefühlt. Wir werden jederzeit wieder in der Casa Barbero buchen. Nur nicht unbedingt das Zimmer an der "Strasse". Die Zimmer zum Innenhof sind zu bevorzugen.

Der Kontakt war freundlich zeitnah und vollkommen unkompliziert. Der Checkin einfach. Das Bed and Breakfast hatte einen besonderen Charme. Die Einrichtung stilvoll. Der Innenhof sehr ruhig. Die Lage nah am Zentrum und in der Nähe gab es Restaurants, Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und bewachte Parkplätze.

We enjoyed 3 nights at the Casa Barbero. The hotel room was large and opens onto the courtyard where we had breakfast each day. It was also lovely to have the hosts little dog Lola around for breakfast each day too. Monica and Antonio sent us very clear instructions on how to enter the hotel (codes to doors) and where to find our room keys, and then we’re also there to greet us. Antonio was an exceptional host - he responded to a few questions we had on WhatsApp before and during our stay. We parked in the Green Parking for the first night, which cost €15, and then found a space on the road outside the hotel for the second 2 nights. Once directly outisde the hotel and once just after the train track, a couple of minutes walk up the road. The road felt very safe to park on. The hotel is about a 20/30 minute walk to the centre of Catania - we were pleased to be away from the busy streets. We would definitely stay here again and thanks to Monica and Antonio for the welcoming us.

We stayed at the Casa Barbero Charme between October 18th and 22nd, 2023, and loved it. Interestingly, we arrived at Casa Barbero on October 17th as I thought I booked that night, just to find out that I didn't. There was no room available and Antonio, the owner, booked us a night in another B&B near Casa Barbero, which was very helpful. Antonio also booked an amazing Sunset trip to Etna Volcano for us, where we took gorgeous pictures. This trip is highly recommended for all Catania visitors. Overall our stay was great. We enjoyed the beautiful patio filled with lush plants and had lunches and dinners there. The breakfasts were served in the Baroque-styled dining room decorated with original art. Coffee, warm croissants, eggs, jams, fresh fruit and juices, among all other fixings. Our room was spacious and comfortable with a daily cleaning service. It was well-equipped with everything we needed; TV and airconditioner, as well as a kettle, cups, and a selection of teas and coffee. Casa Barbero is situated in a quiet area of town, with a 5-minute walk to The Botanical Garden and about a 15-20-minute walk to the main attractions at the Piazza Duomo and Dante. There was a supermarket within a short 1-2 minute walk. We kept our car in a parking called Ideal Park for $20 a night. It's a 10-minute walk from Casa Barbero. It was well worth it.

Antonio was excellent at communication, before our arrival promptly and accurately answering our questions.

The hotel is a 20 minute walk from the centre and only a 20 minute walk to the Metro and also the Circumetnea train station. The rooms are around a pretty courtyard providing a lovely spot for breakfast. We stayed in Bianco which was a beautiful and spacious room and very comfortable.
