Staff very friendly and would do anything for you. Room very spacious and very clean. Breakfast was amazing and the best I have had in a long time. Location was perfect and right on the doorstep of the main shopping strip with shops and restaurants within walking distance. I would definitely recommend and will return.

"It felt like home. I dont speak Italian but they made me feel like I am a family member. Extremely clean on a spotless l"

10.0

Extremely clean. Has a great view from the terraces of rooms. Its a small place with 6 rooms but the cleaniest so far in Catania. I definetely wanna come back. The owner is super helpful on every aspect. I didnt spend so much time at the hotel in general because it was a work trip but they are lovely there. Free coffee all the time. Breakfast is included and they are trying to arrange according to your wishes. If you are lucky you can listen some opera from your balcony.

Everything was perfect. I cannot think of anything at all. Maybe one note. The owner came to open the door for us (amazing guy) cause we were earlier then expected and had a meeting. If the door is not open downstairs its a bit hard to find the entrance but I recommend if the door is not locked its in between the pastry shop and the bookshop. And the elevator is at the very back of the building on the left to the 5th floor. But again if you are not earlier then given time this shouldnt be any concern :)

This is a bed and breakfast, but the owner does not live on site. The hotel is on the 5th floor of residential building with a gate - so you won't know you're there until the owner meets you (no signs etc). Google maps will tell you you're there. If you see a gated building and Google says you're there, it is probably correct. If you're coming from the airport or train, take the Alibus to Viale bus stop and you'll be about 2 minute walk from the hotel - If you're coming from train ask someone trustworthy (worker) where the stop is for Alibus - you will not know you're at the hotel, but the owner will greet you at the gate. He'll take you to the elevator and will explain all the keys, when you go upstairs. This is such a cute, small bed and breakfast (6 rooms). The breakfast is typical Italian breakfast (croissants, meats, cheese etc). A younger gentleman is there to help with breakfast. Our room (room 1) had a balcony and we were able to enjoy a couple of concerts in the park, from our balcony. We also had access to the kitchenette area so we could grab dishes and glasses if we needed. Both gentleman spoke Italian (which is expected in Italy) but were very patient in my use of a translator app to communicate. Our room was clean and set up very nicely. Large and enjoyable. The only complaint is the neighbor's dog. The neighbor isn't a very good dog owner.
