B&B Opera Catania Centro Storico

Great location only 10 minutes by walk to the center but also to the central station. Very nice accommodation with everything you can desire. Very fresh and helpful host.

We stayed at the B&B Opera for 8 nights in early October and enjoyed our stay tremendously. The central location is ideal for those who want to stroll around the old part of the city. There is no elevator, however, so you need to be prepared to walk up and down a few flights of stairs each day. The bed was extremely comfortable and the room was quiet, even though it was located on a narrow and busy street; in addition, the blinds closed completely to make the room as dark as we wanted it. There are many nice restaurants, cafes, and tour offices within easy walking distance of the B&B. In particular, we enjoyed the breakfasts they offer, which are truly exceptional! We had delicious cappuccinos, a freshly made omelet, freshly baked croissants, and fruit juice every day There was also fresh fruit, sliced tomatoes, olives, yogurt, rolls with olive oil, and more to choose from, all for 9 euros each per day. The breakfasts are well worth the price (actually, they are a bargain!) and we really enjoyed eating our breakfasts on the outdoor terrace in the cool morning air. The people who run this B&B are terrific and they will take great care of you. Here's an example: we were planning to take the train to Palermo at the end of our stay, which would have required us to take 2 separate trains (there is no direct train to Palermo) and a taxi when we got to Palermo, which would have taken us more than 4 hours of traveling. However, the owner's son, Alberto, agreed to drive us directly to our hotel in Palermo for less money and in about half the time it would have taken us otherwise! Obviously, we would highly recommend this B&B to anyone who doesn't need to use an elevator to get to the upper floors.

We had a fabulous time at B&B OPERA. The apartment was very clean and comfortable. Dionisios was a fantastic host- very accommodating and responsive!

Lovely room, Alberto made an effort for a personal welcome. We had to leave early for the airport, but Alberto offered to bring us by car. Friendly and timely. Great experience.

Lots of stairs, nothing we could not manage but good to be aware of.

We fell in love with this place. It felt like home. It's so charming and cosy. The host is very kind and helpful, we received lots of useful advices. All the staff is amazing. Location is fantastic, everything is near. Breakfast is wonderful, mornings in the fabulous courtyard are truly unforgettable. This place is a lovely hidden gem in that big city. We will be more than happy to come back again!

Excellent location, clean room, friendly owners, Alberto was very helpful and flexible.
