Guest Reviews
- stéphanie (9/5): -
- Catherine (10/5): Great property and location - The B& B was very nice, well maintained and great location. The breakfast was fantastic and staff very helpful. The elevator was very small. The balcony was hard to access.
- Krysten (10/5): Responsive, delightful hosts. Easiest check in, beautiful shared space and our room was immaculate. - The breakfast was WONDERFUL! So unexpected with so many choices. We enjoyed fresh fruit, fresh juices, homemade pastries & sweets, yogurt, muesli and delicious cappuccinos. Nothing. It was actually one of our top favorite places to stay and we were in Italy for a month!
- Catherine (10/5): Perfect location and beautiful place - This B& B is so beautiful and well maintained. The staff is very helpful and location is great. The room layout and view from my balcony were fantastic. There many options for breakfast. The elevator is a little small and tricky, but once you get a handle on it, you're fine.
- Frederico (10/5): séjour confort Palace et authenticité bnb - L'endroit est idéal ; en plein centre de Catane avec un confort de palace. Les propriétaires sont très attentionnés et tellement agréables ! Bonus pour le petit-dejeuner hyper gourmand que nous a préparé la propriétaire avec des plats faits maison. Franchement : rien !
- matthew (10/5): Fantastic place with caring and friendly hosts - The property was a real beauty- an old Pallazzo beautifully refurbished but still very authentic. It was in an excellent part of town and the hosts were very helpful and welcoming. The breakfast was perfect with home made pastries and jams Nothing
- Karina (10/5): Staff were friendly and accomodating. Room was very spacious, even with 3 people. True local breakfast experience with t - Staff were friendly and accomodating. Room was very spacious, even with 3 people. True local breakfast experience with the host prepared meal. Nothing
- Oliver (10/5): Super friendly hosts who made us feel very welcome! - Really nice property in a great location.
- David (9/5): Superb - Really lovely room. Staff Extreme welcoming and friendly
- Anonymous (5/5): Just ok, we could of bypassed the town all together! - Breakfast was ok nothing more than fruit, coffees, juice and pastries with some homemade gelato. People very nice. Room was nice and big and finally a big shower in Italy! Getting to palazzo Costarelli you cannot drive down street and we were not told that which we did so we will get a ticket to pay later. Owner could of gotten us a pass for that to drop off luggage which we had quite a few bags. When we left we had to take our bags over a block down to wait for my husband to get the car and pick up all the luggage. Not easy or convenient!! Also now costly! No parking around there either.
- Anita (10/5): Exceptional - Good location Couldn’t flush toilet paper, which I understand, but it is a hassle.
- Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional - Location in the city centre. View on Enta.
- Gianluca (9/5): Superb -
- Elena (10/5): A dream in Catania - Beautifully decorated, wonderful bathroom, the property is amazing. The owner was so kind. Very nice breakfast, home made food, delicious. A dream Very well situated in the city center
- Kaan (9/5): Superb -
- Julie (10/5): Great value in the heart of Catania! - The host was very attentive and was great at communication. Our room was comfortable, clean, and quiet. The reception area and building was very nicely decorated. Great value in the heart of Catania!
- Andrew (10/5): A memorable stay in a plush historical building! - Almost everything was great! Location great, room great, bathroom great, breakfast great, owners great! Actually the breakfast was incredible, with pistachio pastries and eggs! Also printer was available by WiFi. The hard parts were accessing the room through a street gate, an ancient elevator that was tiny but worked to us up to the fifth floor, and impossible parking when we got a car the night before leaving. Still an enjoyable stay that I will remember long after other hotell memories have faded away.
- Mariette (8/5): Very good - Very convenient location. Staff very friendly and helped with arranging a driver to pick us up at airport. Easy check in. Loved the balcony and view of Etna
- Thomas (10/5): Exceptional -
- Rodrigo (10/5): Exceptional -
- Catherine (10/5): A great place to stay in Catania. Great location. Friendly and helpful staff - The location was in the centre of Catania. The rooms were lovely and the staff friendly and helpful.
- Gerardo (10/5): Great location on the center of Catani, with amazing hosts - Great location, beautiful building, exquisite decoration Nothing
- Jan (10/5): Great place great host. They took very good care of us. Highly recommended. - The apartment was amazing, fully renovated great views over rooftops. The volcano is visible at the end of the street when you stand on the balcony. The apartment is tastefully, decorated and furnished with a separate living room, which can be used by guests for reading, relaxing. The room we stayed in was spacious, clean and bright, faced the courtyard and was quiet. The owners of the apartment would come every morning at breakfast and oversee the proceedings and chat with us to see if everything was OK and give us advice about the city attractions . they would also bring us homemade dessert and fruit from the countryside garden The apartment is opposite H&M and a large department store and is located on the main street of the city shops, café bars all around The apartment is fully renovated, clean and tidy, but the common spaces of the building are abit rundown. But this is not unusual in this city. The historic lift was abit small. but neither of these issues affected our stay. We had a lovely time
- Peyman (8/5): Very good - The room is exceptionally spacious, with high ceilings, stylish décor, and a beautifully done renovation that blends comfort with charm. The apartment is located on the main street, in a restricted traffic zone where driving is not allowed. So bring your luggage is complicated It’s situated on the fourth floor of an old building with a vintage elevator. The neighborhood is not very nice next to market
- Andrew (8/5): Very good -
- Lam (10/5): Exceptional -
- Lippo (10/5): Excellent choice in Catania - Cosy homely stay near all the services of the shopping street. Excellent choise to stay.
- Mary (10/5): Like staying with family, only more stylish! - The owners made us feel very welcome. So helpful and caring. The bed was so comfortable. Beautiful decoration design. The location was really central. I would love to stay again. We got up early to get a bus to Mt Etna but the bus was already full so maybe the owners could give advice to get to the station by 7am to guarantee a seat. However we had a lovely day in Syracuse instead.
- Ruth (10/5): A real home away from home - A real jewel in the center of Catania. Simply wonderful: 1. The design combines modern and traditional with excellent taste. I would have loved to have the same floor tiles as I had there - at home 2. The room, the comfortable beds, the bright white linens, the spacious bathroom made with fine taste 3. The perfect breakfast - just what you need to start a day of travel - with Italian quality as everyone loves 4. Above all, the Costarelli family, who give such a pleasant feeling, available to answer 24/7 via WhatsApp Costarellis, you kind of people that make this world a better one!!! The morning we left the room, my partner smiled and said, "I can't think of anything bad to say about this lovely place."
- Natasha (9/5): Lovely, small bed in breakfast in the historical heart of Catania. - The staff were very helpful and communicative. The location is great, the breakfast was good, and B & B in whole is a good value.
- Shu (9/5): Superb -
- Misels (10/5): Great. Better than I expected. - Central location with a view on Etna mountain. Historical attractions, trattorias / restaurants and fish market within short walking distance. Bus and metro stops are nearby. Fresh and clean facilities. Tasty breakfast. Host's assistance and hospitality.
- Ivica (9/5): Superb -
- Sorana (10/5): Everything was perfect! - Everything was perfect from the owners to the staff, the location, the room and also the whole property. We recommend if you want to have a great time in Catania :) Grazie mille! -
- Eunyoung (10/5): FANTASTIC STAY IN Catania!!! - Everything was perfect!!!! the best host and the location is fantastic-near bus stop to airport, shops, cafes.... A little bit cold in the room(even though the heating system works)
- Julian (9/5): Superb - Great breakfast- some daily basics plus every day changing specialties. The entire family is very caring and friendly. We had a great time. The location is fantastic as it's located in the centre of the main pedestrian road. The airport shuttle stops just opposite to the apartment and basically most of the attractions nearby can be done with a short walk.
- Chloe (10/5): Family-friendly centrally located renovated stay with breakfast - Central location off the Main pedestrian Street. Lovely breakfast. Friendly owners. Charming room. Elevator helped with luggage. Nicely renovated private bathroom. It was amazing! Nothing to not like.
- Allon (10/5): Exceptional -
- Navarro (10/5): Amazing stay. Would definitely recommend to friends & family. - The breakfast was simple but delicious. Love the warm croissants., buffalo cheese cold cuts.Everthing was just great. Maria was very nice and so welcoming and accommodating and catered to all our needs..The rest of the staff were very helpful as well. Looking forward to staying there again. So close to everything.
- Jessie (8/5): Very good - Very lovely people, incredibly friendly and helpful
- Lubka (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jardine (9/5): Perfect location for a downtown stay in Catania. Great food and stores nearby. Beautiful views. - The room was beautiful and clean. Easy access to downtown area. Romantic and fun. Staff was amazing and the breakfast was exceptional. This was a great place to stay in downtown Catania! Loved the ease of access via technology. Hauling luggage from nearby parking was a bit of a challenge but not unexpected in such a nice downtown avenue.
- Jan (9/5): Superb -
- Georgie (10/5): Beautiful accommodation in a central location with lovely hosts. - Fantastic location with very responsive hosts and a lovely breakfast. Room was very clean and comfortable. Amneties were fantastic. Couldn't have asked for more.
- Danielle (10/5): We absolutely loved it here, wish we stayed longer! - The location was perfect, plenty of restaurants and shops close by, a lovely walk to the main square. It felt safe and secure. The breakfast was lovely too!
- Cristina (10/5): Historical & beauty value of updated property, conversations with the owners, the Costarellis - Breakfast was very good, with the personal touch of the owners. Location on central pedestrian street, perfect Historical value and beauty of the property, preserved & very well kept. Owners were very helpful and kind Remote check-in It did not work at first, but promptly solved
- Laura (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was spot on! Very spacious, clean rooms, tasty breakfast, welcoming host. They even gave us some free prosecco on our honeymoon which was very nice! Definitely recommend!
- Kate (9/5): Excellent Highly Recommended - Comfortable and stylish room on the top floor of a beautiful old building. Just 5 rooms on the landing plus reception area and small breakfast room. Friendly helpful staff. Excellent location for town centre and old town.
- Joyce (10/5): Wonderful stay, perfect location fabulous hosts. - Beautiful apartment! Great location and lovely breakfast. A lot of keys for access and only one set.
- Olia (10/5): Stuff was super nice! they met us with a smile and welcoming attitude and I felt like home. - The pillows were memory foam and personal I don't like them
- David (9/5): Lovely B &B in a very central location - The hosts are lovely! The bedroom was a good size with a beautifully decorated ceiling. The bed was comfortable. The breakfast was good.There was a choice of fresh fruit salad, yoghurt, pieces of fruit, salami, cheese, bread, croissants and a home made cake. Location was very central. The Alibus to the airport is on the opposite side of the road outside the B &B which is very handy!. Although the hosts aren't there to greet you when you arrive, they do open the door to the accomodation and your bedroom remotely for you and their contact with you prior to arrival is very good. The downside of the central location is that it is a bit noisy early in the morning, but we used earplugs, so that helped, so it wasn't an issue. You can't put toilet paper down the toilet as it's an old building with old plumbing so that's something you just have to get used to!
- Carole (10/5): Highly recommend this lovely B &B with its friendly staff. - The location was excellent, property was clean and the owners were very accommodating and friendly. Couldn’t ask for a better stay. If anyone didn’t close all 3 doors, the lift was unusable and we sometimes had to climb to the 4th floor to our room. Maybe better instruction for people using the lift?
- Alice (10/5): A great base for exploring Catania - The perfect location for exploring the city, you are right amongst the shops and restaurants. AC was very good and was a nice escape from the hot streets. None
- Janet (10/5): Beautiful B&B , loved our stay - On arrival we couldn’t get over how beautiful this B& B was . This family owned Palazzo has been renovated with the utmost taste , yet the room had every convenience one could want for a comfortable stay . The bed was large and comfortable , and the ceiling of our room was quite stunning . Breakfast was tasteful with a very good selection to choose from . The owners ( such a charming , helpful , kind couple ) served breakfast , and then gave us a little tour of their B& B . On our departure the owner went down in the lift with my husband and our luggage to our waiting taxi . We felt so well looked after. Having stayed in a lot of B&Bs over the years , I would rank this our very best stay . A big thank you to the owners . Your B&B is just so beautiful. We loved our stay in Catania I would have preferred an earlier arrival time
- Valerie (9/5): Great location and lovely, well appointed room - Lovely room, right in the centre of town. Charming staff.
- Claudio (5/5): Not Worth it - The beds are horrible. You have to check in at 4 pm and le ave at 9 am The beds
- Stefan (5/5): Awful - I liked the fact that it was very central as a locations and that it was clean.Also I loved the interiors! I did not like the fact that it has no parking!Absolutely no parking!The rooms that are facing the interior garden..there is no interior garden…It a something between buildings and you can hear from other neighbours when the water from their poop is coming down!Disgusting!Every single time.The breakfast is a joke..there are like 2 rooms..one is a kitchen with some chairs and everyone is squish there!The breakfast has some fruits and croissants and sweets..very simple and poor!The price is very high!I also had a incident staying there!I parked my car just next to the building and it has been robbed letting me without lights..so it was not very nice the zone there!The elevator capacity is very limited so just one person had to go up!
- Diana (9/5): Superb -
- Renukha (10/5): A lovely place in the heart ❤️ of Catania - Ideally located in the Main Street for easy walking access around Catania. Beautifully restored building and rooms with a modern touch. Simple yet sufficient breakfast and friendly staff. We asked for suggestions for places to eat and were given options around a us which we excellent.
- Maria (9/5): Lovely very central place to stay for a night or two and super friendly, good quality and would recommend. - Really nicely design in beautiful old palazzo. Once you get in it’s quite beautiful. Room simple and modern design, stunning restored ceiling feature. Very clean and everything worked seemlessly. The hosts went out of their way to be helpful - family run business and a real joy to stay there. Nothing
- Daniel (10/5): Wonderful place, very comfortable room, good breakfast, amazing hosts. We would book again, no dout about it. -
- Dimitrios (10/5): Exceptional -
- Grace (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sally (10/5): Exceptional -
- Josefine (10/5): Exceptional - Great service, central location, lovely rooms and typical italian breakfast! The elevator is an adventure from another era! Nothing!
- Nino (9/5): Superb -
- Patricia (8/5): Very good -
- Joseph (9/5): Superb - Great location! Martino and wife were very warm and welcoming. Elevator quite old but functional
- Hoi (10/5): Perfect - Amazing hosts! Very helpful and thoughtful. B&B is beautiful, newly renovated but keeping the Sicilian heritage. Location is convenient. Considering there are restricted traffic area in most Italian cities, the location of this bnb is very good with paid parking within 280m. Nothing
- Catherine (9/5): Superb -
- Anita (10/5): Our Stay was exceptional from beginning to end! - Gabriella, the host was amazing- always accessible and accommodating! The accommodations were exceptionally clean, the bathroom was beautifully updated & updated. I would stay here again without hesitation. Can't think of anything that is worth commenting -
- Ivana (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kate (10/5): Wonderful value, lovely, clean, spacious rooms, convenient location and sweet hosts. - Convenient location- beautiful, spacious rooms and a charming entryway. Unfortunately we couldn't stay for breakfast but Martino and Gabriella (father and daughter) were so sweet and tried to offer us at least a coffee but we were in a rush for the airport! We will have to return so we can enjoy one :)
- Jean-lin (10/5): Exceptional - Ideally located in the heart of Catania and all there is to see and do. Beautiful location with spacious, clean and very well appointed rooms. Our 4-night stay was also made perfect by our hosts' welcome, their kindness and their little touches that make you feel at home. (from the balcony, you can see Mount Etna in the distance, which is a nice touch :)
- Amelie (10/5): Amazing! Cannot find a better place to stay! - Amazing stay! The host are so nice, welcoming and attentive to details. The location is amazing, you cannot find a better one, and safer one! The breakfast is delicious, and the decoration and design of the hotel and rooms are fabulous!
- Oscar (8/5): Great place to visit Catania - The property is fantastic. No parking, we had to walk with the baggage. The air conditioner went off over night.
- İlhan (10/5): Exceptional - We had a fantastic stay! Palazzo Costarelli is everything you would expect from a B&B. It is located on the top floor of an apartment building on a main street. You feel safe walking around, especially at night. Despite its central location, noise is not an issue due to limited vehicle traffic. The building looks a bit old with a small old elevator, but the B&B itself is newly renovated. The rooms have high ceilings, very good lighting, comfortable beds and the bathroom’s infrastructure is good. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They were even very kind to provide gluten-free and vegan options for the breakfast upon our request. I would definitely recommend this place and would be happy to stay again!
- Claire (8/5): Very good -
- Basil (10/5): Stunning. Highly recommend. -
- Hanra (10/5): Excellent, clean, simple and comfortable - I stayed at the hotel for one night before my flight. Everyone was super helpful - despite not being on site. The room was lovely, clean and the most comfortable bed and pillows I have ever slept on.
- Dan (10/5): Fantastic - Cleanness & silence. Best attitude possible. Thank you!
- Ekaterina (10/5): Exceptional -
- Angelica (10/5): Palazzo Costarelli is the perfect place to stay in Catania! Bedrooms are beautiful, with high ceilings, new forniture an - Location (super central), clean and beautiful bedrooms, lovely staff. Nothing, everything was great!
- Defne (10/5): Exceptional - The hotel has a very good location, close to city center and right across the street is the bus station to the airport. The hotel and rooms are very clean and beautiful with high ceilings. Breakfast is also good and enough. Stuff is very helpfull and friendly. We definitely enjoyed our stay. Thank you.
- Rahul (10/5): We had a wonderful time in Catania and our six nights stay at Palazzo Costarelli. - It was a beautifully restored apartment in a historical building with high ceilings that were beautifully painted. The location was just amazing. It was centrally located. Walking distance from all the sites to see in the centre of the city. The room we booked was large with enough closet space required by my wife and I. Bathroom was large and spacious. Our room was made up everyday upon return. We did a day trip to Malta during our stay. The bus stop of the “Ali Bus” airport shuttle we took to the airport and back was right across from our Airbnb location which was great. Last but not least, our host Martino was wonderful. My wife and I are grateful for all his and his family member’s hospitality. We look forward to staying at Palazzo Costarelli again on our next visit to Catania. Everything was fine during our six nights stay.
- Etienne (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ksenia (10/5): Lovely B&B, traditional yet modern! - Everything about this B&B is just beautiful! There is an elevator, so you can comfortably get upstairs with your luggage. The room is spacious, decorated with consideration to the history of the building, at the same time, the bathroom is very comfortable and contemporary. I most loved the historical ceiling and the window and balcony with Etna view. The owners family were very responsive and helpful. Recommended! It’s best to arrive with a taxi, because the entrance to the building is located on a street with limited car access. It would also be great to have a bottle opener in the property (usually in Italy you’ll find it everywhere), however I easily managed to find one in a supermarket nearby.
- Charlotte (10/5): Perfect place to stay in Catania. - Beautiful and comfortable with lovely hosts. Too much new technology! Makes life easy but I prefer human contact.
- Tarek (9/5): Superb - Great property. Central location. Clean and spacious room. Attention to details. USB plugs... Breakfast can be better. Add more towels.
- Ece (10/5): Everything went amazing. Mr Costarelli is such a gentleman and they do their best to make everyone comfortable - Very clean, very good staff The building is old, but this place is the best you can stay in cataina
- Willem (10/5): Great place, new and extremely comfortable. - Location A1, 20 minutes walk from Rail Way Station. Helpful host. Good Breakfast
- Ellen (10/5): AMAZING - Amazing B&B in the heart of Catania. The room was big, bright and all we needed for our stay in Catania. The hosts were super friendly and gave some really nice tips for restaurants. We would definitely recommend this place!
- Lisa (10/5): A beautiful rooom. Comfortable bedding, convenient location, and clean and fresh. - Very convenient location, and the Alibus (airport shuttle bus) was just across the street. The room was quiet and the bed was very comfortable, so we slept well. The room has a beautiful feel to it, renovated like new but maintaining the gorgeous old style of the building. It was fresh and clean. Good spacious shower. The breakfast provided was simple and sufficient to start the day. The ladies in the kitchen, and Gabriella were very kind and helpful. Gabriella was available to contact with any questions during our stay, and ensured we had a good experience staying in this beautiful bed & breakfast. There wasn't anything we didn't like
- Pablo (8/5): Careful with the bed headboards if traveling with toddlers! - The interior of the palazzo is stunning. Recently renovated and with great taste. The rooms are beautiful and comfy. The host and all the staff were super friendly and helpful. The entrance to the building is in bad shape desperately needing renovation. Is quite dirty and there are a lot of exposed electrical panels with suspect looking wiring all around the foyer as you walk in. Breakfast was very limited. Mostly just coffee, croissants, a bit of fruit and little else. No eggs or anything of substance. We only got ham and cheese the 2nd day, not the first. We had an issue one night with the bed. Basically we were traveling with our 1 yr old toddler who decided she wouldn't sleep in her cot and so we had to bring her to sleep on the bed with us as we do often at home. Then in the middle of the night I woke up hearing her cry only to find her stuck upside down in a gap between the mattress and the headboard all the way down to her waist, with just her legs up in the air. We luckily found her in time and helped her out without her getting hurt (god knows what could've happened if I didn't hear her in time), but obviously that was super scary and we couldn't sleep the rest of the night as we were afraid it could happen again. To me it looks like the problem is in the design of the beds since it has an empty space beneath the headboard and the headboard is made of soft cushions, and obviously this isn't an issue for adults, just be careful if you're planning to let any toddlers sleep on those beds.
- Bora (10/5): Great location, clean and special family owned property. - The property overall has a fantastic location! It’s in the center of Catania but the street is very quiet during the night because cars are not allowed. Windows are also new which makes noise acoustically isolated. The balcony is a great space (Etna Mountain view) to drink the first expresso of the day, which the property kindly offers by providing an expresso machine in the room. We traveled with our toddler and we were kindly provided a kids chair, a potty booster and kids cup. We really felt calm and welcomed with our kid. The room was fantastic, with a great ceiling to wake up with! Stylish and well thought out. Clean and suitable for a family. The breakfast, was a great start to our day with Iaia being there to make it even better. Iaia and her husband, their nephew and niece were one of the main reasons our trip was one to be remembered. Parking was easily manageable, public parking just 2 minutes away (use app for payment)and when dropping our luggage we could use a secondary road which was the back road or during the day parking temporarily in front of the entrance.
- Alen (10/5): Unique and beautiful accommodation with wonderful hosts - A perfect place to explore Catania and area.. Great position in the town center
