• Simone (10/5): - Wir waren rundum zufrieden mit unserem Aufenthalt bei Alberto. Er ist ein außergewöhnlich herzlicher und aufmerksamer Gastgeber, der sich hervorragend um seine Gäste kümmert. Schon bei unserer Ankunft hat er uns mit einer kostenlosen Flasche Wein begrüßt – eine sehr nette Geste. Während unseres gesamten Aufenthalts war Alberto jederzeit erreichbar, hilfsbereit und hat uns mit wertvollen Tipps unterstützt. Man merkt, dass ihm das Wohl seiner Gäste wirklich am Herzen liegt. Die Lage des B&B ist hervorragend und ideal, um Catania zu erkunden. Alles Wichtige ist gut erreichbar, sodass wir unseren Aufenthalt in vollen Zügen genießen konnten. Wir haben uns von Anfang bis Ende sehr wohlgefühlt und können diese Unterkunft uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen. Vielen Dank, Alberto, für die wunderbare Gastfreundschaft! Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
• Sally-ann (10/5): Lovely, property , beautiful view from balcony . Lovely breakfast included . Fabulous Host , Alberto . - Lovely property & great host , Alberto . We thoroughly enjoyed our stay , lovely room , very clean , great location . Nice touch of a lovely bottle of red wine in our room on our last night . Highly recommend ! 🤩 Nothing
• Katie (4/5): This is less of a B&B and more of an apartment turned rental. More of a hostel. - The air conditioning worked well and the host communicated a lot with us (although most of the time he told us how great his place was and how he relies on the income for his family.) The room was a decent size. Great location and nice balcony. This was a disappointing stay. We arrived after hours and had to access the building on our own. There were no lights anywhere and the people in the restaurant had to help us figure out where to go. The "breakfast" was a 3.5 euro coupon for the cafe across the street. This is a "no paper" in the toilet place, but there was NO LID on the trash can AND the shower still backed up with gross crap. (And the shower was pretty moldy dirty.) The proprietor was very responsive in fixing the problem and gave us a lovely bottle of wine. But still. Yuck.
• Granvillano (10/5): - L’accoglienza incantevole, l’affaccio sulla piazza bellissimo , la cortesia di una bottiglia di vino siciliano in dono.
• Brigitte (7/5): -
• Andrew (7/5): Self-service. contact via WhatsApp. Kind of spooky. -
• MARIE NOELLE (10/5): Parfait pour partir à la découverte de Catane. - Hôte très attentionné, aux petits soins. La chambre est très agréable, dans un état impeccable, les plus : terrasse donnant sur une superbe place dans le centre historique et qualité de la literie.
• Julie (10/5): Excellent stay superb location and wonderful host Alberto - Location was excellent room very comfortable and the host Alberto went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable and enjoyable Nothing
• Alejandra (10/5): Excelente elección - Alberto un anfitrión de lujo. Siempre atento y respondiendo al instante todas las inquietudes. Nos recomendó unos restaurantes para cenar y fueron excelentes! La última noche nos sorprendió con un vino siciliano de regalo en la habitación! Excelente gesto, lo disfrutamos en el bacon con vistas al Teatro de Catania. Inolvidable Cómo sugerencia agregar soporte para jabón y de champú en la ducha.
• Arthur (9/5): - La localisation est centrale et belle. Rien
• Marina (9/5): -
• Alex (10/5): -
• Harald (10/5): Excellent option for couples. - The hospitality and follow-up when we arrived! Great service. There is nothing not to like. In the heart of Catania, great host and excellent breakfast in the plaza - across from Massimo Bellini!
• Alex (10/5): Perfection - Amazing location and lovely host! N/A
• Giovanna (10/5): Chambre confortable avec vue magnifique - L’emplacement et le calme en plein centre et particulièrement l’accueil et la disponibilité d’Alberto
• M Ángeles (10/5): Fantastica estancia - La ubicación y la comodidad Nada
• Franca (10/5): Una camera panoramica nel cuora di Catania - Posizione centrale, camera silenziosa e letto comodo. Super accogliente il proprietario che ci ha dato la disponibilità della camera molto prima dell’orario previsto per il check-in. Gradita la bottiglia di vino e due bottigliette d’acqua.
• Arnaud (10/5): L’emplacement était idéal pour découvrir catane. Et l’hôte a été aux petits soins nous mettant en disposition la chambre - La localisation L’hôte qui nous a accueilli tôt Rien
• Jonathan (10/5): -
• Lynda (10/5): Great B&B - We loved everything. Location was great. Alberto was amazing with communicating with us. Alberto went above and beyond our expectations. Thank you Alberto. There was nothing to dislike. Everything was amazing.
• Nadene (10/5): Perfect - Our host was so kind and considerate. Our room was beautiful and we were treated like friends. The bathroom had a fabulous shower and the bed was super comfortable
• Elisabeth (10/5): Gemütliches B&B, sehr zentral und ruhig gelegen, tolle persönliche Betreuung durch Alberto - Das kleine, gemütliche B&B befindet sich im 4. Stock in perfekter zentraler und doch ruhiger Lage mit tollem Ausblick auf die Piazza Bellini. Der Dom ist wenige Gehminuten entfernt. Ich hatte ein Zimmer mit schönem Blick auf den Dom von meinem blumengeschmückten Balkon, sehr ruhig gelegen. Der Gastgeber Alberto war sehr hilfsbereit, herzlich und jederzeit erreichbar. Ich habe mich sehr wohlgefühlt und komme jederzeit gerne wieder.
• Dominik (10/5): Perfekt für einen Kurztrip - Wahnsinnig gute Lage, sehr netter Gastgeber und schöner Balkon.
• Amanda (10/5): An apartment / B&B with a great location and view over the square. - The view over the square and the Bellini theatre is just so special. It gets the morning sun and also in the evening. We didn’t actually meet Alberto but he was incredibly helpful and always on hand if you needed anything. He kindly got the apartment ready for our early arrival at no extra charge and even gave us a bottle of complimentary wine. A couple of small bottles of water are provided daily. The room is quite basic but clean and tidy (and has cleaning daily) and it has been thought about very well and has everything you need - including a full length mirror ladies 😜but the location and balcony make it even more special. There is also a room next door which is a common room for tea / coffee making ( a kettle and fridge are is also in your own room) and this also has a lovely balcony to sit out on. A breakfast voucher for a coffee and pastry is a really nice touch. All in all we would definitely stay again and thank you Alberto for being so attentive and helpful Nothing
• Sara (10/5): Tolle Unterkunft in bester Lage. - Die Lage war fantastisch. Vom Balkon aus konnten wir auf das schöne Teatro Massimo Bellini schauen. Zu Fuß konnten wir die Innenstadt wunderbar erkunden. Das Zimmer war sehr sauber und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Ein kostenloses kleines, aber sehr leckeres Frühstück, gab es gegenüber im Caffe Opera. Wir haben dort sehr gemütlich und ruhig mit Blick auf die Oper gesessen. Alberto war immer sehr gut erreichbar, hat uns Tipps gegeben und uns einen wunderbaren überdachten Parkplatz ganz in der Nähe empfohlen. Er hat uns mit einer kostenlosen Flasche Wein und Wasserflaschen überrascht. Angenehm war auch der Aufzug im Haus. Wir kommen gerne wieder!
• Mikolaj (10/5): Pobyt w B&B il Sovrano był strzałem w dziesiątkę. To idealna baza wypadowa dla każdego, kto chce poczuć klimat miast - Świetne B&B! Genialna lokalizacja (wszędzie blisko!), w środku czyściutko i przyjemnie. Właściciel bardzo uprzejmy i pomocny, dba o gości na każdym kroku. Jeśli szukasz noclegu w Katanii, to il Sovrano jest najlepszym wyborem.
• Victoria (10/5): Special wonderful great place to stay - Alberto was a wonderful host. He went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, and all of our knees were met. The room was very clean. The bed was exceptional. The view was wonderful. We were surrounded by history as well as easy access to lovely restaurants, shops, and places of interest we would highly recommend his place. All good
• Elena (10/5): - Alt var rigtig god! Placering i centrum ved udsigten til Bellini teater og torvet. Ingen trafik. Rigtig godt nyrenoveret værelse med altanen. Godt seng og god madras. Toilet artikler. Tidligt indtjekning. Vært Alberto er meget imødekommende, kom med det samme lige jeg har kontaktet ham og sagt at vi er kommet. Drikke vand på værelse og en flaske rigtig god italiensk rødvin. Bagageopbevaring til kl. 17.30 gratis. Elkedel på værelset. Kaffemaskinen på fælles område. Alt var perfekt. Intet negativt.
• Katie (10/5): Lovely stay. Ideal location. Every need met. So happy - Catania is a beautiful city. Really enjoyed our stay at Il Sovrano. Antonio puts so much care into the hotel and that extends to his guests. Perfect stay. It was fantastic!
• Corinna (10/5): Lage perfekt, um Catania zu entdecken. - Die Lage von Il Sovrano ist perfekt für einen Kurzaufenthalt, um Catania zu entdecken. Es ist alles in Laufnähe. Alberto hat auf alle Anfragen sofort reagiert und gab Empfehlungen wo man gut Essen kann. .
• Becky (10/5): I’m not surprised this place has such great reviews, it is worth every penny. We highly recommended it! - The rooms were in a wonderful location with fabulous views. I was impressed with how quiet it was at night. Breakfast was wonderful and our host was always helpful. He met us at the door, helped with luggage, and even let us store our luggage to explore the city before our train ride. We loved everything about our stay.
• Peter (10/5): Tutto Perfetto - Zentral gelegen, sauber und freundlicher Kontakt

• Patti (10/5): Fantastic location at Piazza Bellini in the historic area of Catania - Alberto is a friendly, welcoming host. He was there to greet us and orient us to the property. He always responded immediately when we messaged with questions or requests. The room was very clean with a modern bathroom. The location at Piazza Bellini was fantastic, within walking distance to restaurants and local tours. It was lovely sitting out on the little terrace looking over the Piazza.
• Michael Canova Engelbrecht (8/5): -
• Anton Helmut (10/5): Extraordinary accomodation in the heart of Catania - Eine außergewöhnliche Unterkunft im Zentrum von Catania und ein sehr freundlicher Gastgeber mit vielen hilfreichen Tipps hat uns den Aufenthalt unvergesslich gemacht! Danke Alberto für Deine Gastfreundschaft!
• Kristīne B.G. (10/5): - Ļoti laba vieta pašā Katānijas centrā, numuriņš tīrs ar skaistu skatu uz laukumu, kur apkārt foršas kafejnīcas. Noteikti iesakam!
• Cheryl (10/5): Great stay wonderful host - Location
• Anna (10/5): Niesamowity widok z balkonu! - Powiem tak, apartament nie ma nic wspólnego z luksusem, co nie oznacza że nie był on całkiem w porządku. Było czysto i dosyć komfortowo. Prawdziwym luksusem był widok z balkonu na starą ulicę i przepiękny plac! Na prawdę - niesamowicie! Właściciel (lub menadżer) Alberto był bardzo miły i pomocny. Dostaliśmy w prezencie butelkę wina, co było bardzo miło z jego strony:) Lokalizacja apartamentu - 10/10, w samym centrum turystycznej części Katanii Oferowane śniadania - to bon do jednej z najbliższych kawiarni, gdzie były do wyboru pyszne wypieki na słono i na słodko i bardzo dobra kawa Ogólnie polecam ten apartament, tylko z góry trzeba sobie zdawać sprawę że nie jest to żaden luksus. Ale uważam że ten widok z balkonu rekompensuje to wszystko!
• Alison (10/5): Great One Night Stay - Alberto’s B&B was amazing. Clean, in a great section of town. Amazing restaurants. San Beriville was lots of fun and just aroumd the corner. We only had one night before our flight to Malta, but we did a lot. Alberto was very accommodating. We highly recommend.
• Ana (10/5): Ubicación y atención maravillosas - Bien situado, muy limpio y renovado. Alberto, el anfitrión estuvo pendiente en todo momento de nuestras necesidades. Nos ayudó a encontrar parking y siempre nos ayudó con todo lo que necesitamos. Lo recomiendo Nada
• Alvaro (9/5): - Chambre avec jacuzzi confortable, très bonne localisation, Alberto a été très disponible à distance pour notre arrivée avec en plus quelques attentions (bouteilles d'eau, vin). Propreté nickel. Trop nombreux moustiques alors que nous étions en hiver. Petit déjeuner léger à l'extérieur.
• ANN (7/5): We were not disappointed in our choice. - Breakfast was offered in a cafe opposite near the opera house. Simple but very enjoyable & we enjoyed dining with the locals. There was a minor housekeeping issue, but the owner sorted it very efficiently & quickly. There is a lift which would not suit a claustrophobic guest, but we enjoyed as it is in keeping with the historic building, which has amazing views over the square. A quiet corner in a busy city.
• David (10/5): Excellent location close to main city - Very clean with balcony overlooking Bellini opera house and Alberto was an excellent host who was always happy to give advise and recommendations
• Owen (5/5): Not worth the money. - Great location. Friendly and helpful host. Way too expensive for what it was. Overpriced. The room had paper cups. There were tons of mosquitoes even in December and everyone got multiple mosquito bites on the face and couldn’t sleep.
• Julia (9/5): - Najlepsza lokalizacja w Katanii! Śniadanie w knajpie na głównym placu w cenie. Bardzo pomocna obsługa. Wystrój trochę przytłaczający.
• Haddad (10/5): What a joy to discover this amazing little jewel in the heart of Catania! Exceptional stay that made our visit that much - Such an amazing stay! Central,clean, beautiful view and super kind and efficient host.
• Haddad (10/5): Amazing! - Everything
• Celaine (9/5): -
• Nancy (10/5): Nice stay. Host was very helpful with a problem we had operating the heating system (very good in Catania). - The location was great. Four blocks to the Duomo, many cafes and restaurants with a block, one block to the airport bus (Alibys). Has an elevator. Nicely done bathrooms. Breakfast at closeby cafe was minimal - a pastry and and coffee.
• Chaoli (8/5): 老闆Roberto人非常風趣樂於助人，又獲贈紅酒，開心了 - 房間整齊明亮乾淨，陽台和景觀非常的棒，對於喜歡歌劇院的人更是最好的選擇 地面和入口內有點太暗，氣氛太沉重
• Betty (10/5): Wonderful stay in Catania - Wonderful location with balcony overlooking a beautiful piazza where the opera house is located. Rooms had a lift available. We were greeted by the owner and shown the room. There was a great bottle of Sicilian wine which we enjoyed on the balcony. Several restaurants were within short walking distance from property.
• Diana (10/5): - Primero la atención de Alberto, excelente!!! Muy amable, nos recibió antes de la hora del checking, muy buena disposición! La ubicación, la limpieza y muy cómoda la habitación!!!
• Izumi (10/5): -
• MARILIA (10/5): Fantástico - Excelente localização. Estacionamento pago bem próximo à propriedade. Prédio com elevador. Quarto muito confortável. Ótimo banheiro com excelente chuveiro. Café da manhã satisfatório, num café quase em frente à hospedadem. Tudo excelente
• Beverly (10/5): we had a lovely stay at Il Sovrano in a magnificent location with easy access to everything! - Location and wonderful host
• Paula (7/5): - Location Condencending attitude
• Stephen (10/5): Best balcony in Catania! - We loved our stay here, everything was perfect. The location on Piazza Bellini was the best in town, close to eveything with so many great restaurants and bars nearby, and the balcony overlooking the square was incredible. The room was really comfortable with a great shower, and Alberto was the best host. He met us to let us in, left a lovely bottle of wine for us, and there was some great coffee for the morning, with a nice breakfast at Caffè Opera across the square. 100% recommended, and we will be back. Grazie Alberto! Nothing, everything was great
• Anmaree (10/5): Wine,coffee and terrific communication all the way.Highly recommend - Fab location and beautiful room
• Susan (10/5): Only stayed one night.it was a pleasant stopover before flight - Superb position. Brilliant bed and, although, I didn’t see any staff, owner was always on hand on w app. Even arranged taxi to airport. Nothing. You couldn’t get more central in Catania.
• Gaetane (10/5): Fantastique! - Notre hôte Alberto a été fantastique! Communication très facile avant et pendant le séjour, beaucoup d’aide et de conseils pour passer des vacances parfaites. N’hésitez pas à lui demander de bonnes adresses de restaurants! La chambre est idéalement placée pour profiter de Catane, et située sur une place absolument splendide. Grazie mille 🩷
• Roger Lambert (9/5): It was very pleasant - Alberto was really super helpful and views and location were amazing. Nothing bad to say… Only stayed one night.
• Arjan (10/5): Geweldig plek in hartje Catania - Zeer aardige gastheer, wijntje bij aankomst, heerlijk op gedronken op het balkon met uitzicht op het theater. We moesten de volgende dag vroeg weg maar we konden om 7 uur al bij de bar op het plein terecht voor een Italiaans ontbijt.
• Dale Crook (5/5): - The location is excellent but we rate our stays as is this place a 'go back' and sorry to say this one was not. Read below We had two different rooms - the first one looking out on the piazza was the better room. Neither room worked well with two medium size luggage - just not enough room. No safe. We didn't see at first, the notice that all toilet paper 'needs' go in the waste basket - 'do not flush it down the commode'. In both rooms the shower drain backed up and the owner said that even a little toilet paper in the commode would back the drain up. The shower flooded the bathroom and part of the bedroom. This seems like a drainage problem - not an occupant problem. There were ants in the second room that i was able to keep under control and maybe this comes with an old building. Not a 'go back' for us.
• Carla (8/5): Nice, a few small fixes and it would be wonderful! - Location was good, host was very enthusiastic, loves hosting and wants comfort for guests. Communication was very good, and we were able to drop luggage and start touring prior to check in.It was so nice that a lovely bottle of wine was left for us on the last night and we appreciated all the restaurant suggestions. Bed was comfortable and was very clean. Maybe better lighting in the bathroom, and some hooks for towels. The soaps were not adequate and maybe a bigger soap bar would help. Excessive overhead lighting, the lights should be on dimmers. Real glasses, not paper cups in the room. A more substantial breakfast should be offered for this rate charged.
• Jill (9/5): - The view and the calm Twin beds instead of a big bed
• Susan (9/5): -
• JEAN PIERRE (9/5): - Tout proche de l’opéra, Belle Chambre un peu juste en dimension car équipée d’une grande baignoire circulaire Grande difficulté de parking
• Mika (10/5): Hearty recommendation - A wonderful place to stay in central Catania. Our room had a balcony to beautiful Piazza Bellini and was cozy, clean and quiet. Alberto was a very accommodating host - communicating with him was easy. And he even offered a bottle of red wine for our last night.
• Wolfgang (10/5): Wunderbarer Aufenthalt mit perfektem Service und toller Lage - Tolle Lage, herrlicher Balkon, und Alberto war sehr hilfreich u.a. bei der Buchung Ätnatour und sonstigen Infos über Catania. Dazu gab es noch Wein dazu als Überraschung, toll! -
• Linda (9/5): -
• Anthonius (8/5): Nice B&B at a great spot - This is a nice B&B at a wonderful spot with a perfect view of Piazza Bellini. The room is (overall) clean but needs some renovation in the bathroom. The bathroom was pretty small as was the room (but of course we knew that from the description). AliBus is around the corner so going to the airport is easy. The owner is very (!) insistent in requiring good reviews on booking, which felt inappropriate and uncomfortable. The breakfast is in the nearby (and very good) Café Opera but is limited to a coffee and a roll.
• jfheard (9/5): - Our room was simply furnished but very comfortable: the bed was fantastic, the shower (water pressure and temperature) was perfect, the bathroom new and modern, the air conditioning effective and quiet, and that balcony view...stunning. The square outside stays very busy with revellers till late at night, and hearing all that noise and chatter was charming, but closing the double-glazed balcony doors was very effective at blocking out the sound when we wanted to sleep.The presence of a small elevator was a God-send too, and breakfast vouchers for the local caffe on the piazza (included in the price of the room) was actually a nice touch. But most of all, Alberto was EXTREMELY generous and accommodating. Thank you Alberto!
• Laura (10/5): Amazing stay in Catania at Alberto’s property. 10/10. Great location and beautiful room. - Everything was exceptional. Alberto was extremely helpful with anything we needed for our stay in Catania, from assisting us with a car park to offering early check in as he knew we were arriving earlier than expected. The property itself is wonderful and we were very comfortable the entire time. 10/10. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend this property to family and friends.
• Arthur (10/5): Alberto made every effort to welcome us and to make us feel comfortable and at home. He checked a number of times that w - Beautiful location, marvellous view of the piazza from the balcony, spacious and airy rooms, clean and tidy, quiet at night. Nothing.
• michael (10/5): - Alberto kümmert sich rührend um seine Gäste!!!!
• Angela (10/5): Maravilhoso! Recomendo. - Da localização, do quarto, da vista, da cordialidade de Alberto. Tudo perfeito.
• Bill (10/5): Book the hot tub room. - The location was fantastic, with an amazing view into the Bellini Piazza and the baroque architecture of the Bellini Teatro. The apartment building was very Italian, very real, complete with a narrow, clunky elevator, similar to a friend’s apartment in downtown Rome. And it sure is nice if you book the room with the hot tub, as we did. Parking is a pain but you’ve got to expect that f you stay in a city centre. We didn’t stress about it and just paid 20 Euro a night at a parade nearby. So include that in your budget.
• Marco (8/5): - La situation le seul point très positif. Chambre et salle de bain très petit
• Joe (10/5): -
• Helen (10/5): Fantastic location and friendly host - The location is perfect and we could walk everywhere. Our room with balcony overlooked The square which was beautiful and surprisingly quiet at night. Our host was very helpful and always there if we needed anything. We loved the cafe vouchers for breakfast. It was a great place to stay and if we are in Catania again we would definitely stay here again. Fabulous
• Anna (8/5): -

• Dale (5/5): Ok stay - Location is great - owner was responsive - first night we had a nice room but had to change rooms Second room wasn’t nearly as nice - no safe - shower flooded each time. Owner said even a small amount of toilet paper will slow drain even shower drain. Have to put toilet paper into basket. AC didn’t work great in 2nd room. No bedside lights- has great potential but needs some work
