Guest Reviews
- Angela (10/5): - The location is perfect, and despite being so close to the center, it’s very quiet inside. The rooms are beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. The hosts are communicative, helpful and very kind. I would happily stay here again!
- Geneviève (10/5): -
- Michael (9/5): - Die Unterkunft ist sehr zentral, am Rande des Stadtzentrums gelegen. Alle Sehenswürdigkeiten können von hier aus gut erreicht werden.
Das Zimmer ist super groß. Es gibt ein Aufzug. Dieser wird auch benötigt, das B & B ist im dritten Stock gelegen. In der Wohnung selbst teilweise Stuffenversatz.
Kommunikation mit der Inhaberin super einfach. Auf Wünsche wird eingegangen. Es gibt Tips für die Stadttour und Restaurants. Auf jeden Fall für 10 Euro das Frühstück buchen. Sehr reichlich und selbst gemacht zum Teil.
Parken ist direkt an der angrenzenden Straße mit der Easy Park App möglich. 5 Euro für 2 Tage. Matratze relativ weich. Die Duscharmatur könnte Mal erneuert werden.
Umgeben von zwei Straßen jedoch etwas lauter, vor allem bei geöffnetem Fenster.
- carlo (10/5): Tutto perfetto -
- B (10/5): Cortesia e tranquillità - B&B tranquillo, grazioso, pulito e ben organizzato.
La proprietaria super cortese e disponibile per qualsiasi necessità.
Il terrazzino un amore e ben curato.
Consigliatissimo!
- Bruno (10/5): Siamo stati accolti in maniera impeccabile, la camera era pulita e dotata di ogni confort. La posizione della struttura - Posizione centralissima, accoglienza, pulizia della camera. La vicinanza a supermercati, ristoranti, parcheggi ecc ecc
- Erika (8/5): - Stanza accogliente e ben pulita. Posizione eccellente e host gentile e disponibile.
- Marian (9/5): -
- Katarzyna (9/5): - Miejsce poleciły nam koleżanki: "Zaczynając przygodę z Katanią, musicie spać u Loredany!" I tak się stało. Cudowna, przesympatyczna osoba. Bardzo pomocny personel przy check in, będący w stałym kontakcie nawet późno wieczorem.
- Christine (8/5): -
- Daniel (7/5): We had again very good time in Catania and plan to repeat it soon again. - The property is in an interesting location, and the manager is easy to reach, even late at night. The room was very clean and had a small balcony. The walls were like cardboard and offered no privacy at all. You could practically hear every conversation from the neighboring rooms right next door. The kettle and the fridge had to be used alternately because there were not enough power outlets. To top it off, check-out was set as early as 10:30 a.m., with no possibility of extending it even by 30 minutes.
- Alessio (10/5): -
- simone (10/5): Sofort gerne wieder! - Super zentral, wunderschöner Palazzo
- Marianna (10/5): -
- Matteo (10/5): - Tutto
- Piotr (9/5): -
- gali (9/5): היה מעולה, המארחת היתה מקסימה ומאוד נהננו - המארחת בנדיטה היתה מדהימה, זמינה תמיד בוואטסאפ, נתנה לנו המלצות ועזרה לנו בכל מה שצריך! חוץ מזה החדר וכל המקום היה מאוד נקי, היתה ארוחת בוקר נחמד והמיקום נחמד ונעים, קרוב להרבה אטרקציות מרכזיות בעיר. ספציפית החדר שקיבלנו היה קצת חשוך, אבל נראה שיש חדרים אחרים על הרבה אור, אולי שווה לבקש למי שחשוב לו.
- Luca (9/5): -
- Zuliani (10/5): - Camera comoda e pulita, in un bel palazzo storico, in una pozione centrale, con negozi a due passi, struttura ben attrezzata, host sempre a disposizione.
Note negative nessuna.
- Linda (7/5): - Friendly staff
Parking was easy A little noisy from the floor at night…
Dark room
- Mats (10/5): Nära händelsecentrum till bra pris. - Det ligger väldigt nära centrumgatan Via Etna med sina mat och bargator, utgrävningar å katedraler.
Trevlig personal som ordnar det bra för dig.
- Bahar Alicja (10/5): -
- Lina (8/5): Good location, good service - Clean, well organize, good location The access is only by stairs, old buildings
- Guest (7/5): Loredana was the perfect host and very helpful. - Location is perfect. Did not use the breakfast room. Room was basic but very clean. The lift is dodgy and that there are quite a few stairs
- Alessandro (10/5): Eccezionale - Zona strategica, host gentilissimo.
- Salvatore Frisella (9/5): - Posizione centrale. Le torte a colazione sono veramente buonissime!!!
- Maja (9/5): -
- Alice (10/5): - La proximité de centre ville .
Le personnel très accueillant.
- Anna (10/5): - Les chambres sont spacieuses et très propres. La terrasse est agréable. La localisation est super. L'extérieur du bâtiment est très beau. Le personnel a été très réactif et aidant même lorsque nous avons eu un problème assez tard le soir.
- Guillaume (9/5): - Situation parfait pour visiter Catane.
- Alessandra (8/5): Catania nel cuore - Posizione straordinaria Rumore
- Saskia (9/5): - Freundlichkeit und wie die anderen Bewertungen - positiv!
- Jan (10/5): Amazing stay and a welcoming host! - The communication with the host was great (Whatsapp/phonecall) and she was extremely welcoming and helpful. It really made the experience much better. Cozy and quiet room, delicious Italian breakfast! There is road parking available for a reasonable price. Right on the other side of the road, there is lovely cafe/bar. Amazing desserts for small money. There is also a grocery store right around the corner! Really great location.
- Anja (10/5): Super Service und tolle Lage - Sehr zuvorkommend. Mir wurden auf Nachfrage vegane Alternativen zum Frühstück angeboten. Die Terasse hat eine tolle Aussicht. Die direkte Nähe zum Park mit Spielplatz war für uns als Familie super. Das Zimmer war groß und schön eingerichtet. Bad war klein, aber ausreichend. Für Geräuschempfindliche empfehle ich Oropax wegen der Straße und der Tatsache, dass alle Zimmer auf einem Flur sind und deswegen jeder Gast dort vorbei geht.
- Magdalena (9/5): Alles wunderbar, wir würden wieder buchen - Das Zimmer war tiptop sauber und das Bett sehr bequem. Die Doppelfenster haben ihren Zweck erfüllt: trotz top Lage im Zentrum war es total ruhig und wir konnten wunderbar schlafen. Loredana, die Gastgeberin ist einfach umwerfend und hat sich sehr gekümmert 🩷 Die Matratzen der beiden Einzelbetten sind nicht so wahnsinnig bequem, aber für uns kein Problem - wir hatten auch zu dritt (mit Baby) Platz im großen Bett
- Giuseppe (8/5): -
- Hanne (10/5): - insbesondere die Padrona sowie Bernadetta waren super nett und haben uns unterstützt bei Planung, wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt. Man muss unbedingt vorher Bescheid sagen , wenn man bei der Anreise vor der Tür steht, damit einem mit dem Aufzug geholfen werden kann - Frühstück war Liebevoll gerichtet
- Aidil Fahmy (9/5): It was a great stay for our small family if three. A nice building, but need a bit of cardio to get to the room. However - Good location. There is a super market and tabacchi nearby. Hard to get a parking spot
- John (8/5): - Staff was amazing. Room was fine. Lived the outdoor breakfast area.
Building entrance and front was old, dirty and under construction.
- aggcee (9/5): -
- philippe (9/5): - Tout super Rient
- Giusi (9/5): -
- Kelley (8/5): Nice stay. - We were able to check in a bit early, which was great. The coffee shop across the street was excellent for morning cappuccino and evening gelato. We stayed just one night, so it was easy to find and great location next to a lovely park. The bed was a bit too firm for my husband, but great for me.
- Ann (9/5): Beautiful comfortable room in an antique building - The staff were lovely and sorted any concerns out quickly and efficiently. The room was beautiful and well positioned. The terrace was a wonderful
Place to sit in the shade after a busy day seeing the sights. There is a pleasant and friendly Patisserie/cafe opposite the building and the park over the road felt safe to walk through, even at dusk. Not sure
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Bizi karşılayan kişi son derece sıcakkanlı ve yardımcıydı. Mutfağı ve terası rahattı. Biz kahvaltısı olmadığını fark etmeden rezervasyon yapmışız. Bu tür tüm konaklamalarızda bu fiyat bandında kahvaltı oluyordu, bu çok hoşumuza gitmedi. Kaldığımız odada tuvalet odanın içine sonradan eklenmiş ve tavanı odaya açılacak şekildeyi, bir kabin gibi yani. 2 kişi seyahat ederlen bu çok hoşumuza gitmedi.
- Flavia (9/5): -
- Donatella (5/5): - La posizione Le scale per raggiungere le camere. L’aria condizionata direzionata sul letto ed il gradino all’interno del bagno.
- Marilena (5/5): Knapp genügend - Lage Preis-Leistung, Austattung, Kommunikation
- Evangelisti (8/5): -
- Fabio (7/5): - Struttura posta al secondo piano di un antico stabile, purtroppo senza ascensore, con androne di accesso buio ed angusto. Camera curata e spaziosa con tutto il necessario per soggiornare comodamente qualche giorno.
Ottima posizione a 2 passi dalla famosa Villa Bellini e dal centro storico di Catania.
- Valentina (6/5): - Tra le ragioni per cui avevo scelto la struttura vi era anche e soprattutto quella legata alle recensioni lasciate con riguardo ad una abbondante buona, genuina colazione preparata a cura della proprietaria del B&B. Niente di tutto questo. Al nostro risveglio ci siamo svegliati trovando un banco vuoto, non era possibile nemmeno fare un tè o un caffè. La macchinetta c’era ma mancavano cialde e infusi.
Davanti alle nostre osservazioni, ci è stato risposto che l’importo da noi pagato non prevedeva questa possibilità. Premesso che abbiamo pagato a questo punto una cifra sproporzionata rispetto ad un b&b posto ad un piano faticosamente da raggiungere stante l’assenza dell’ascensore, privo di particolari servizi confort, ma soprattutto mi sono chiesta come mai a questo punto tutti gli ospiti presenti nella struttura siamo caduti nella stesso equivoco?davvero ne’ noi ne’ gli amici con cui eravamo ci siamo accorti che avevamo pagato un b&b senza colazione? Ed inoltre.. perché si chiama “breakfast “?
- Adrian (9/5): -
- sebastiano (9/5): Molto bene da ritornare - Molto ben curata - Ingresso alla struttura i. Rifacimento
- Alex (10/5): Ottima posizione, bella struttura - Ottima posizione, sia per concerti a Villa Bellini, giusto a qualche minuto a piedi di distanza, sia per visitare il centro di Catania.
Abitazione in stabile signorile, molto bella e spaziosa la camera con bagno privato interno ricavato. Doppi vetri per isolamento acustico, si dorme molto bene senza disturbi da rumori di strada.
Gentilissima l’host!
- Elisa (10/5): - Centrale e ampi spazi
- Nilo (8/5): Struttura molto accogliente e pulita. Lo staff è stato molto ospitale e gentile. Ottima la posizione molto centrale. In -
- Betina (8/5): Skønt ophold - Fint rum og fællesområder. Fungerede rigtig godt med indtjekning. Fik en masse info af vært omkring byen og tur til Etna.
Tæt på byen og servlrdigheder.
- Natálie (9/5): Superb -
- Ed (10/5): - Easy walking distance to everything within the Catania historic area . Responsive and helpful staff. Positioned on its own floor in a larger complex. Supermarket across the road.
- FRANCESCA (10/5): - Accoglienza speciale e check-in anticipato. Camere spaziose e silenziose. Struttura comoda per esplorare Catania e host veramente cordiale e piena di informazioni utili per un bel soggiorno! Torneremo!
- Charlotte (8/5): Very good - Nice location and big rooms Host is responsive on WhatsApp but not at all present
- Sasha (10/5): Exceptional - Nice spacious rooms just a few blocks from the shops and restaurants. The breakfast and coffee were good and the staff was helpful with information. The AC didn't cool the room well enough.
- Malcolm (8/5): I would stay again. - Great Value, Close to everything,lovely Friendly host. It’s a little difficult to find at night as there is not much light. You will need the lift if you have heavy luggage.
- Hadzimujagic (10/5): Exceptional - The room was clean, nicely air conditioned and comfortable. The location was really good, and our stay was exceptionally comfortable. I can highly recommend this place, especially because of the lovely host who made our whole stay beautiful :)
- Theresa (9/5): Superb - The cleanliness, staff and location The construction around the building and the number of steps
- Kelly (10/5): Exceptional - Loredana made my self check in very easy as I wasn’t able to make the scheduled check in. Property is located close to the centre and lovely restaurants. Breakfast at the property was amazing all pastries handmade by Loredana. Will be returning to stay on my way back from travelling around Sicily
- Marco (9/5): Superb - I liked the owner's courtesy and the room with two big windows. Perfect the location close to the city center! The bathroom was a bit small and needs more lighting.
- Klara (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful place, clean and the location was perfect. Our host was amazing and the breakfast was delicious!
- Bruce (10/5): Exceptional -
- Joanne (10/5): An enjoyable stay at Bellini House!!! - This is a unique property in a good neighborhood. The rooms were very clean. Loredona is very kind & personable. She was available to give us helpful advice. We enjoyed our time in Catania!
- Jesslyn (4/5): Disappointing - Nice staff It was too old and musty and humid
- Dóra (9/5): Superb - Very nice staff, comfy bed, lovely terrace Walls very thin
- Mitja (8/5): - Very friendly host with good tips for enjoying the city, 10 minutes to city center.
- Barbara (6/5): - Die Unterkunft war ok. Das Frühstück für 8€ mehr als gut! Die Inhaberin und Ihre Mitarbeiter sehr nett und zuvorkommend.
Allerdings wird im Angebot verschwiegen, dass das Haus sehr heruntergekommen ist und aufgrund von behördlichen Vorgaben seit 8 Javren nichts passiert. Es ist ein Baustelle. Ein sehr schönes Haus, dass allmählich zerfällt. Im B&B ist es sauber. Die kleine Terrasse könnte liebevoller gestaltet werden. Es war ok, ich würde mir allerdings fürs nächste Mal was anderes suchen. Das Bild der Aussenfront entspricht nicht der Realität. Wenn man sich dessen bewusst ist, kann man den Kurztrip dort buchen.
- Cornelia (4/5): - Am Vorabend unserer Anreise wurde uns per Mail mitgeteilt, dass im Eingangsbereich ein hässliches Gerüst steht und der gesamte Bereich sehr schmutzig ist. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt war eine Stornierung nicht mehr möglich. Ich hätte diese Unterkunft niemals gebucht, wenn ich das im Vorfeld gewusst hätte. Die Zimmer und das Badezimmer waren sehr klein. Geschickt aufgenommen sahen diese auf den Fotos wesentlich größer aus. Checkout war um 10.30 Uhr und es war nicht möglich zumindest das Gepäck in der Unterkunft zu deponieren bis zur Abholung zum Flughafen. Die Inkeeperin war freundlich und hilfsbereit und das Frühstück gut.
- Tibor (8/5): - Valeria and Loredana were really super sweet and had great ideas/recommendations.
The room and the whole apartment was clean and quiet.
I really had a good time!
Only thing I would have liked to know about beforehand was the large construction site in the courtyard.
Small idea: I would offer free coffee/tea in the room.
- Johanna (10/5): Exceptional -
- Verified traveler (6/5): - We enjoyed exploring Catania and this property is in the heart of the city. The host was great. The only thing I would say would be the external property is in the middle of a building site. As soon as you enter the building you are met with this before you get upstairs. The bed and breakfast itself is very nice but we opened the window and all you could see is the building site in the middle of the property which we didn’t know about before booking. Overall the host and the b&b were excellent though.
- Luis (10/5): - Really nice!
- Valentina (9/5): Lovely B&B in central Catania with a personal touch! - Central location, room size, cleanliness, feeling of privacy in a small B&B, pretty communal terrace with Etna views, delicious & plentiful breakfast. Plus hospitality & personal attention of the host, who went the extra mile to ensure that all guests were well looked after! Single beds weren't as comfortable as expected, but that could be my experience only, as I'm used to sleeping on large beds personally.
- Maria (10/5): - Nice place in general
- Nele (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was super!we were welcomed very friendly!Thank you so much for the stay!
- Sarah (8/5): Very good - I've stayed here before and liked it so much so opted to come here again. Well-run, the breakfast terrace is great to relax. Everything is amazing price / quality. Definitely recommend this place again for solo or group travellers.
- Kristaps (6/5): Pleasant -
- Kristaps (6/5): Pleasant -
- Agata (10/5): Very recommendable, I’d repeat it definitely - Big spacious room, good location, comfortable bed, nice staff Maybe not as soundproof as I would like, if you have neighbours with babies or ones who are early birds, you might wake up with the noise
- Ramona (1/5): The worst! Do not recommend! - Nothing! The worst accomodation ever! No wardrobe, very very small shower cabin, very noisy room! The property was in a very old building, surrounded by constructions and very dusty and noisy. Lots of stairs, no elevator for tourists, only one old and very sloooow for the luggage!
When we arrived in the room, there was a strong chlorine smell! It was impossible to breathe without stroking and making sick! They were trying to cover the mold with the chlorine and that's why they were saying "we are desinfect the rooms"! The lady from the "reception" said that she couldn't change the room because all the rooms were busy. We asked her to talk with the manager of the property to cancel the booking with 1 night penalty, but the manager/owner didn't want! She refused to answer me on the phone, even though Booking agreed with the cancellation! We lost 2 and a half hours from our trip, trying to talk with the manager and with the receptionist, but the answer was NO WAY!
You'll never find such a bad accomodation and the worst personal like at Bellini Home! Never!
- Younggi (10/5): lovely - host. room. balcony. breakfast.
- Romina (5/5): Fair - It was clean and staff friendly It was different from images shown on it and staff although were nice but had a problem with the communication.
- Radostin (10/5): Location, Very clean. - Location is great.
Very clean place.
- Galea (8/5): Very good - Clean and central The lift
- Leonardo (7/5): Good -
- Grech (5/5): Passable - Clean rooms There was no kettle in the room and a lot of stairs
- Charlotte (10/5): Perfekt boende - Perfekt boende med jättebra läge. Kommer gärna tillbaka
- Ivan (8/5): - generally is good, Catania itself is dirty, unsafe city...
- Richard (10/5): - the staff was very welcoming, and helpful with our questions about getting around the city. we had a few minor problems with the air conditioner and toilet and they were fixed promptly and we had no further issues. The owner was able to get us transportation to the airport at half the cost of our ride in. The driver they arranged was prompt and took good care of us. Again the staff was excellent
- Julieta (6/5): Nice rooms but complicated set up & zero service - This stay would have been so much better if we had been informed ahead of time that there would be a construction site (we almost just left), then 3 flights of stairs and zero help or service. It’s a completely do it yourself B&B which is difficult to get into and almost impossible if you have any luggage. There is a tiny lift but instructions were complicated and my bag didn’t fit in it anyway so I had to leave most of my things in the car as it was too heavy for so many stairs. I was travelling with two older people and a young child and it was very difficult for us and no one to help you check in or assist with bags or help in general. Staff at breakfast were very nice each day with zero English. Rooms very very comfortable but very hot. I think if management would have just prepared us better what to expect in terms we would have had a much better experience. I spent a lot of time answering questions from other guests who had also had a difficult time getting and managing self check in and the stairs etc.
- John (8/5): - Accommodation was excellent and staff worked to help
Access through 4 locked and/or coded doors was a nightmare until siesta time had passed and another visitor helped us
- Josh (10/5): - Loredana was a lovely host and made us feel welcome on a short stay to Catania.
The area immediately around is generally okay, and has some dirty streets nearby, but don’t let it put you off because Catania has some excellent places to discover.
- Celine (7/5): Good - The room was quite old and therefore not very welcoming. Someone had smoked in our room, which was quite disgusting. We contacted the owner and they offered us free breakfast and city tax, which was nice. The breakfast was also nice. Still, for one night it was ok, but I wouldn‘t like to stay for longer.
