- Sanja (10/5): - Everythyung is good Stairs
- Zafar (8/5): -
- Geetha (10/5): Un séjour remarquable - L’accès à la fois proche des sites incontournables et de la gare.
La gentillesse et la disponibilité des hôtes. Rien
- Jovanović (10/5): -
- Alberta (9/5): Ottimo, consigliato !!!! - La pulizia, la stanza luminosa e grande, la saletta comune , la gentilezza e disponibilità del proprietario
- Serena (9/5): Felicissima di essere stata nella loro struttura! - Posizione ottimale per il centro e la stazione centrale, accoglienza unica da parte di Riccardo e Daniela che ci hanno deliziato con i loro racconti e con le loro colazioni buonissime..
- Jose Manuel (8/5): Well located simple accommodation - It is well located, in the relative proximity of anything you want to see in Catania. The room was pretty large; space is more than enough for two people. The owner is nice (although perhaps slightly intrusive) Breakfast was a bit unclear. In fact, it seemed to be composed of two breakfasts: a voucher for a coffee and a fattening sweet thing in the cafeteria downstairs and a coffee and also some fattening sweet staff at the property. The entrance and stairs to the building are in a deteriorated condition (on the other hand, the common areas of the apartment are nicely decorated)

- Maria Rosa (7/5): -
- Daniela (7/5): Accoglienza al top - I cuscini del letto andrebbero migliorati
- Annukka (10/5): - Sijainti oli hyvä ja vastaanotto ystävällinen. Huone oli siisti ja aamiainen läheisessä kahvilassa hyvä.
- D'Orio (10/5): - Posizione Eccellente, 5 minuti a piedi e si è in centro, parcheggio semplice da trovare, location molto accogliente ed il proprietario disponibilissimo a qualsiasi ora, delizioso e molto simpatico, durante la colazone della mattina abbiamo scambiato quattro chiacchiere
- Francesco (9/5): -
- Giuseppe (10/5): Comodità in centro Catania - Abbiamo soggiornato al BnB da Rì e l’esperienza è stata davvero ottima!
La camera era ampia, molto pulita e calda, ideale per rilassarsi dopo una giornata in giro per Catania.
Il bagno privato, grande e curato, aggiunge un vero tocco di comfort.
La posizione è perfetta: in meno di 10 minuti a piedi si raggiungono Villa Bellini e via Etnea, il cuore pulsante della città. Davvero comodo!
La colazione inclusa al bar sotto il BnB è stata una piacevole sorpresa: ottima e abbondante.
Un altro punto di forza è sicuramente Riccardo, il proprietario: una persona eccezionale, gentile e sempre disponibile per qualsiasi necessità.
Ci siamo trovati talmente bene che non vediamo l’ora di tornare.
Consigliatissimo!
- Hadrien (9/5): Un BnB bien situé et un hôte sympa et dispo ! - La disponibilité et les conseil de notre hôte. Le gardiennage de nos sac et le petit déjeuner servi le premier jours. Rien. Seule remarque, les petits déjeuners des jours 2 et 3 n'étaient pas servis dans le BNB mais dans un café à coté. Ce dernier était bon mais moins copieux que celui du BnB.
- Jess Vestergaard (7/5): - Værten var flink og imødekommende. Værelset mod gården, hvor vi overnattede var ganske mørkt.
Morgenmaden skulle indtages på en café tæt ved, men bestod blot af en croissant og en kop kaffe. Det er lige i overkanten at booking.com kalder opholdet "inkl. morgenmad".
- Paul (10/5): - Exceptional owner and took great care to help in any way
- Albert (9/5): Wonderful location and comfortable room. - We were especially grateful for being greeted personally by Ricardo rather than a remote email or text from the host. He was helpful, gave directions and suggestions, arranged for a transfer to and from the airport and very friendly. The location was windfall. We assume that a B& B has breakfast on site. This is not always the case in Italy or Sicily. Guests are given vouchers for Cafes or Pasteraterias a few doors away or around the corner, which is not as convenient for travelers.
- luciano (10/5): Ottimo servizio e ottimo servizio.grazie -
- Fabio (7/5): Bene tutto, grande delusione per la colazione al bar. - La posizione e la camera silenziosa Un Bed & Breakfast oltre alla camera deve offrire anche la colazione e non quella al bar, che non è una colazione, ma un triste rito per chi ha fretta e deve andare al lavoro. Per chi come noi è da sempre abituato alla colazione come momento importante della giornata e sceglie la soluzione B&B la delusione è stata grande, anche in considerazione del prezzo del soggiorno. Sarebbe meglio che queste soluzioni fossero definite come Appartamenti in affitto e non B&B.
- TEODORANI (8/5): -
- Frederique (10/5): Une bonne adresse pour visiter Catania - Ricardo m'a très bien accueillie, la chambre était grande et propre, et le B&B est très bien situé (pas loin de la gare et des sites à visiter), je recommande!
- Theo (10/5): Ho trascorso un soggiorno davvero meraviglioso al B&B di Ricardo! La casa è accogliente, curata nei minimi dettagli - Ho trascorso un soggiorno davvero meraviglioso al B&B di Ricardo! La stanza è accogliente, curata nei minimi dettagli e molto pulita. La posizione è perfetta per rilassarsi e allo stesso tempo visitare la zona. Ricardo è stato un host eccezionale: gentile, disponibile e sempre attento a farci sentire come a casa. Non potevo chiedere di meglio, tornerò sicuramente!

- lo li na (10/5): Placer inesperado - En realidad todo. Es una sorpresa la habitación y el gusto con que está decorado. La atención de Sergio una gozada. Estuvo atento a todo. Recomendable 100x100. Gracias Sergio.
- assunta (6/5): Catania - La posizione, molto vicina al centro di Catania, i servizi extra offerti dal proprietario come le escursioni sull'Etna, il servizio navetta per il mare, possibilità di visitare zone limitrofe. La gentilezza del proprietario. Assenza dell' ascensore, si fa molta fatica soprattutto con il caldo, il cambio degli asciugamani ogni tre giorni e la colazione al bar, quindi non fatta dalla struttura.
Parcheggio vicino ma a pagamento e non custodito.
- Grace (10/5): Perfect introduction to Catania. - Everything. It was comfortable, had a lovely terrace that overlooked the city and was VERY accessible. Close to the train station and buses that come from other cities . Riccardo was amazing and showed me true Sicilian hospitality. I felt very much at home. The breakfast was also great. -
- Nadine (10/5): Fantastic Hosts in a great location in Catania Italy. - B&B Da Ri was a pleasant stay in the city of Catania. The hosts were amazing!! Ricardo is very kind and funny as well. He spoke English very well and told me about many places to eat and visit. He messaged me information and kept in touch with me from the time I made my reservation, until the day I left. Daniella (host) was so sweet, and she makes the most delicious cakes for breakfast.
Ricardo provided a great map to show the location of all the sights. There were many restaurants nearby & lots of shopping; and the most amazing cafe on the corner with the most delicious food. He arranged for a day tour of Mt. Etna & also arranged transportation to the airport on the morning of my departure.
The room at the B&B was large, clean, and comfortable. There are about 55 steps from the lower level to the B&B. Maybe I was just spoiled by my 2-minute walk to the train station at the previous B&B I stayed at in a different town, but it is about a 15-minute walk to the train station.
- T.k. (8/5): Nice location - Location close to the city center and the bus stop to the airport, kind and helpfull owner. Clean apartment with basic facilities. Poor breakfast, coffe and croissant from the next bakery.
- Suzanne (10/5): Lovely city apartment - clean and in great location. Ricxardo was a top host. We had a gappy & v comfortable 3 night - Great location and everything was clean and perfect I liked everything
- Theodora (10/5): Exceptional - Too many stairs
- K.n.pap. (8/5): Very good. Almost sure that I will go again. - Good value for money The breakfast at the cafe (coffee and croissant) showing a note from the owner. I don't like this type of breakfast.
- Nataliia (10/5): Exceptional -
- Noemie (9/5): Superb - Very welcoming host, available swiftly for any question. The room I had is very comfy and quiet (with a window over an inner courtyard, so it is isolated from the street noise). The breakfast is in a pasticceria around the corner, very convenient and efficient.
- Marek (9/5): Superb - The place at Ricardo was really good, clean, location at the city center, close to the bus station.
The owner of the B&B Ricardo was very funny and helpful and in case of any need he helped/responded very quickly. I can only recommend his place. None
- Angela (9/5): Superb - Riccardo & Daniele were amazing hosts.
The BnB is clean, nice spacious room, comfortable bed with good pillows. Quiet area but easy walking distance to train station & central sights. Also delicious breakfast at local pastry store next door.
Thank you for an amazing stay!
- Natalia (9/5): Superb - The location of the B&B is perfect: everything is accessible by foot. As well as bus stop to airport, Taormina, etc.
The owner is super friendly and hospitable. My flight was delivered for 3 hours, and I arrived late at night, he was waiting for me.
Also Riccardo gave good advices for trattorias, places to visit.
Rooms of B&B are very spacious, fully equipped. Breakfast in the nearby cafe is included, on Sundays breakfast was in B&B.
It was a pleasure to stay there. Once I come back to Sicily for sure will be back to this B&B. Not that I didn’t like, but to know there is no elevator. But I managed with my big suitcase.
- Domenica (10/5): Exceptional -
- Francesco (8/5): Very good -
- Mariarosaria (10/5): Exceptional - tutto perfetto e host super disponibile
- Zia (8/5): Very good -
- Ruben (10/5): Exceptional - The hosts are very welcoming and responsive. The room is large with a fridge, additionally the shared area can be used to eat or have a tea.
- Sofia (8/5): Very good -
- Leyla (10/5): Exceptional - It was very clean. There was a daily cleaning. The towels were changed often. It was for me more than a b&b, like a hotel. The owners Riccardo and Daniel were very friendly and helpful. I got every morning fresh homemade cakes and pastries. It was delicious. They helped me also alot with my trip, where to go, how to go etc. The b&b price was very good.
I can highly recommend this place.
- Molly (10/5): Exceptional -
- Zuriñe (10/5): Exceptional - I liked how I was treated from the first minute. Very attentive, pleasant host to deal with...Nice, spacious room with lots of light and fresh air not far from city centre or main stations. Easy to have dinner around, too.
A pleasure for my first step in Sicily!
- Sabrina (10/5): Exceptional -
- Tereza (10/5): Exceptional - Big room, quit at Night for sleeping. good location and the owner was really kind and friendly.
- John (9/5): Great place, auperb location, helpful host - Nice location, nice people 4 f;ights of stairs with heavy suitcase
- Marina (10/5): Worth for money! - Great location, clean room and supportive staff. The checkout hour (10 a.m.) is too early.
- Alan (10/5): Exceptional - Riccardo is very friendly and helpful. He let me leave my bag in the B&B while I visited and stayed in Ragusa for one night. The room was clean, spacious and the location is very good. Only 10 mins walk to the main square and there also some good local restaurants a few minutes away. I would recommend staying in B&B Da Ri if visiting Catania. Nothing
- Alan (10/5): Exceptional - Riccardo was very friendly and helpful. He let me leave my luggage when I went to Ragusa for one night. The room was spacious, clean and in a good location. I would recommend this B&B if staying in Catania. Nothing.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Ottimo BeB - Situato vicino alla villa Bellini quindi vicino al centro di Catania, stanza ampia e ben pulita. Colazione compresa anche se non effettuato perche ho dovuto andar via presto.
