Amazing host! Such a lovely family who make your stay extra special. Breakfast and coffee in the morning included. Giordano send me information through WhatsApp about how to get to the place. Within 30 minutes from landing at the airport I arrived to the place. The room had beautiful high, decorated ceilings and large windows which you could open and look at the square. Bathroom, internet, everything was fine. The city and main attractios are in walking distance. Very easy to take a bus to the beach as well. I could message any time and he helped me with everything. Gave me tips about where to go to dinner or which bus to take. I could even leave my luggage there after check out to enjoy my day without having to carry my luggage. I had a great time, thanks to this family and would definitely recommend to stay here and enjoy Catania.

A very pleasant and helpful guest, Giodano helped me understanding the system for the parking in the vicinity. He was very friuendly with us. The location is very good, just a few hundred meters from the (touristic) restaurant strett, and surrounded by non-touristic but still very nice restaurants. Just a few minutes walk to the main attractions. Breakfast was sufficient in quantity, if not the finest for Italy. Huge bedrooms, clean bathrooms.

Unfortunately, the main gate of the building where the B&B is located is extremely loud. So we were all awaken early by the repeating closing of this gate. Not everyone (not a problem for us) would like to get out of the bedroom, cross the corridor to reach the bathroom/restrooms.

The accommodation vas very nice. It was close to the city center so we didn't have to walk a lot. The host was very polite and he gave us advices about the town and transportation. We were very pleased with the breakfast - every morning we would get a croissant and extra biscuit with caffee or juice. Everything is easy to arrange. The room was spacious - air conditioning, 2 beds (one double size bed and one one size bed ). The bathroom was in the hallway but was close to our room. A bonus was a very nice ceiling.

The experience at A Casa di GioSi was memorable and provided a great example of Sicilian hospitality. The owner Giord was extremely responsible and helpful in getting my friends and I checked in. He messaged me on WhatsApp within an hour of booking the accomodation to coordinate our arrival, particularly as we got in only after 1 am. We arrived at Catania Airport late at night after Christmas when there weren't taxis at the airport and he stayed up late to ensure we had a taxi ordered and greeted us at the accommodation. He also provided lots of recommendations for local pizzerias, attractions, hiking tours on Etna, and other sound advice, and also helped book us one such tour. He was always available if we had any questions during our stay. The property is in a classic building with beautiful high ceilings. It is clean and well-kept. The location is central enough to be within 20 minute's walk of all of Catania's main attractions, best restaurants, and the bus+train stations, while also on a quiet street that allows you to sleep well. The bed and shower/bathroom were comfortable. I highly recommend this place if you are going to Catania and exploring Eastern Sicily!

The Wifi Internet connection was not always working, sometimes it was strong and other times it would cease to function. I think the owner can invest in a more modernized connection that allows for consistent Internet access.

Accommodation was really nice, the photos are realistic. The owner was super kind and helpfull. Location is really close to city center. Breakfast were good but croissant and coffee arent really average for most europeans, but for two days it was fine for us. The city center in Catania has beautiful night atmosphere during the summer, light bulbs, music and food everywhere :)

External bathroom was a little bit uncomfortable, but we knew about it before from the discription.

Location was perfect. Only minutes to a large variety of restaurants and easy walking to all Catania’s historic sights. Our room was huge; the external bathroom provided plenty of hot water. Giordano, our host, was exceptional at communication before and during our stay in Catania. He helped arrange our Etna, Alcantara tour (which was fabulous).

The bathroom shower could do with a re-fit as the shower riser rail did not support the shower head.

The location is just perfect! The room is big. The host is helpful - he tries his best. If Giordano couldn't serve breakfast, he'll give you a voucher for the snack-house a few meters away. They make amazing pistachio croissants!!! I also borrowed a kettle to make tea... he was accommodating. The toilets are outside your room, but that's OK for me. This building, like so many in Catania, is also old, and that is a plus for me. It's fun carrying so many keys and opening so many doors haha. Also, the main market is so close - a few minutes walk. Make sure you visit at least once! Truly an experience! (open 7 to 12 Mon-Sat). I bought second-hand clothes, toasted pistachios, herbs and vintage trinkets. Giordano is attentive and he replies to messages promptly. All the best to this Casa and I wish more people will have happy memories of Catania. Ciao!

No information about daily tickets for bus or trains. Giordano definitely should have this info. I suggest printing them and just posting them on the wall. Also maybe just include emergency telephone numbers, location of main market, supermarkets or groceries. It would be great also to write places of interest PLUS the bus number and bus stop - a quick guide. I'd prefer that than the free maps filled with advertisements. Print and post on the wall. This will help the lazy or the elderly guests haha. A warning to those who are extra sensitive to noise - this is the 2nd floor, and there are cars driving by until midnight or so. But this location is perfect!!!

Perfect location, short walk distance from the Alibus bus to and from the airport, and to the historical city center. If you rent a car you can also easily find free or paid parking in the square (advice, rent a small car and prefer to add insurance coverage, you never know but nothing happened to us). Giordano, the host, is very helpful and available. Every morning we had a typical breakfast from Catania, with a fresh croissant and cappuccino, and yoghurts etc. The rooms are incredibly spacious, typical of historical Sicilian buildings, with balcony with view on the square. You can simply stay in the balcony and observe the busy life of locals. Everything was very clean and functional. I stayed at several B&Bs in Catania and this was the best.

Nothing really.

The size of the room was incredible. Bathroom was clean and everything was provided. The owner was fabulous and so helpful and caring. Always happy to advice. It was only 10 minutes walk to the centre. Bed was super comfortable too. When Internet didn't work properly the owner sorted it straight away. Amazing value for money!

There was a bit of the noise from outside, but it was expected as it is City centre. It would be great to have an access to kettle to make tea/coffee anytime, but that's just a suggestion ;)

The host was very responsive and helpful. Bed was comfortable, place clean. Very good value for the money.

As stated before you can hear everything inside the apartment and outside on the street. Best advice is to bring ear plugs. This place has no refrigerator or coffee pot (although a plastic water heater was provided for my tea upon request).
