We got a very big room facing the main street (via Etnea), but the balcony doors are quite soundproof so it wasn't disturbing during the night. The host Valentina was available for all the information we needed. It is perfectly located in the center so we could pass by very easily to rest or leave something in the room during our walks in the area.

The main door was not quite sound-proof, so it was a bit noisy from the inside of the B&B, you could hear everything that happened in the hallway, noisy guests living very early, but luckily nothing during the night.

Location Location Location. The Cortile Stesicoro is located right in the middle of the action, no further than a 10 or 15 min walk from any of the great sights to see in Catania. The bus station (for bus to Taormina) is about a 20 or 25 min walk. We stayed in suite 2 (i think?) and you may want earplugs for sleeping, as the 3rd floor balcony (typical and small) faces the main (and great!) pedestrian thoroughfare Via Etnea. You can close the balcony doors and turn on the air conditioning at night to keep things quieter. A busy market (movida) is a 2 min walk north and there are so many restaurants and cafes to choose from in this very walkable area of the city . The host, Valentina, is awesome! She speaks great English and is very helpful in all regards. You can buy a breakfast voucher from her for the cafe downstairs or you can just pay as you go. We usually started our days with a visit to this cafe. The road does not go right to the front door of Cortille, the entrance is located right next to mcdonalds...in behind a large locked door. The taxi may drop you off 20m/50ft away, adjacent to mcdonalds. This property and host is highly recommended!!

Nothing.

The location is just awesome, right on Via Etna in the very center, with easy access and walking distance to main attractions. The B&B is located on the first floor in on old building. The entrance is not the best but it was clean. The rooms are modern, clean, and very spacious. Coffee facilities and water were available. We arranged with the host to leave our bags there since we arrived early and left late.

The only issue we had was the Breakfast which is served at a coffee shop just underneath from 8.30-10.30am , however they had nothing available before 12.00, except the local granita and graffa (a local type of brioche). Otherwise it is recommended for a short stay.

very convenient location, right by where the bus drops you off from the airport, Piazza Stesicoro. so it’s well located to walking to see everything. a bit of a loud street though, but the shutters in the room mask most the sound. The room was up on the second floor but a number of flights of steps to get there. checkin was easy via WhatsApp and the housekeeper. the room was large and spacious with a balcony. The shower was nice and hot with food pressure.

there was a bit of noise from the hallway outside the room, the bathroom was a bit outdated and could use some regrouting and silicon. the toilet button sticks so you have to pull it up sometimes so it doesn’t keep flushing, sink smells a little funky, and the beds were a bit hard. but there are all really minor. it’s a great value!

Me and my brother were very satisfied. The room was clean, we had fresh clean towels every day and chilled water in the fridge. The host Valentina is great, friendly and helpful to advise with everything. We could pick up our luggage at any time upon departure, even at night. The location is also absolutely excellent, everything is nearby. Many thanks, Valentina !

Everything was O.K.

everything went great. I was greeted warmly. communication was also very pleasant. the coffee is delicious, which I drank on the balcony of the evening city. a wonderful old house. I love this atmosphere. large windows with a balcony. it takes me back to the past. hotel in the very center of the city.

Valentina is super friendly and helped us figure out our airport transfer as well. The rooms are a bit on the old side and you can hear others moving around in the corridor a bit, but this place is still really good value for money. Perfect location (right on the main street, walking distance to the station, and airport bus stops right next to the B&B). We had to catch an early flight but that was no problem from here.

lovely place right in the centre of Via Etnea, round the corner from the market and with shops, restaurants and bars right outside. metro stop and airport transport only a few metres away. room was very spacious with coffe making facilities in the common area. best thing of all was our host who went out of her way to make sure we had a great stay. A very nice person indeed! I would definitely stay here again.

nothing. we had a lovely stay

Excelant location - the main street and the stop of Alibus to the airport is very close. Clean, cold water in the fridge and free tea and coffee. Valentina is very kind and helpfull. Value for money. Recommend.

Only the small repairs in the bath, but nothing serious.

It’s very central location, 10-15 minutes away by foot from the Duomo and a similar distance to the main bus and train station. The bed was comfy and everything was as expected.

The shower area is a little too small but this was not a huge issue for us.
