What we liked the most was the warm vibe there. It's a family run business accommodation and we felt really welcomed there! Lovely family:))) Even though they almost didn't speak English, we were communicating and trying to speak to each other. Also it was very convenient to speak in Whatsapp too, Melina always responded very quickly. There were 2 things we were worried about before getting there - parking and a private external bathroom. The bathroom outside the room didn't bother us at all. It was right next to the room. Also there are not many rooms-guests in the accommodation, so it felt very private anyways. The parking- it was free and outside on the street. There was a "parking guy" who helped us to park our car every night, everything was very secure and we didn't worry at all, just in case we just dropped some coins to him;) Also we even saw our car from the balcony. The accommodation was actually in a very good location also because we were in the beginning of the old town and exactly there you can go by car, further no. To walk in the main square was about 10min (with 2kids). It was really nice to sit on the balcony and sip some wine. There was a church and the street view. All the rooms were super clean, after breakfast they even cleaned the dining chairs! We got a really nice experience staying there, a very local experience. We would definitely come back next time when in Catania:)
Would prefer a softer pillow, but I didn't ask them, maybe they have:) Also in the breakfast would prefer more fresh stuff like tomatoes, cucumber, salads, fruits!!, etc. But overall the breakfast was good :)

The owners were very kind and helpful. The breakfast was very good and very italian 😆. The place was vlean , comgortable and antic design that was very cool. The location was perfect in the center of historical city of Catania. Only 2 minutes walk from Piazza Del Duomo . Ease access to Bus Station and Tourist Guides if you want to move to or visit other cities or attractions. The sea was 30-35 minutes walk but there were buses every 10-15 minutes. (1 euro tickets).
No dislikes. For the price you pay is 10/10 stay.

The B&B is located in the center of Catania and in walking distance of all sights. It is easily accessible from the airport (both via bus and car) and with its elegant, former century interior, makes you feel like you have just entered an Italian palazzo. Each morning, we were woken up by the smell of coffee and fresh pastries and greeted with a smile by Luigi and Melina, who run the place. Both of them instantly made us feel like family and went out of their way to ensure we have everything we need, while still giving us space and privacy. We will definitely book this place again the next time we come to Catania!

Breakfast was prepared by Señora Malina, and was excellent
If there was a small refrigerator / coffee machine in the room it would be perfect. The neighborhood around the room looks dirty and neglected (in fact the whole area in the old city of Catania looks like this)

Nice and cozy room. Comfortable and huge mattress. Heavy curtains. Effective and operative air-conditioning. Small balcony. Less than 10 minutes to piazza Duomo.
There wasn't a refrigerator in the room. It is quite needed, especially during summer time. The wooden closet seemed quite fragile. I would like to taste some salty breakfast (bacon, eggs) not only sweets, ham and cheese.

Beautiful room with style and balcony in a lovely location, big and confortable for 2 adults with 2 small children. We could also Park the car in front of the door for free! Spotless shared bathroom. Lovely breakfast experience. Loved talking to Luigi who prepared breakfast for us. Soulful stay! Would love to come back.
I liked everything!

Excellent location Generous and delicious breakfast with croissants, pancakes and homemade omelette Clean room and frequent cleaning Our host Melina is amazing, friendly and caring
A mini fridge would be appropriate especially in summer days as we visited Unstable internet connection Hosted in old building, could be better maintained
