Characterful B & B from a bygone era. An impressive entrance through an enormous original wooden gate, which must be original 18th century, leads into a cobbled courtyard and then in through an imposing marble staircase and entrance hall. The bedrooms are huge with double height ceilings with frescos and huge French doors leading onto balconies. There is a small lounge area where breakfast is served with the option of having breakfast overlooking the piazza. The location is excellent, with many restaurants nearby and lots within walking to visit in the town. It's about 5 minutes walk from the Catania Airport Scicli bus stop but the tourist information Elios (1mins walk) can organise a taxi to Catania for 150 euros. Excellent value.

As a Brit, I missed having tea and coffee in my room....

Beautiful building accessed via huge original wooden doors that open onto a cobbled courtyard. An impressive marbled entrance hall with a flight of marble steps leads to the B & B on the first floor. The rooms are huge with double height ceilings with frescos and chandeliers. Very large french windows, with internal shutters lead to balconies many overlooking the piazza. It is like stepping in to a bygone era. Great location, on one of the main piazzas. Lots of restaurants and many tourist attractions just a few minutes walk away. The Catania Scicli bus stops five minutes down the road while the Elios tourist info is a mins walk and can arrange a taxi (mine was at 2am) for 150 Euros.

As a Brit, I always miss being able to make tea and coffee in my room.

I liked the location because it was in the square. Restaurants were very close... The building is old and has historical value. I have a problem with walking & lifting ...cannot walk far. The staff were extremely helpful, warm and co-operative. I needed to rest and loved the balcony overlooking the square and watch the world go by. Breakfast was nice and inviting set in an authentic old room with fresco on ceiling. Also bedroom had fresco.

No lift but they helped me with my baggage. Service with a smile.

My room was spacious with a good bathroom. The dining room was very pleasant and well served by a nice staff member. Inside parking at 8 euros per day provided which was a bonus as town parking hit and miss. Right in the centre of town so very convenient for everything. Best Fish restaurant in town only 30 meters away.

Nothing

This room was incredible. Truly felt like staying in a palace. To lay in bed and stare up at the Fresco on the ceiling and the crystal chandelier. And to open the window onto the main town square to hear the bells. Was amazing. Staff were really great too. They didn't speak much English but we still managed to communicate well and with a smile :)

My only complaints would be the bed was a little on the uncomfortable side even though it was huge and the breakfast offering was a bit small. I love the cafe that we were given vouchers for but I need a bit more than a croissant and a coffee to start my day.

The location is perfect - right in the heart by Piazza Italia - Conte is a wonderful piece of architecture, with fresco ceilings, 6 metre high rooms and gorgeous floor tiles. The balcony overlooked Piazza Italia and has a great view of the hill area around the town as well as the view of the Baroque monastery. The staff and owners were delightful, very attentive and super welcoming. Highly recommended!

The only gripe is that breakfast is served in a nearby cafe - it is fine, coffee and a pastry but I would have preferred it in the Conte. However not really anything to detract from the wonderful stay there

Beautiful building with amazing big rooms in a central location

Difficult to manage all the steps, with luggage. A porter/assistance with luggage would be much appreciated

Perfect location, in an old palazzo. Elegant rooms, beautiful breakfast room. Parked next to a Bentley in the courtyard/driveway! The ower is very proud of his property. Absolutely charming!

Not much!

The charm of the unic historical city. The autentic and beautiful building with ceiling paintings of past centuries. Very kind and helpful staff. Safe parking inside locked door. Good breakfast.

What a lovely stay! We were treated with the greatest care and everything was lovely including the perfect location close to all the attractions, very helpful staff and lovely rooms especially the ceilings! Would highly recommend!
