This was the only bad B&B experience of our 3 week trip. The location is good and Michele is very friendly, but we would have left after the first night if we'd been staying more than two nights total. It is also bad value and not worth 70E a night. We paid 60E for a comparative palace in Palermo. The... More

Surprising is the tenor of the negative opinion that contrasts with many other positive received, and our immense commitment obviously there has been some misunderstanding I do fine for the future ...

The room we stayed in was nicely furnished and very comfortable. There were balconies looking in two directions and the location was outstanding. The pipes were old, though, so the shower was always in danger of flooding. The WiFi router wouldn't let us online, and Michele shrugged this off as a configuration problem with our tech and declined to do... More

Charming B&B with a very friendly owner. Unfortunately we couldn't get to sleep because there was a lot of noise from the streets. Also the room was full of mosquitos. Wouldn't go there again. More

This was a very personal bed & breakfast. Michele the owner had little English but had thoughtfully ensured that an english speaker was present when our group of 6 arrived. However because he was so helpful common language was not necessary. He made wonderful coffee each morning and directed us to good restaurants and we looked forward to our contact... More

After studying all of these positive Trip Advisor reviews to help me choose this B&B, I agree for the most part: Free Internet was awesome. The location is good. Very close to the main drag, Via Etnea. Easy walk to the Duomo. Our room was quite spacious. Going in or out of the building from the streets, it was surprising... More

I felt welcomed the minute I walked in to this little oasis off the bustling streets of Catania. As I was traveling alone and as a solo gal, I was a bit nervous about being alone in Sicily for the first time. But no worries here, I felt safe here. Recommend this place for anyone traveling to Catania. More

Fantastic place to stay, million thanks to host Michele who was fantastic and very helpful, especially when giving us a lift to the airport at 5AM. Rooms are very clean, air conditioned and quiet. It's 5 minutes walk from all attractions and 2 min from Via Santa Filomena, packed with restaurants and bars at night. Highly recommended. Grazie Michele !!!... More
