We stayed at this B&B during Easter week. We didn't have previous reservations and they were able to accomodate us by a knock at the door. Georgio and Mathilde are the owners, a young couple very busy making a successful and comfortable place to stay in Catania. Rooms were large, great bathroom, nice attention to details throughout, even down to... More

I discovered this place via a friend who lives in Catania. Ever since my first visit there in June of 2012, I have made this exquisite B&B my home whenever I travel to Catania. Perfect location to city center, shopping and lovely restaurants and outings. Extremely helpful and welcoming staff. Beautifully decorated and unique rooms. A must!!

Had a great stay. The B&B was beautiful with a large room and big bathroom. Lovely decor and comfy bed. Shower had good pressure. Breakfast was nice with fresh orange juice which we thought was delicious with croissants, sliced.meat, boiled eggs and cereal. The owner Matilde provided us with good information about Catania, where to go, what to see, where... More

We arrived in Catania late at night and attempted to book in to this hotel. Despite having booked via an on-line booking site - they had no record of our booking. We were gutted! Despite this the staff were so apologetic and helpful and immediately rang another hotel a few 100 metres away and booked us into the other hotel.... More

The B&B is located in a large residential building in a pleasant location within easy reach of the train station and city centre. There is parking behind the building. The rooms are very spacious, air-conditioned, clean and tastefully decorated; I was particularly impressed with the artwork on the vaulted ceilings. There is WiFi in every room. The staff is extremely... More

Antiche Volte is a B&B located OUT of the city center of Catania. Although the lady at the front desk told us that the walk to the center was about 10 min, we like to correct her as the walk is at least, when you really step on it, about 20 minutes minimum! And we are tall peoplle with long... More

Dear Madam, Thank you for leaving a review on tripadvisor. Some small clarification: the B & B is located in the City CENTER onf Catania, Via Umberto, in fact, is one of the main street linking the sea to the gardens of Villa Bellini (via Etnea). The center of Catania is very large so the distance 10 or 20 minutes... More

I recently stayed at this B&B for a long weekend. It was extremely clean and wonderfully decorated. The rooms are all unique, most of which feature beautiful vaulted ceilings. The staff is extremely helpful and the breakfast is delicious! I would highly recommend this B&B for anyone staying in Catania.

THE PLACE: This B&B sits in a spacious apartment in a residential building, quite conveniently located, in an elegant part of the town, and at a walking distance (20 min) from the old city (you don't want to stay in the old city as it is quite dirty and can be a bit dodgy in certain parts). The rooms are... More

What a lovely Bed and Breakfast, with such beautiful artwork! We stayed in the largest room (the suite) with a breathtaking fresco on the ceiling, which was delightful and relaxing to look at when we awoke the following morning. The breakfast room is particulary charming, displaying some wonderful "Ceramiche De Simone" ceramics from the owers store. The staff are very... More
