I'm sorry for your regret that it took you a long time to find the B&B (and yet it is very close to the Duomo and 8 minutes from the airport) but as you explained your cell phone was not enabled.We at the facility tried to help you in the best way possible, my collaborator and a very kind Canadian guest agreed to go down the street to look for you, as you were able to see, best regards

The hotel claimed it offers transfers from the airport for surcharges. In reality, when I requested the transfer to the airport, they called a taxi for 22-25 Euros. I also needed a transfer from the airport to the hotel after I have dropped a rental car, and they advised me to take an unfamiliar bus in an unfamiliar city. So, I had to take a taxi again. The conclusion is that this hotel DOES NOT offer the transfer. Also, for those traveling by car: you will be lucky if you find a parking space on the street near the hotel. So, I do not recommend this hotel, especially to those traveling by cars.

Dear Guest, I am sorry for your misadventures, but I would like to point out that you have not read the regulations carefully, the transfer is not free as we report the trip to an agency. We explained well that the driver who was supposed to make the trip had an accident. I would also like to point out that three minutes from the B&B there is a municipal car park at a cost of 1.00 per hour during the day, 2.00 for the entire duration of the night.I hope I have provided some clarificationBest regards

Tucked in a side street - very clean & accommodating with arrival & storing baggage during the day of departure.

Absolutely superb! Stunning building and probably the best lift in the history of lifts!! The whole place is beautiful. Staff were kind, knowledgeable and really cared that I got the best out of Catania. Loved it.

This is a beautiful hotel located in an apartment building. There are many charming elements such as an old fashioned elevator with red velvet seats and beautiful painted ceilings. You can walk to the main piazza. There is a municipal parking lot very close by. Let the owner know you need to park your car and she will send you the exact name. There is also a large park with a fountain and playground right next to the parking lot, less than a 10 minute walk. There is also an open air fruit/veggie market there too. The area right around the hotel is a bit run down but we felt very safe walking with our toddler and it’s such a quick walk to the piazza. The owner was very kind and helped us with some questions. We loved our room, it was spacious and the air conditioning worked very well! The ceiling was painted beautifully. We would definitely stay here again.

Incredibly kind staff. We arrived late due to a delayed flight and somebody stayed at the reception for us until then. The host was also generous in giving us good advice for safe parking, activities and get arounds. The bed and breakfast is ideally located, at 2 min walking to catania's heart. The building is very old and charming. Our room was decorated simply but functionally. Everything was clean and the bed very comfortable.
