Maria Cristina and Francesco are very kind, welcoming, and always smiling. They gave us valuable suggestions to visit the city. The breakfast is always varied and excellent. Our room was cozy and very clean. The structure is located in the city center just a few steps from Piazza Duomo.

We stayed at the Bianca B&B at the end of September 2023. The location is excellent, convenient coming from the airport and not far from the train station, and above all a stone's throw from the historic center. The only downside is the traffic noise, which can be avoided by closing the windows and turning on the air conditioning. The room is beautiful and spacious. The managers are helpful and provide a lot of information. Great breakfast. Highly recommended.

Francesco and Cristina are two nice young people who manage the property in a way that makes the guest feel at home! They are attentive, always available and very kind. The Bianca B&B is centrally located and well connected to transportation to visit the surroundings. On foot, you can easily reach the historical and artistic places of interest. Beautiful week spent in August. I will gladly return.

Very nice property, Francesco and Mariacristina were very friendly and welcoming. Francesco was particularly helpful. He served breakfast at a very early morning time, which was very prohibitive, since we had a flight at 06.55. I will definitely stay there again. Thank you very much to Francesco and Mariacristina.

My rating is 10 because there is no higher rating. The room was perfect and spacious, the breakfast super magnificent, abundant and varied. The location is central for visiting the city but also for public transport and airport connections. The hosts are nice and welcoming and provided me with excellent advice for everything, the visits and the restaurants. Thank you guys and good luck with your work.

Top accommodation with excellent hosts Francesco and MariaCristina in the center of Catania. Everything within walking distance. Cathedral, Via Etnea (shopping street) Via Bellini. Also the fish, vegetable and fruit market and much more. The apartment is very nicely furnished, great breakfast, nothing is missing. Again to mention the super friendliness and charm of MariaCristina and Francesco. Francesco. A lost earring from my wife was sent to us in Germany. Mille Grazie. Parking spaces nearby.

Perfect reception and a lot of cordiality, human warmth. Room with the atmosphere of a 'lived-in' home with notes of design mixed with classic furniture. Carefully prepared breakfast with an exciting view of the facade of a historic and important church in Catania. Exceptional location right in the center, steps away from the cathedral and the city's main attractions.

Palazzo del 700 con stile un po' bohemienne.
Proprietario molto gentile e premuroso.
Stanze tutte con bagno privato e molto confortevoli.
Posizione strategica nel centro storico di Catania.
Consigliato.

Fuimos con niños y resultó un lugar perfecto, precioso, con un trato maravilloso. Tuvimos un serio problema a la llegada a Sicilia con el alquiler del coche (con Avis) y la propietaria del B&B, Lea, se volcó con nosotros y nos buscó una buena solución rápidamente, cuando parecía que nuestro tour por la isla se venía abajo. Hizo un montón de llamadas hasta dar una solución. Mil Gracias Lea y Francesco desde España!
