I would like to share my opinion about the breakfast, which is average. Italy is the country of cheese! It would be good to provide two varieties of sliced cheese instead of this vacuum-packed cheese. The croissant basket is too sweet! Consider offering a plain brioche for those who prefer it. I would suggest the owner to increase the room rate by 10 € per person and improve the breakfast (children free). The coffee is delicious; I used to drink 3 or 4 espressos every morning! Thank you for your great generosity, kindness, and hospitality. If any of my friends wants to come to Catania, I will definitely recommend your establishment. Long live Italy and the Sicilians. You are lovely.

Splendid bed and breakfast of charm in an elegant historic palace, very well cared for in the details, extremely clean, with an optimal location to visit the historic center of Catania as it is located in the very central Via Garibaldi. Excellent check-in with Mrs. Mariangela who provided very useful advice. Very friendly the owner with whom we had a long and pleasant conversation. Not to forget the friendliness and sympathy of the lady who takes care of the cleaning. In short, a perfect stay! Thank you for the hospitality and we hope it's a goodbye!

Our stay at Palazzo degli Affreschi was perfect. From the welcome, the person told us what we should visit. The room was comfortable and the B&B's location allowed us to visit Catania on foot. The breakfast was good and varied. It is worth noting that the parking, even if paid, is a plus because it is difficult to park. We will come back with pleasure.

We were in Catania for just one day and we couldn't have stayed in a better place in terms of both structure and location. The room was very cute with a little balcony, tastefully furnished and very clean. All the staff were extremely kind and helpful. They gave us great tips on how to get to the most interesting places - all very close and within walking distance - and on restaurants. It's worth mentioning a plentiful and delicious breakfast and the convenience of parking in the inner courtyard. Moreover, the owner was very kind to allow us to leave the car in the parking for a few extra hours. We had a great time and will definitely come back!

The housekeeper, on her part, even made pasta for the sick child at her home and then delivered it to me. What can I say, if you find a property with such staff... all talk of reviews at Barbieri immediately fades. Thank you for the hospitality.

The answer from the host:
Gentile Rosaria, Siamo veramente dispiaciuti che, a quanto pare, non abbiate apprezzato il nostro "venirvi incontro" nel momento in cui, vi è stata data la possibilità di recuperare una prenotazione che era stata da voi cancellata oltre il tempo utile per non incorrere nella penale e che dunque avrebbe comportato il pagamento dell'intero soggiorno senza fruirne. Inoltre, visto la vostra impossibilità di fare la colazione all'orario PREVISTO e FISSATO, vi sono state date delle indicazioni per effettuare la stessa autonomamente al di fuori della struttura con lo storno dell'importo aggiuntivo che avreste dovuto versare. Alla luce di tutto ciò, vi ringraziamo per "esserci venuti incontro" esprimendo questo opinabile giudizio. Cordiali Saluti Palazzo degli Affreschi

The attention of Mariangela and Carmela is fantastic. The rooms are beautiful and super clean although the views are not good. The breakfast is very correct with delicious croissants. We were able to have breakfast early by preparing it ourselves, which made our day planning much easier. The parking lot is small and a bit tight but turned out to be very practical. The beds are impeccable and very comfortable. It is not on the main street but in a 5-minute walk you get there. I would come back without hesitation.
