Excellent structure in a strategic location on the central street of Catania. (Via Etnea). Excellent cleanliness. Very quiet. Room of good size. View with a small balcony overlooking the pedestrian street. The owner is very helpful. We were able to leave our luggage in the structure after check-out time. The directions he provided were also very helpful.

The owner Mr. Andrea was very helpful and gave us a lot of advice. The B&B is very close to the bus stop from the airport (2 minutes walk) and is located in the center of Via Etna, so it is very convenient to go anywhere. Even though it is located on the street, it was quiet because of the double glazed windows. The bathroom was new, clean and perfectly fine. Breakfast was satisfying enough with plenty of bread and cakes available. (It was a surprise for us that we could eat there 24/7, not only at breakfast time!) We highly recommend this B&B.

The B&B is located in the city center and the rooms overlook via Etnea (the shopping street). You can walk to all the main attractions in Catania and you are in the shopping area. There are many restaurants and bars nearby as well as pharmacies and supermarkets. The manager is very helpful and easygoing. The Alibus stop to and from the airport is right in front of the building exit. The room is as shown in the photos on the website and is equipped with the necessary amenities as well as a minibar for an extra charge. The breakfast is good and is "self-managed": all the (good) products are available to guests who can take care of it independently, managing the timings as well.
