Excellent property, very clean and welcoming, with a view of Etna and a strategic location for visiting various places in the Catania area. Antonio, the owner, is very attentive and helpful and makes you feel at home. I highly recommend it. I will definitely return.

giovanni

We stayed at B&B CasAnsaldo from August 16th to 23rd. The owner Antonio was very kind from the beginning to the end, always very helpful for any needs and advice on how to get around the area. For breakfast (included in the price) I gave a 7 because everything was good, but it's not a buffet and with few variations, even though it was communicated beforehand. Excellent value for money/location. Recommended!

The answer from the host:
Ciao Giovanni, grazie ancora per averci scelto e per il tempo dedicato alla recensione. In merito alla nota della colazione, informo te ed i futuri ospiti che la colazione non può più essere a buffet, e non deve esserlo, causa Covid, secondo le indicazioni in materia alberghiera dell'Organizzazione Mondiale della Sanità e di tutte le associazioni italiane di categoria alberghiera ed extralberghiera. Cordiali saluti, Antonio.

consuelo

Extremely positive review. Excellent value for money; absolutely winning and invaluable the presence of Antonio, the owner, extremely affable, very helpful, sensitive, with a unique tact, professionalism, and kindness, never found elsewhere. Covid prevention rules rigorously respected. Staying at the property allowed us to visit all the main points of interest on the east coast of Sicily in one week, and more. Also vital, in this sense, were Antonio's suggestions for planning the most profitable itineraries. I recommend without a doubt staying at this property.

Thanks to Antonio we felt at home. He gave us advice on what to visit, where to eat, and mostly on how to get around. I highly recommend this B&B. We will gladly return.

Nice structure close to all the attractions of the area, parking without problems and Antonio, the owner of the structure, very friendly and well-informed for all the excursions you have in mind to do, highly recommended.

adriana

I stayed two nights with my boyfriend (1-2 June) ! The B&B CasAnsaldo is very nice, comfortable, and clean! The owner is very kind and helpful! Maybe one thing is missing: a mosquito net (not a curtain like the one that was there) on the French door of the rooms, essential to open a bit and let air in without being eaten by mosquitoes! Otherwise, nothing to say! We will probably return!

A truly perfect place for holidays, quiet, very clean and managed with great courtesy by Mr. Antonio.

antonella

Excellent value for money. Ideal location for visiting Mount Etna, Taormina, Castelmola, the Alcantara Gorge, the Cyclops Riviera (Acitrezza, Aci Castello, etc.) and Catania. All about half an hour away (for Etna 40-60 minutes max). Excellent, friendly, and caring owner. Ready to advise you on destinations and excursions. Good breakfast with fresh croissants every morning. Spacious and quiet room. Perhaps a bit dark for my standards, but a negligible detail. Bed quite comfortable. Bathroom normal, small but in line with other similar structures. In short, I would absolutely recommend it for visiting the northeastern coast of Sicily.
