Description

La Dagala is a tourist facility born from the renovation of part of a building dating back to the 1930s. The spaces have been equipped with all the necessary services to make the stay comfortable and enjoyable. A fully air-conditioned apartment offers two independent rooms, each with a double bed and a double sofa bed, a fully equipped kitchen with a set of utensils, a bathroom with a shower cabin, a spacious and furnished terrace, Wi-Fi, TV, and complimentary toiletries for guests. The offer is completed by three rooms with private bathrooms, air conditioning, TV, Wi-Fi, and complimentary toiletries, as well as a reserved area in the shared kitchen/veranda. Breakfast is typically Italian, but we can accommodate different needs or desires. The road facing the structure is quiet because of low traffic, but the neighborhood is lively as there are numerous shops. A few hundred meters away, important city arteries intersect, leading to the sea, the port, and the A18 and A19 highways. The metro stop is 200 meters away, a convenient means to reach the historic center in 15 minutes. Additionally, the Alibus stop on Corso Italia, 500 meters away, provides a 40-minute connection to the airport with a frequency of approximately 25 minutes.

Hey from Antonino Giuseppe

Acquiring ownership of the apartment has pushed me towards a new project, to create and manage a guest-house while continuing to deal with customers but in a totally new context. Creating a comfortable environment, offering high quality services, always inventing new and imaginative ways to satisfy the wishes and needs of those traveling for work or leisure have proved to be stimulating and rewarding activities. I believe that the best approach to wisely manage a B&B is to look at your work with the eyes of a traveler who wants to feel at ease wherever he goes.

Area mid-centre

The area is lively because it is full of commercial activities for the sale of goods and services, there are supermarkets, take-away pizzerias and restaurants in the immediate vicinity. Only a little further away, important urban arteries intersect. A 10-minute walk takes you to the elegant Corso Italia and from there down to the sea. The metro station is 150 meters away and represents the ideal way to reach the historic center by getting off at the "Stesicoro" station.

What guests say

Reviews highlight a spotless, modern, and well-designed property with functional and comfortable spaces. Guests consistently praise the outstanding hospitality and helpfulness of the hosts, who are a major asset. The location is convenient—close to the center, metro, and shopping areas. Breakfast is generous, varied, and often includes fresh local products. Overall, the value for money is considered excellent. The recurring minor downside is the difficulty of finding parking nearby, which is a general issue in Catania, not specific to the property. This accommodation is well-suited for those seeking genuine hospitality, comfort, and cleanliness.

I stayed two nights with my little dog. We were welcomed without problems and with great kindness. The property is presentable, functional and above all very clean. The host was very kind and helpful. The only downside, which is due to Catania and not the property, is the parking cost: they charged me €20 for one night. In another parking lot I paid €10 for two hours for dinner. Madness. The municipality should step in with regulations on maximum prices. It is fair to pay for the service, but this is really disgusting; I paid almost as much for parking as for dinner.

The property is beautiful and spotless, extremely convenient for the city center and very close to the subway, but above all the owner showed a rare kindness and willingness to help, to say the least, which made me feel at home and for which I will never stop being grateful.

What can I say? Really wonderful welcome. I hope to come back soon. It was really nice to be able to experience firsthand the sense of a job well done. We always emphasize what doesn't work and what can be improved, as it should be. But right now, I only have a heart full of thanks!

Friendly and very helpful manager, unique structure with cozy rooms located 5 minutes from the metro that leads directly to the center. The only downside is the lack of parking.

Grazie Chiara, è stato un piacere ospitarvi!

gianluca

Definitely the best experience of the last few years. Cleanliness, attention to detail, and maximum availability. Breakfast? In addition to everything that was in the apartment, every morning we were provided with a tray of fresh pastries. Highly recommended.

elisabetta

B&B outside the city center but very well connected thanks to the subway. Small but clean room equipped with everything necessary, very comfortable (maybe just a bit dark). The manager was always available and kind, even in providing breakfast ingredients (abundant and with traditional products) according to our intolerances. Excellent solution at a great price!

stayed from 04/25/2023 to 04/30/2023

francesco

A big thanks to the Manager Giuseppe, who has been available since the booking of the rooms. The structure was perfect for our needs, about twenty minutes walk from the center but for those who want, there is a metro stop 300 meters away. Good breakfast, also fresh pastries available. For the rest, it's self-service.
