Very adequate and clean B and B

I had a very pleasant holiday in this nice B and B. The owner supplied good information in advance and during my stay( via WhatsApp). He arranged for Tony, the driver , to collect me from the airport and deliver me there at the end of my stay. The room was large, very clean and they changed the towels and sheets every day. The location is very near a railway station and only a 20 minute walk from downtown. Coffee good. Croissants not.

Nice Location, But Ugly Accomodations

Great location, but room was very small and unattractive (i.e. Very odd wallpaper that did not match very ugly bedspread, etc). They really need to renovate - and decorate so that there is some kind of aesthetic charm!

Very welcoming

Enza, our host in Al Mare in Citta was exceptionally helpful and gave a lot of time to help us get the most out of our stay. The accommodation is basic but good and is kept clean - the air conditioning was a must and worked well. The location is out of the centre of Catania, but well placed for the local 'beach' (mainly rocks, with a little black sand) and swimming - and some good eating places, too. We found Catania to be a good place from which to visit other eastern locations in Sicily, although less of a destination in itself.

The reception was good. The owner was very nice & full of knowledge. She help us with places to eat & things to see. We really liked the place for the price. We get to see how people who lived there lived since the place is right in the city.

Enza accueille les visiteurs trĂšs chaleureusement. Elle est trĂšs disponible pour apporter tous les renseignements et aide necessaires. La chambre est IdĂ©ale pour visiter Catane et s'Ă©loigner facilement en voiture. Elle est confortable et bien Ă©quipĂ©e. Le mĂ©tro et le bus sont Ă  proximitĂ©. Un petit port Ă  l'ambiance "petit village" se situe juste Ă  cĂŽtĂ©. Compter 10/15€ pour rentrer du centre en taxi au tarif de nuit.

Accoglienza e posizione

Ottima posizione, a due passi dalla spiaggetta di San Giovanni Li Cuti e dai bar, ristoranti e pizzerie. Molto tranquillo. La signora Enza ti fa sentire a casa, unica pecca la parete del bagno un po' scrostata, ma son dettagli.

Graziosa sistemazione, vicino al mare, originale.

Ideale per chi cerca una sistemazione diversa dai canonici hotel e piĂč gradevole di anonimi B&B. La camera Ăš ristrutturata in maniera originale e con tocco personale. Comodissimo il poter fare colazione quando si vuole e come si vuole. Una chicca il terrazzino con piccolo (ma emozionante) scorcio sul mare. Letti su un soppalco con scala ripida (da evitare per chi ha problemi motori o bambini piccoli).

Parking dans la rue sans problĂšme particulier Ă  partir du moment que l'on respecte les rĂšgles de stationnement payant le jour (2,40€ la demi-journĂ©e).
