We were a little leery arriving after hours but the instructions we received were fantastic and we appreciated the communication before, during and after our stay. This place is a hidden gem with its fountain the courtyard and amazing views. We appreciated the elevator as we had heavy luggage. Our room was very nice and extremely clean. Large beautiful white doors opened to a balcony overlooking the square. It was very conveniently located to many restaurants. We appreciated our one night stay before we headed out for an early flight. I especially appreciated the hair dryer and toiletries provided.

The gate getting into the property was not so obvious from the street took some time to find it . Getting into the gate was fine once you located it . The entrance into the building was sketchy to say the least , once you get over that part of it and get upstairs to the apt it was fine . The girl was sitting at the desk as you enter the B and B. There are approx . 6 rooms and each room is for other guests . The room was fairly clean but the worst was the mattresses they literally had huge indents in them and very difficult to sleep . I recommend the owners change the mattresses if they don't want complaints . The bottom left side of the shower had a leak and the water has damaged the trim around the door , it was black and mouldy . Other then these couple of things the place was adequate for the 1 nite stay that I had to stay in Catania. Its location is very close to the Main Street which is convenient.

Unreliable services and indifferent attitude

We have arrived the hotel and checked in around 1:30pm. Afterwards, we went out for sightseeing. When we backed to hotel at around 8pm, we wanted to take shower but found that there was no water supply in the room. We texted to the hotel staff and wanted to know what had happened. They replied that there was water interruption and they were now working to fix the problem. Later, they said that it was not their fault as the water suspension was not their responsibility. They said the water would resume for next hours. However, there was no water supply all during the night and even not resumed in the next morning when we checked out at 10 am. The staff actually just excused their responsibility and nothing to comfort their customers. We didn’t have water to wash our face and brushed our teeth! I thought they should let us have some bottles of water but no one care about our needs. You may see their response in the text they responded to my worries!!!

It was a great property and surprisingly offered private parking in the middle of the busy city! (There isn’t real clear signage on the street, be aware you have to look for a big black metal gate to enter the property.) We were able to walk everywhere and the piazza and sights were SO close. We had a big jacuzzi tub, beautifully painted high ceilings, and the bed was comfortable. We definitely recommend, especially if you’re coming off a long flight into the Catania airport.
