Christina and her partner went out of their way to ensure my stay was first rate in every way. And the accommodation is both charming and spotlessly clean. If in Catania again I won’t hesitate to stay with them again.

Best B&B Experience in Sicily!

Truly great! Best B&B during our two week long journey through Sicily. The host is welcoming, hospitable and warm, the place is beautifully decorated and uniquely furnished, location is convenient and the breakfast dots the i. Also, we got all this for an affordable price. Rather than just saying «10/10, would recommend», we have also booked it again!

Cristina is a super friendly and open person. We spend 1 night only but we recommend to stay longer. Catania has a lot to offer during the day and at night. Delicious breakfast and familly atmospher being decided to rate Cristinas 5 Balcony by 5 stars. Best regards Jakub and Olga.

Great stay near city center

Rob cordially welcomed us to B&B 5 Balconies even though we arrived late at night. We stayed in a very nice room, but shared two bathrooms with the other three rooms, which was not a problem because they were well equipped and tidy. The B&B provides an excellent breakfast with local bread and fresh fruit and the owners make sure to provide a pastry to your preferences. They also gave us some very nice recommendations for food and drinks around Catania. We can look back on an excellent four night stay and definitely recommend this bed and breakfast, which we found offers a fantastic quality for the price.

We had a truly wonderful experience staying at 5 Balconi.The place was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The location was perfect, making it easy to explore and enjoy the area. The host was super friendly and incredibly helpful, going above and beyond to make sure we had a fantastic holiday. They even created daily plans and recommended places to visit, which made our trip so much easier and more enjoyable. It really felt like they made it their mission to ensure we had the best time possible. Another highlight was the wonderful breakfast served each morning – fresh, delicious, and the perfect way to start the day. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay and would definitely return. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a relaxing, well-organized, and memorable holiday!

Absolutely incredible stay! Everything about Cinco Balconi was amazing. The apartment was spotless, beautifully maintained, and the bed was one of the most comfortable we’ve ever slept in. The breakfasts were absolutely incredible—fresh, delicious, and a perfect way to start the day. But what truly made the difference was the host, Rob. He went above and beyond to help us—even with things that had nothing to do with the accommodation. His kindness, attention to detail, and genuine care made our trip unforgettable. We would absolutely recommend this place to anyone visiting Catania.

The location was ideal, close to all important sites in Catania. Also very convenient to book tours to Etna, Taormina, Syracuse, etc and close to the airport, bus and train stations. What stood out mostly about our stay was the hospitality and kindness of the host Rob as well as a great personalized breakfast. Rob was always available and seemed genuinely happy to answer our questions on places to visit. When we arrived , he sat down with us and gave us a map of Catania with recommendations on where to eat and what to visit. We enjoyed our stay so much that we extended our original 3 night stay to 4 and even returned an extra 3 nights at the end of our tour in Sicile. We highly recommend 5 Balcony.

B&B which feels like a home

Upon arrival, the host sits down with you to design your breakfast and give you valuable advice around town. Very knowledgeable, follow the restaurant recommendations! Breakfast was a real treat, with fresh bread from the bakery. The shared-bathroom situation (two are available, both with showers) was not a problem at all. Our room faced the busy street, with some car noise even at night. Surprisingly, we were not bothered by it. Heavy shutters at the balcony helped and also made the room completely dark. We had a great stay all around!

Rob was such a great host. He really cares for his guests. With such knowledge and information about the area. He helped us locate some really great places to go see and to go for food and drinks. It was nice sharing the place with Rob as well as the other guests where we were able share with each other over a beautiful and tasty spread at breakfast. If we ever return to Catania, 5 Balconi will be our first choice. The rooms are beautiful and the common room is dressed with style. Such a warm and welcoming place to stay. Highly recommended. Thanks Rob!

Rob and Christina are brilliant. Rob is a great chap. Affable, considered and considering with a generous heart and stupendous taste in music. He has an encyclopaedic knowledge of the good, the bad and the rip off in the vicinity; straying from his wisdom is inadvisable. He and Christina have anecdotes aplenty, and Christina in full flow is a sight to behold - a sister cat - her eyes glow. We had an extended stay, so, we had a good look at Rob and Christina's operation and found fault difficult to locate. Everything was cool (It is hot in Catania), clean and up to spec. The rooms are well decorated and appointed with curious photographs of bygone Sicilian times. The eponymous balconies afford a view to the bustling street of car horns, gesticulating arms and convenience store blues. You can sit on the balcony and watch a version of reality unfold and be perfectly content it authentic. The place has a beguiling antiquity, its peeling facades sun brushed in decaying charm, marbled palaces inside, though litter on the streets is problematic and needs addressing. Five Balconi is well located, a short walk from a castle and a fistful of Trattoria. Listen to Rob/Christina, we ventured beyond their advice once and came a cropper. Just think Rob/Christina know best and your holiday will be much improved. I dropped Rob's name at 'Da Antonio' and miraculously got a table without a reservation. We loved Catania and we loved our stay at 5 Balconi with Rob and Christina.
