This property is lovely and the location can’t be beat for exploring Catania. It is just a few steps from Ursino castle and a couple of blocks from the amazing fish market. The room is spacious and beautiful. But what made it truly exceptional was the amazing care and hospitality of our host, Manuela. My daughter arrived before me and she looked out for her and really helped with check in and communication throughout. Highly highly recommended!

Host was so friendly and gave us many recommendations on what to do for our stay in Catania. We arrived before check in and asked to store our luggage until check in. To our surprise she got the room ready and we were able to check in early. They had breakfast every morning and coffee and water available in the lobby 24/7 which was great. The rooms were spacious and airy and very clean. I would stay here again.

This was a gem of a stay! Although it is a small and intimate space, our room was large and beautiful, with great attention to detail, and a family-style breakfast table. Manuela & Dario, and their on-site colleague, were an absolute delight.

Perfect accommodation, everything clean, fragrant and comfortable. The lady was very nice and helpful, she allowed us to stay earlier, which we very much appreciated with the children. During the day, you can make coffee or tea and have a small breakfast when you leave early. Amazing for us. thank you! Great restaurant st. Antonio nearby.
