They were so good to send Jacopino for me at the airport for 25€ that was sooo well worth it. We found the place, I learned how to enter through 3 doors, then he dropped me t a nearby music festival and showed me how to get back. The place is clean, in an accessible area, my room was well appointed with AC and a hair dryer. Great choice if you don’t mind ducking your head in the attic room which was much larger than my $300 Rome room.

Funky b and b, friendly service
Really good sized room in a great part of Catania. Good air con (very much needed as it was 30 degrees at night). Only downside is that it's on 2nd floor with no lift - not usually a problem but big case, high heat is a bad combo

Good Location Near To Centre Of Town
The guest house was ok but not as funky as some of the pictures on their website show. We found the staff ok but not as friendly as other reviews implied. We had arranged a taxi from the airport via the guest house but it failed to show up, when we rang to ask where it was we were told that there was no driver available so had to get our own taxi - this was in fact the same price!. When arriving at guest house, manager apologised for lack of taxi and said it had been booked for the next day! Customer service in Catania certainly needs improvement, waiters, bar staff etc all seemed to be a bit nonchalant with their service and no one was very friendly apart from the one waitress in Cathedral Bar. Catania was ok but we wouldn't visit again

Fall short of expectation for a 3 star B & B
Alessandro is helpful and responsive. Location is convenient. The design of the B&B is interesting. However, need to improve cleanliness of beddings, towels are too rough & old, bathroom seat have cracks and air conditioner has water drippings, etc. Not usual for breakfast not included at B&B... as well.
