Wonderful stay in very clean and stylish, brand new and young B&B suites, complemented by a very friendly and relaxing atmosphere by the hosts and personnel. Very close to the city center of Catania, surrounded by lots of possible visit places. The suite was in perfect condition, very brightfully decorated enabling very welcome balance between work and relaxing during a work related stay. Breakfast was very healthy and wealthy, very cosy and friendly with other international guests... I am convinced I discovered a new "perla di Catania"!

Clean, comfortable and very convenient
We stayed at Palazzo Sisto for the final two days of our holiday in Sicily. As the name suggests the accommodation is contained within part of a former Palazzo, very conveniently located in the centre of Catania. Palazzo Sisto is on the top floor and accessed via numerous flights of a grand marble staircase, whilst your luggage is hoisted from the courtyard below. We were met by a vivacious receptionist who was very helpful. The rooms are modern, well equipped and immaculately presented. Parking is a bit of an issue. For security reasons we elected to use the secure parking recommended at 15 euro per night. On reflection it would have been better to return the car to the airport two days earlier. Breakfast is from 8:30 until 10:00 with a very good selection of sweet and savoury choices. There was no breakfast provided on the second day as we needed to leave by 07:30 to retrieve the car, load the luggage and fill up with fuel before arriving at the airport. We were unable to use vouchers provided for a local cafe as this would have required an even earlier start. The food at the nearby restaurant Trattoria Giglio Rosso was excellent, the house wine probably best avoided. Overall we would highly recommend Palazzo Sisto, although we should have clarified the parking situation before we booked.

Beautiful but high floor with no elevator
It was sparkling clean, everything looks new. Great fresh breakfast. The only downside is the high floor with no elevator.

Very friendly staff
Nice B&B in the heart of Catania. Most area attractions are within walking distance. The staff was EXTREMELY friendly and helpful. The room was very clean/comfortable and the maid service was top notch. The only negative thing about this place is they are located up several flights of stairs and have not yet installed a lift (they will be installing one soon). They do have a hoist to pull your bags up so overall it’s not too bad. I just would not recommend the place to anyone who has issues climbing stairs. For everyone else, I HIGHLY recommend this place. The hospitality from the hosts cannot be beat.

B&B excelente. Personal súper amable, desayuno bueno, con fiambre, pastelería y fruta. Se encuentra en un tercer piso sin ascensor, pero disponen de un montacargas para las maletas. No es hotel por lo que no dispone de esos servicios. Recomendable y muy céntrico
