  : I would strongly recommend this place. The owners/people working at the reception were extremely friendly. For the value of the money, honesty, I cannot complain about anything.

  : + Big, comfortable bed + Cheap price compared to other BNBs in that area +Air conditioning +Clean room
  : - The staff didn't speak English at all (which is fair, but it definitely made it hard to check in) - Staff kept knocking at our door to tell us something insignificant or something we already knew because of the signs in the hotel or in the room (like don't throw stuff down the toilet, or don't take stuff from the kitchen). All using Google Voice recognition translator, which didn't work very well. - No warm water. To be fair we were there in the middle of summer, but the water wasn't pleasantly cold - it was nearly freezing.

  : We can not leave positive recommendations. Please avoid this place. We ended our holiday time in Sicilia with big stress and disappointment. Please be careful when booking this place!!! The host is not communicating properly and overbooking his property. It was a first time it happened to us, and we used to visit many cities and countries. We slept in hotels, b&B, hostels and it never happened to us.
  : Unfortunately, we cannot recommend this apartment. We have booked a room for 2 persons. We contacted the owner with the message that we are traveling from Taormina to Catania, and we will be later than estimated. The owner assured that it is not a problem, and we need to write 30 min before our arrival. The booking check-in time was marked till 21:30. We arrived before 21:00 and the owners were claiming that the place is closed since 19:00. They closed us the doors in front of our faces. We tried to call them again. At the beginning nobody wanted to give us clear indications what is happening and if we have our reservation secured. The answers were confusing and not aligned with booking conditions. We asked for clear answer, the owners were repeating that the place is closed and they do not give us a room. We were left in very uncomfortable situations, one day before our flight, which we were supposed to take early morning at 8:00. We had plan to take a shower, sleep a few hours and left the place next morning at 6:00. We were tired after all day of traveling to Catania. The stress was so big that I wanted to cry. It was 21:00 oclock on Saturday, in the middle of summer season and we were without accommodation! The owner simply overbooked the place and did not cancel out reservation. Meanwhile we were waiting, the host was still receiving new guests who were doing check in! Seeing us and after long time of discussing and lack of the communication via booking, the owner booked us some other accommodation. We were forced to pay more for a new place of much lower standard in the ugliest district close to the bus station (with shared bathroom). The district was very unpleasant. On the other hand, there were no other alternatives in such situation :( We appreciate the help of the host, his time to call other place and to bring us there with his private car. On the other hand, it is not a way to manage the bookings. The lack of communication is not understandable.

  : Great location - an easy 15 minute walk into the historic part of Catania, which means in the evening you come back to a much more peaceful location to sleep than if you're staying in the centre.Some nice places around here to eat too - a couple of my favourites - the arancineria on the corner of the street (open late) and Mon Cafe on Corso delle Province for pistachio gelato and great coffee. The B&B is in a palazzo - lovely old rooms with marble floors and high ceilings. The air conditioning - a necessity in Sicily - works great! Comfy bed with crisp white sheets. My room was with a shared bathroom (some have ensuites) but it was always clean and didn't seem to be used by anyone else. The hosts are very welcoming. Will definitely be back here again - next time with my family.

  : Very good rate for a very nice room. Hosts made an effort to communicate through translation apps.
