Perfect location for this B&B
Our first concern,: there is no street sign to identify this business. Lucky the cleaning lady came to let is in. Give us the keys of the room, Pepa was very helpful in providing information for what to explore around. The breakfast was very good. This establishment is well dated, I believe there never had a deep cleaning. Pictures of the bedroom was true, however the advertisement does not show pictures of the bathrooms, there is a good reason, shower stall is no more than 5 SQ feet, I did found difficulty in go in and out. The location was very central and easy access to downtown.

A wonderful host named Peppa in a great setting.
I had a wonderful 3 night stay. My room was big and comfortable, with a Patio overlooking a square and the sea but the best of the whole stay was Peppa. She made me feel very welcome and taken care of despite being really busy. She gave me tips and recommendations of where to eat and which beach to go and just extremely helpful and kind. The B&B is really well situated. It was wonderful to be able to have breakfast on the terrace overlooking the top of St Agatha church and mount Etna. An absolutely wonderful view! I felt very lucky to have found this place and i have recommended it to friends and family already and when i go back to Catania that's where i'll stay again. Thank you Peppa and all for a wonderful stay.

Great place in old town Catania
It's a lovely hotel on the top floor of an old palazzo with roof terraces right next to three important churches in old town Catania, the Duomo the Badia of S. Agata, and S.Placido. My room was spacious with ample storage capacity and a nice terrace overloking the harbor area. The bathroom was fine, including the very Italian necessity of a bidet. The shower stall was quite compact and I had to squeeze tough to get through the corner opening. Breakfasts were great, right to my liking, and were served on another roof terrace by Pepe, the manageresse, who was very helpful during my weeklong stay. The only negative item I can list is that the toilet flushing mechanism has little water pressure and requires patience!

Location is close to the main square. Good breakfast and air-conditioned. A little road noise but the central location means you can’t avoid this. The property is on the top floor and our room had good outside space. Breakfast is outside with view of Etna. I would definitely stay again.

Great customer service and location
the location of the B&B was perfect for visiting different places. The rooms were clean, and Pepa's customer service was great. She gave good advice on where to go and what to do. We recommend this place to stay when visiting Catania.

This is a completely beautiful B&B hotel. Th room was gorgeous - clean and spacious. Very nice breakfast. Pepe was super in providing lovely cappuccinos and making me welcome. The most wonderful thing about this hotel is the amazing roof terrace with spectacular views... a lovely place to spend the evening watching the sunset with a glass of Etna wine with Etna gently smouldering (whilst I was there) in the distance. Fabulous place.

Bon emplacement au centre, service agreable, propre dans l'ensemble. Pas possible de profiter de la Terrasse, pas de parasols. Pas de transport pour ce rendre a la plage comme stipulé dans la description de l'hotel. Douche tres étroite pour personne de forte taille.

Très bien placé, belle vue.
Hôtel très bien placé, seul inconvénient le stationnement, même si nous avons réussi à trouver des places à moins de 500m en tournant un peu. Super endroit pour prendre le petit déjeuner, sur le toit avec une belle vue sur la ville et l'Etna. Balcon dans la chambre, chambre propre et confortable. Seul petit bémol, les toilettes avec une chasse qu'il faut tirer 1/2h pour faire partir une feuille de papier. Niveau emplacement, nous sommes allés à Taormine, Syracuse puis direction Agrigente. Pour aller à Taormine ou l'Etna, c'était un cauchemar pour arriver à la sortie de la ville, il a fallu tout traverser parmi des siciliens conduisant n'importe comment et dans de petites rues. Pour les autres destinations, la sortie est proche donc pas de problème. Donc si vous n'allez qu'au nord de Catania, envisagez plutôt un hébergement plus proche de la sortie ou même ailleurs. Sinon, c'était parfait.

Accogliente
Alloggio situato vicino al centro storico, a pochi passi dalla Cattedrale di S. Agata e da Palazzo Biscari. Struttura molto carina, ben tenuta, nonostante il palazzo in cui si trova il B&B abbia bisogno di qualche intervento di restauro. Il proprietario e la responsabile sono molto gentili, presenti e attenti alle richieste dei clienti. La colazione è ottima e può essere consumata nella splendida terrazza che dà sui tetti della città. Davvero una struttura da segnare in agenda se si vuole visitare Catania!

Maravilhoso San Placido!
Uma surpresa. Em um edifício antigo, no 4 andar, encontra-se este maravilhoso lugar. O quarto era bem espaçoso, o ar condicionado perfeito, com uma área privativa externa excelente, com vista a vários pontos da cidade. Fui muito bem tratado por Pepa durante toda a estadia. Existe ainda uma amplo espaço comum externo. Fabuloso. Excelente café da manha.
