I highly recommend this property for visitors to Catania! The father and son team who operate the B&B were both friendly and generous, and accommodated all of our travel requests. The location was convenient, only a short walk (~10 minutes) to many shops and restaurants. Our room had a great view of Mount Etna and was clean and spacious. At breakfast each morning there was a wide variety of food (cereal, fruit, muffins/cake, toast, etc.) and it was all excellent: a great way to start the day. The neighborhood looks a bit rough, but I always felt safe. Final word: an excellent home base for your visit to western Sicily!
