The check in was lovely and so was the staff. The room condition was not great. There was some mold in the shower and paint peeling in the bathroom as well. There was a horrible septic smell in the room and the outside of the building was full of graffiti. It was not worth paying for a balcony only to look at a dirty area. The location was decent.

Although we didn’t use the room much because it was for one night and we were out all day, check was great. Giuseppe and Clara were very helpful and pleasant. The room had everything we needed and was very neat and clean. It was close to everything. Good location.

This is a lovely hotel once you enter the facility. There is graffiti on the structures around d it. At first I was concerned but once inside it is beautiful. I never felt unsafe walking at night. It’s perfect for all of the historical sights. TONS of places to eat within walking distance. The host made several excellent suggestions. The rooms are huge and shower is very nice!!!! Also breakfast is over the top!

Our room was very charming, well-appointed and clean. Giuseppe was very helpful, going above and beyond in providing us information about Catania and travel options we needed to get around as well as providing transportation to the airport. We didn’t stay long enough to have breakfast. We would highly recommend this B&B to anyone staying in Catania.

Never judge a book by its cover!

On arrival at the small hotel we were shocked at the state of the outside, both the building and the road which looked dirty and had rubbish around. The stairwell was also quite shabby. BUT inside the hotel it was beautifully clean with good facilities. The breakfast, which is served in the rooms, was amazing with so much choice and wonderful tasting coffee and fresh orange juice. Giussepe, the manager, was so helpful with any questions we had especially about getting around on the trains and buses. The hotel is near to a few great cafes and restaurants and a short walk to the main eateries further down the road. I would definitely give this hotel 10/10 if it wasn’t for the surrounding area. But to be honest we found that a lot of Catania was dirty with rubbish in the roads. Giuseppe tries very hard to please those staying at the hotel.

Bringing amazing breakfast in the room in the morning was great experience. The room was very comfortable and nicely decorated. Since the hotel is in the old city center it requires a little effort to get to with luggage. Taxi might be the most convenient. My only thing is the 10AM checkout, hard when you are on vacation, but it is like that in Italy.

We thought this property was amazing. So charming, historical and in a great location with beautiful restaurants close by and the main city a walkable distance. We loved the story of the Palazzo and our hosts were kind enough to deliver breakfast to our room the night before as we had an early flight. We would definitely stay here again.

The hotel is charming and beautiful. The outside of the hotel is not charming. There is a small sign outside of the hotel with the name. You arrive on the main floor and there is no lobby. You. have to walk up to flights of stairs to the lobby. There should be a sign in the main floor welcoming you to the hotel. We had no idea where we were going and no information. The main floor does look sketchy. Otherwise, the rooms are beautiful. Outside of the hotel is not very clean. Lots of graffiti and very dirty.

Is a nice remodel old room but with lot of humidity odor, even the towels (that needs an upgrade were smelling the first day). There is no parking available in the place as we were told and the area feels weird to walk around late at night. We parked 4 block away and paid $25 euros per night 😕 and the only day we left the car in the street we were told to be careful by other tourists for car theft.

Superb

Like many have said, the outside look can be deceiving, but once you enter you find yourself in a clean boutique hotel style with an antique look. Very clean and Giuseppe and Laura very helpful with tips around the city and arranging car transport. Centrally located but in a quiet street. OMG the breakfast has unlimited options and impossible to finish it all. Highly recommend it!
