“In the heart of Catania, this bed and breakfast strikes me as a smart choice, particularly for those keen to explore the city's historical center. The proximity to Piazza Duomo and the Stesicoro Metro Station simplifies getting around, while the very early complimentary breakfast is a thoughtful touch for early risers or business travelers. I think the shared kitchen adds a practical element, and the consistently helpful owner seems to be a real asset.”
