Locatie in Catania is in het centrum, maar je hebt geen last van de drukte. Al met al een prima plek, niet uitzonderlijk maar gewoon goed. Zeker voor 1 of 2 nachtjes. Ontbijt is bij een tentje om de hoek, was ook gewoon prima.
Het bed was te hard, maar dat is ook een persoonlijke voorkeur
Locația exactă în centrul orasului, camera spațioasă, baia mare și curată, totul a fost ok.
A fost cam greu sa comunicam cu gazda. Am venit cam devreme și probabil nu erau pregătiți, dar am fost cazați imediat.
De service was uitstekend en de inrichting van de ruimtes was prachtig!
Die Unterkunft ist schön gelegen und sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet! Für alle die gutes Design lieben ist diese Unterkunft genau richtig! Das Zimmer war sehr hell und das Bett bequem. Chiara ist eine sehr angenehme Gastgeberin und hat uns herzlich empfangen.
Great place! Very close to everything you might need and the historic centre. The hotel was very well labeled - we had no trouble finding the entrance. The owner was also very welcoming and showed us everything. It is not that complicated to get to the apartament, as people have said
What a stylish place to stay! You would not believe this ultra modern hotel was behind an old building with large door leading into a courtyard. The location is so central but still very quiet. I would definately stay here again. Thank you Zahara.
Nothing.
The property was very well located, extremely clean and beautifully renovated

La struttura é in pieno centro storico e la nostra camera aveva affaccio sii tetti di Catania. Abbiamo soggiornato qui per una sola notte ed é stato tutto perfetto. In più inclusa nel soggiorno c’é la colazione in un bar buonissimo. Consiglio
Tutto
Central, perfect for one night stay.
The shower had some mold in the walls. The breakfast is a voucher for a near by cafe. The only food options are a croissant or a brioche. It would have been nice to have other healthier options as well.
Great location, everything is very close, restaurants, parking. Very comfortable room, amazing bed and pillows, little balcony for a cup of coffee in the morning with a stunning view on Italian rooftops.
Everything was lovely and the owner was very accommodating and kind!

La Posizione è comodissima, le stanze e la struttura sono davvero incantevoli con interventi di ristrutturazione moderni e funzionali. La vista dal balconcino è piacevole e la colazione da Prestipino è sempre buonissima. Chiara è sempre gentile e disponibile ad ogni richiesta.
Superfint rum, lyxig känsla, underbar utsikt. Supertrevlig tjej som mötte oss och gick igenom allt. Superbra läge och nära till restauranger och shopping. Skön säng.
Vi tyckte om allt.
The design and location. Also, very clean and comfortable bed
Had no window screen and the seiling was too high to kill the mosquitos 😅
Amazing view and location
There is nothing that we did not like. But I advise to check toilets door as it was closing not enough.
Chiara was very very helpful!
Eine wunderschöne Unterkunft mitten in der Altstadt von Catania und trotzdem erstaunlich ruhig gelegen – etwas zurückgesetzt in einer kleinen Seitengasse ohne Autoverkehr. Von hier aus lässt sich die Stadt wunderbar zu Fuß erkunden; die wichtigsten Sehenswürdigkeiten, Restaurants und Cafés sind alle in unmittelbarer Nähe. Die Räume sind außergewöhnlich sauber, sehr liebevoll eingerichtet und wirklich hervorragend genutzt. Besonders schön fanden wir auch das Konzept der Unterkunft: Sie befindet sich in einer großen Wohnung mit mehreren einzelnen Apartments bzw. Zimmern, dazu gibt es einen sehr gepflegten gemeinsamen Aufenthaltsbereich. Schon der Moment, wenn man aus dem Treppenhaus in diese ruhigen, angenehm kühlen und wunderschönen Räume tritt, ist jedes Mal eine kleine Wohltat. Chiara ist eine unglaublich herzliche und aufmerksame Gastgeberin und sofort erreichbar, wenn man eine Frage hat oder irgendetwas braucht. Man fühlt sich wirklich bestens aufgehoben. Auch das inkludierte Frühstück in den nahe gelegenen Cafés hat uns sehr gut gefallen und war eine schöne Möglichkeit, direkt ein bisschen Catania zu erleben. Wir haben uns hier rundum wohlgefühlt und würden jederzeit wiederkommen. Eine kleine Oase mitten im Herzen der Stadt.
Nichts.
Ev sahibi cok guleryuzlu ve misafir perverdi, rezervasyon yapar yapmaz gerekli bilgileri mesaj ile ilettiler. Katanya ya erken vardigimiz icin oda musaitse giris yapmak icin ricada bulunduk ve yardimci oldular. Oda gayet temiz ve konforluydu, konumu her yere cok yakin. Tipik bir Katanya sokaginda, cevresinde restoranlar yer aliyor. Odada microdalga firin, su istici vb temel mutfak ihtiyaclari icin malzemeler var. Kahve kapsulleri ve antepfistikli kurabiye icin ayrica tesekkurler. Kucuk, sevimli balkonda sabah bir kahve icmek keyifliydi.
Отличное местоположение. Рядом все достопримечательности. Отличные рестораны и тратории. Завтрак,надо пройти метров 100 до кофейни.. 2 напитка и одна выпечка на выбор из списка. В номере есть кофемашина с капсулами,чай.
Нет минусов
It was a great place to stay the night before our flight. Clean, great AC and a wonderful host.
Situata in una posizione centralissima, accogliente e dotata di ogni comfort. La stanza molto bella, bellissimo il design e la vista dal balconcino. Ottima l’accoglienza: Chiara sempre gentile e disponibile.
Location & breakfast
Nothing
Het verblijf bevond zich op een top locatie in het centrum van Catania. We hebben onze auto geparkeerd op een grote parkeerplaats in de buurt (parking Bosellino) en toen was het nog 6 minuten lopen naar het verblijf. Het verblijf was heel netjes, schoon en ruim. We zouden zeker terugkomen.

Das Zimmer war großzügig und licht und stylisch schlicht eingerichtet. Das Bett groß und bequem. Obwohl das B&B sehr zentral liegt, iat es sehr ruhig und es war sehr schön, die Abendstimmung auf dem kleinen Balkon zu genießen. Das gebuchte Frühstück konnte in einem Traditionscafé in der Nähe eingenommen werden. Alles war sehr originell.
Unfassbar geniale Unterkunft direkt in der Altstadt von Catania. Schöne Einrichtung, sehr modern; schöner Balkon, tolle Umgebung, und super Frühstück. Und sehr gute Kommunikation mit der Gastgeberin.
Nichts
Fabulous location beside a lovely piazza with restaurants and a lovely chilled vibe compared to other parts of Catania. Beautiful view from balcony and breakfast voucher for nearby cafe was a nice touch. The owner was very helpful and made communication throughout our stay . I would definitely stay here again .
A light above shower would have been good
L'habitació molt amplia, tot i que la dutxa era una mica petita. El check in va ser molt facil. L'esmorsar és en una cafeteria propera, bona qualitat.
Wunderbares Design, sehr individuell und sehr spannend. Betten super. Chiara super. Alles super. Kann ich jedem empfehlen.

Apprezzati, posizione, dimensioni della camera, la vista e la presenza di una piccola zona cucina.
Potrebbe essere un problema per qualcuno la mancanza della TV.
Amazing location. Clean rooms, highly recommend! Daily breakfast is awesome as well.
The main door may be in a dark area of Catania, but not a big deal.
Location and style of the place were excellent. Comfort of the room was great!
The large communal doors were closed at night (despite a sign saying not to close them), and no key was provided for access. Had to wait for a resident to appear for us to enter.
Perfect location. Very nice and helpful host. Good communication👍🏽Nice room .
Nothing! We will return next time in Catania!
Zahara surprised me very much. The property couldn’t be more centric and although i booked shortly prior to arrival, the host Chiara, made all Easy and Super quick for check in. Comfortable bed, climatized rooms, nice retreat area, excellent price/quality ratio.
It has nothing to do with the property: the coffee where you should get the Italian breakfast was not prepared to offer what was expected, shortly before 8.
Das Zimmer hat alles was man benötigt und die Lage ist unlängst vom Zentrum Catanias und dennoch ruhig gelegen. Chiara war für uns jederzeit erreichbar, was wirklich eine Herausforderung für sie war, da unser Flug aufgrund einer Eruption des Ätna nach Palermo umgeleitet wurde und wir dort mitten in der Nacht gestrandet sind. Großen Dank an dich, dass du immer auf Abruf standest :)
Wenn man was zu meckern hätte, dann wäre evtl. Mehr Ablagefläche für Kleidung toll, ansonsten alles super :)
Zentrale Lage, netter Empfang, stylische Einrichtung
Stanza semplice e molto bella nel centro di Catania.
Nulla
Nice location, stylish room
Communication with owner was difficult and breakfast is not on site
Great rooms with AC. It's not really a hotel but rather rooms/apartment style(located in the apartment building) it is spacious with a big window. The staff is amazing, very helpful. Didnt have time to try the breakfast, it is in a cafe nearby. The city itself felt unsettling for a solo female traveler. Other than that very well!
The perfect location for restaurants and sights, possible to walk to all within minutes from a very quiet position just away from the crowds. Plenty of local non-tourist restaurants nearby.
Absolutely nothing to dislike
Good design, perfect location, responsive staff.
La colazione non viene servita in struttura ma bensì viene dato un tks per una consumazione al bar
orribile le foto della struttura sono fraudolente.
Det var bra läge och hade AC i det varma vädret.
Jag upplevde att personalen var ointresserad, det var inte rent och matchade inte bilderna.
Clean, modern and comfortable room in a great location
This was our last stay during our road trip and it was the best. Comfy beds, great location. And great design, definitely worth it. The breakfast at the caffe was good, nothing special. Since we had the option to pick something salty instead of a pastry for breakfast, we were happy.
Can't find anything negative to say, which is rare.
camera bella e pulita. anche nuova.
La struttura è centrale. Pulita ed arredata con uno stile minimal molto bello. Proprietari gentilissimi
Niente
The room was fantastic and very well-sized, with a modern design and all the necessary amenities readily available. The highlight of the stay was definitely the view, which was absolutely incredible and magnificent all on its own. Additionally, the location is unbeatable; it is highly central, meaning the main area is literally right at your doorstep, which was incredibly convenient for saving time and minimizing extra walking.
The only minor issue was the shower setup. The shower head is fixed directly to the ceiling, which makes it a bit inconvenient when you just want to take a quick shower without getting your hair wet. Having a handheld option would be a great improvement, but otherwise, there were no problems at all and I would definitely stay here again.
Als je aankomt, dan denk je waar ben ik terechtgekomen. Kom je eenmaal op de 3e verdieping (met lift of trap) dan is het geweldig mooi. We waren met een groep van 6 en hadden 3 kamers. Kamers zijn erg mooi en groot. Ook geweldig uitzicht op de stad. De accommodatie ligt midden in het centrum op loopafstand van de bezienswaardigheden en restaurants. Wij gingen vanuit hier met cruise mee en hoefden maar 12 minuten naar de cruiseterminal te lopen. Het ontbijt is op een pleintje 150 meter van de accommodatie. Je kan kiezen uit drie dingen en de rest kan je erbij kopen. De accommodatie is echt een geweldige plek en hier gaan we zeker nog een keer naartoe.
Great very central
Very convenient location for sights and restaurants. The host was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast at a nearby cafe was very good in a nice setting

Super spacious and bright room, it was quiet and managed to get a good nights sleep. The room is a lot better in person and is very impressive. Ideal place to stay. It’s easily accessible to all the local restaurants and tourist spots
No issues :)

Beautiful modern design. Extremely well equipped. Excellent location a stroll from the theatre and main squares
Great location.
The place felt impersonal. It missed warmth and care.
Duży, czysty i ładnie urządzony pokój. Bardzo dobry kontakt z osobą kontaktową. Wygodna lokalizacja w ścisłym centrum. Wygodne duże łóżko.
Great location only minutes from the Piazza and markets. Amazing restaurants within 1 minutes walk
Lokalizacja w centrum, zadbany pokój, uroczy balkonik
Wszystko było ok
The breakfast vouchers were great value on top of the accommodation. Security was Good and we felt very safe.
Beautiful room
Too much noise at night
B&B in posizione molto centrale ma silenzioso. Molto moderno e confortevole. Letto e bagno comodi. Colazione buona in un bar nelle vicinanze
La posizione
Le concessionj al design a volte non combaciano con la comodità
Everything! The room was beautiful and spacious. Location was excellent and Chiara is a great host
sehr freundliche und zuvorkommende Gastgeberin,
Super Lage direkt in der Innenstadt. Sehr netter Kontakt mit der Vermieter, die beim CheckIn behilfich war. Das typisch italienische Frühstück gab es im Cafè Prestipino und bestand aus einem Getränk und zwei Gebäckstücken oder andersherum. Wir fanden es sehr lecker und vollkommen ausreichend! Die Zimmer sind sehr gut ausgestattet und sauber. Ideal für 1-2 Nächte zum Erkunden der Stadt!
Nichts, für uns war alles perfekt!
L’excellente position au cœur de la ville, l’architecture de la chambre à la fois créative et élégante tout en restant pratique, le petit balcon sur la ville.
Location, design, breakfast
Everything was perfect! The communication with the staff was very fast, smooth, and completely hassle-free. The apartment was spotless, very comfortable, and the view from the window was absolutely amazing. The location was also great — close to the city center with many excellent restaurants nearby. It was definitely one of the best places I stayed during my trip to Sicily. I highly recommend this apartment!
These owners did not show to let us in. I rang them and rang the doorbell but no answer. They had changed the phone number from the booking.com site. I had told them what time we were arriving on our initial booking. Very frustrating when you have been travelling for nearly 24 hrs and been on 3 different planes to come to shut doors!
Probably everything
Great location, great communication with host, clean and tidy well priced place to stay. We enjoyed sitting outside on the balcony. Would recommend!
Grösse des Zimmers und die tolle Aussicht!
Der Zugang zum Zimmer. In dieser Gasse ist es sehr schmutzih, überall liegt Müll herum.
Good location. Communication and arrangements for checking in and accessing the apartment were very good. Very clean and well presented.
Posizione centralissima. Camera accogliente, spaziosa e ben arredata. Ottima la colazione al bar. Facile e veloce la comunicazione con l'host.
Servizio di deposito bagagli il giorno del check out a pagamento.
Die Lage ist sehr gut. Alles sehr sauber. Die Fenster haben Schallschut6 und es gibt eine Klimaanlage.
Mit offenem Fenster kann man nicht schlafen, dafür ist es zu laut in der Stadt.
Nice room in the center of Catania. It has no other facilities, you get a voucher for a café a few minutes from the accommodation (which is fantastic! Try the different variations of the options available.). Everything was totally alright, however, we did not feel too comfortable - which is fine for a night or two in a city.
You have to pay 2€ per hour for your lugguage if you decide to leave it at the accommodation after checkout. This is not reasonable, many other hotels offer that for free.
Réactif, central, qualité prix
This room was so, so lovely. Location is excellent, a little back from the main square, which made it more peaceful. Lovely welcome from the host. She explained everything, easy to get into the room using an ordered key system, which was great for me. Clean room, and very comfy bed. The room is basic, but feels very comfortable to be in because of the bigger size.
The fridge was just cold, it didn't seem to reach a fridge temperature. Therefore, not sure I would keep milk in overnight. But fine for storage.
Die Lage ist top. Das Personal sehr nett.
Für einen kurzen Aufenthalt super. Für längere Zeit finde ich persönlich das Zimmer etwas zu klein und es fehlt ein Schrank.
lokalizacja idealna. Kontakt z właścicielką bezproblemowy. apartament duży, wygodny i bardzo ciekawie wykończony. Chiara pozwoliła zostawić walizki na kilka godzin po checkout za drobną opłatą i załatwiła nam bardzo dobrą ekologiczną oliwę (skąd ta oliwa - niech sama opowie :))
nie bądźmy drobiazgowi, wszystko było super
It was fine at a nearby café but I would suggest including that info in the description. People may expect it to be in the building. Clean modern space. Owner Chiara was very helpful & nice.
I think NO TV should also be included in description. (Could there be one in the common area ?) We would also suggest another light in the bathroom.
