Guest reviews
Very good
Liked: The location was so good!
Beautiful & Clean B&B Centrally located on top of the Catania Market with view of Etna
Liked: Wonderful & Spotless Clean B&B, right above the Central Catania Farmers & Clothes Market. The room was very comfortable and included a balcony. The hosts are the kindest and most hosbitable ladies! They also let me store my bag after check out for my late night flight. Easy access to the center of the town and just a block away from the Alibus stop to the airport, the train station and bus stops. Lots of restaurants, coffee shops, supermarkets and shops around. It was my second time staying here, and I will definitively come back again. Highly recommended! Grazie Tante Belle Donne!
Liked: It's a comfortable place, with a good location. It has a good system to make check-in easy and communication is fast. We had a nice and good experience.
Felt very comfortable and safe, lovely central location right over the old market
Liked: Homely environment ♡
Liked: Only the location was good as it was close to everything.
Disliked: We were extremely disappointed with our stay. We had booked 2 private rooms, but when we arrived we discovered that they were actually located inside a larger apartment that had been divided into several smaller rooms!! In other words, we essentially stayed in a hostel and this is something that was absolutely not clear from the Booking.com description!! Several important details were not mentioned at the time of booking: -Although our rooms had private bathrooms, the other rooms in the apartment did not. With that said, we saw people going from the bathroom to their rooms almost wearing nothing. -The shared kitchen was not mentioned either. We knew that our room would have a mini fridge and a coffee machine, but we did not expect to share a full kitchen and its facilities, including the fridge, coffee machine, oven, etc.!! -Since we are talking about an apartment you understand that there was 0 sound insulation. We heard a guy from the next room playing his flute for more than 1 hour. Even though they tried to clean the rooms we stayed in, they felt really filthy because the whole apartment & building were extremely old and poorly maintained. Even the elevator was problematic. It would not work unless the inner door was properly closed, meaning that if someone else in the building left it open, we had to walk up and down 4 floors. Unfortunately, the owner we met spoke 0 English, so we were unable to properly communicate all this with him. The moment we arrived and were shown this old apartment was honestly a shock. Thankfully it was just a 1 night stay so the next morning we checked out and left. We paid 72 euro per room, per night, which was absolutely not worth the price. The biggest issue is that the accommodation was presented as private rooms without making it clear that they were actually rooms inside a shared apartment, essentially a hostel setup!!
Fair stay
Liked: Location is nice. Room has a nice balcony where we watched the great mountaion of Etna erupting. Keep your head up so you will not see the - not very clean - local market. Do not get me wrong, local markets are great to visit but not to live next to them. There is a nice common kitchen with a fridge that could be useful sometimes. The owner was nice to allow us a 1-hour early check-in.
Disliked: We had a room that looks to a very noisy and dirty square.There is a daily market that starts 5 a.m and at night loud music past midnight. Cleaning starts at very early morning so hard to get enough sleep. We accidentally lost the building key in the very wide gap of the elevator, we informed the owner honestly and she asked us to pay 10€..fair? Maybe, but definately not the nicest thing. The elevator itself is old as it can be,mostly not coming due to people leaving the doors open. The location is nice but the very street of the building's door is a bit... wonky.
