The property is in an ideal location with great transport links. I cannot fault the rooms or amenities, every need is catered for. Beds and pillows very comfy and a good breakfast selection in the beautiful dining room. The lovely owner greets you in the morning and is very helpful. If you prefer a traditional, historical and genuine Italian feel, then this is the accommodation for you.

As an old castle, it has passages and rooms between bedrooms. Rooms are large; bathrooms have steps into them. Light fixtures are older, and lighting is somewhat limited in the rooms. The hotel concierge is very accommodating.

Firstly, the staff was excellent and the building beautiful. We did not have breakfast but could see what was pre prepped for the next day and the owner even allowed us to get coffee and a yogurt in the AM but we did not. We did get a water for the road. We had an early flight out the next morning, so we could not experience breakfast but I am sure it would have been quite a spread. Room was clean but warm so we opened our balcony window for the breeze but because of a festival going on, it was quite noisy at midnight. Parking was atrocious. The street it is on was lined with tents (closed vendors) where google maps wanted to take us. A local on the street did not let us squeeze down this street and because so many streets were one way or blocked created quite an issue to get there. At one point, the Nissan crossover could not fit around the corner of a street and we had to go up on a curb to turn the corner. This is not the fault of the owner. But simply if we would have know about closed streets, we would have not booked there. We did park on the street which since we were leaving the hotel at 6 AM, the owner said we should be fine. It appears that we were. Elevator was broken so we had to go up three flights of stairs with our luggage. Thank you to the owner for trying to make the accommodation the best he could in the given circumstance.

Would not recommend this hotel. I arrived with the taxi service provided by the hotel ( paid extra) and when I arrived I was not called to check in. Manager stated they had no water. Why did he not tell me this prior to after check in time. I was left with finding a last minute hotel at 6pm. Manager did offer another hotel but was not the same ratings as this one . Bad communication as I should of been told of this prior to arrival

Great location, in the center of Catania, within walking distance from major attractions, shops and restaurants. The building is from the 18th century, so don't expect anything modern. The rooms are clean, big and in fairly good condition.

A good stay in good location, fix a few things

The hotel is great and in a wonderful spot. The gentleman who greeted me was great and helpful. I would correct a few things- additional pillows, the AC was not cold, and maybe install a water fountain or machine. the place had a coffee machine and hot water which was great! overall, i would stay there again.

Very nicely located.

I really liked the location and the decor of the building - inside and out. The pricing is very reasonable and the staff is great. I had a large room with private, external, bathroom down the hall. Room was great; bathroom sadly had some issues with water leaking onto the floor, but this was duly reported to the management, so should not be a problem in future.

Well located; advise arrival time in advance

I enjoyed my stay here. Although the reception is not 24/7 (as they warn us) and is often unmanned during the advertised hours i found the reception team very friendly and helpful. My room (202) was very spacious and looked over the main street; aircon worked ok. WIFI great. Location is excellent. Good value.

The front room ib the Baroque style is a total selling point. The fact you have to check in by 10pm is a bit harder when on later flights. You need to arrange codes etc. That can be stressful to arrange.
