Spacious and comfortable room, quiet and clean. Excellent breakfast. Erminia, the host, was very hospitable and accommodating. The location near the sea, removed from the busly city and ideal for star trips with a car. Highly recommended

“A comfortable and quiet stay with all the amenities and balcony, 20 minute walk to Aci Castello.”
Breakfast was provided for a small fee and was the perfect start to the morning, a lovely spread of the essentials and good coffee. Engage (I believe was her name), a member of staff was very helpful providing lots of information about the local area and transport.

Breakfast is exceptional. You can’t dream of anything beyond what’s already given. Even were asked if we would like to have boiled or scrambled egg. Location is comfortable with car (though neighbours done it w/o a car), parking is free. The apartment is nicely furnished with all you need.

I spent a few days at this property and, overall, the experience was pleasant thanks to the location and atmosphere. The accommodation is situated in a quiet, secluded area of the city, perfect for relaxation, and the garden is beautifully arranged — a true corner of peace.

“Family style villa with a high level of cosiness.”
A great place that really felt like home. An intimate cosiness, great hospitality, and very clean. There was also a balcony which was much appreciated. Breakfast was in the garden which also added to the family house atmosphere.

“An absolute lovely Bed & Breakfast”
We were on a four day visit to Catania to attend an Irish family wedding. We arrived rather late in the evening and Erimina our hostess was there to welcome us and allocate the rooms for our party of seven, She was most helpful to us for our entire stay. On our departure day our flight was late evening and having checked out, she said we can stay on in her seated garden area until we were ready to leave. It was a really great experience staying here and thanks Erimina for making it so. We can highly recommend your accommodation Best regards Michael & Margaret Stapleton

Quiet location and great location for swimming at the local lidos (private swimming areas). Great balcony and shared kitchen was a plus. Short walk to downtown which has the castle, restaurants and more. Adequate breakfast included. Definitely recommend.
