Very friendly and welcoming and simple guest house. The rooms are traditional Italian style, this is no monochrome Hilton, and we were lucky enough to have a room overlooking the main street. Everything you need, good location, and very helpful staff.
Location is excellent, close to main attractions and lots of shops nearby! Breakfast is good in a really beautiful dining room.
Staff (Cayetano) was extremely kind and helpful.
I would not hesitate to book again if I go back to Catania in the future.
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.
The room was large and comfortable. The hotel is very convenient to many historical sites, shopping, restaurants, piazza, parks. It was a lovely experience.
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.
Friendly helpful proprietor. Large clean room, well insulated from noise, comfy bed. Amazingly decorated breakfast room , with a good choice of continental breakfasts.
Only downside was no plug in the sink or bidet. Bring a universal plug with you if required!
Cayetano was an extraordinary host, very friendly and always available.
Stronglly recommend this magnificent location. Very close to historic monuments.
