A bit off away from the center but close to the airport. Complicated check in and series of doors / keys. Communication is good though and the cleaning lady is nice. Breakfast limited. Recommend for very short stays and if you are budget conscious.

The property was quite hard to find and in a quiet dark street which as a solo female traveller, felt a little uncomfortable. Once inside though, the room was fine for my needs if a little basic and the lady at breakfast was lovely

Der BnB-Besitzer Alessandro ist ein unfassbar netter Mann, welcher keine Fragen offen lässt! Super Lage, einer der besseren Ecken Catanias Zimmer war außerordentlich groß für 3 Personen - Das Zimmer war für unseren Geschmack dreckig. Die Bettdecken hatten Flecken und es roch nach Hund, weil Alessandro einen großen Kampfhund hat. - Die Toilette war zu eng. Die Belüftung war extrem laut. Es dauerte mehrere Minuten, bis man halbwegs brauchbares Warmwasser bekam. - Schlechter bis hin zu gar keinem WLAN-Empfang - Betten sind zu weich. Rückenschmerzen sind vorprogrammiert. Ich würde dieses Hotel definitiv nicht erneut besuchen. Für eine Nacht war es gerade noch aushaltbar. 2/5 Sterne

I liked the B&b which was clean ,safe ,generally quiet ,and only about 15-20 minutes walk from the city's main thoroughfare ,Via Etnea .The staff were friendly though only one or two could speak good English.I thought the cost of the accommodation was good value for money and I would recommend it to any travellers on a budget like myself .

My friend and I stayed here around late July to early August and it was a pleasant stay. Staff were approachable and friendly. Alessandro was very helpful with excursions and taxi bookings and even recommended restaurants close to the area. Upon early arrival before check-in time, the room was thankfully ready. Our room was decent with all the basics needed and had no issues. Breakfast was really delicious. A selection of sweet and savoury pastries, fresh fruits, mozzarella and tomatoes, bread, a selection of jams, cereal, hot drinks and fruit juice. The staff even offered to make expresso or cappuccino which was nice. The B&B is very close to some tourist spots in Catania. You could take public transport, but my friend and I decided to walk and explore.

The Sicilian Experience at B&BTra L'Etna e il Mare
Alexandra the owner was an excellent hotelier and very friendly and helpful, also his son Ricardo. I shall miss the BIG evening meals we had together and the Mount Etna climb with Alexandra. Hotel small but very clean and tidy, breakfast was a pleasure. Excellent food and wine in the restaurants, great value, and very friendly. Sicilian hospitality is excellent.

By far the best value...and the most authentic.
The only place to stay in catania... the owner is a jack of all trades....an amazing host and also a tour operator for Catania... and knows all the best local secrets for inexpensive quality resteraunts and entertainment... 10 minutes walk to all the major sights... highly recommend this bed and breakfast....free wifi...free breakfast...and the only place in catania with free parking (if you have a car rental)...everyone else charges at leat 15-20 euro per night.
