Awesome place!
I was on my way to Taormina and I had a wonderful time here. Location is great, room was big, clean, nicely decorated and charming. Very comfortable and you can't hear anything from outside once you close your balcony. Nice view of the piazza from there. Alice is very nice and welcoming. She helped me and spent more than 20 minutes on the telephone to find me a way to get to Taormina because transportation was limited because of the G7 summit and I don't speak Italian. She took all the time and care to help me with that. I can't wait to go back and stay longer in Catania since I was only spending one night. Grazie Mille, Alice!

A wonderful B&B in a good location.
Slightly difficult to locate, but once I found it and parked, it turned out to be quite wonderful. Alice was very welcoming and helpful. My very clean room overlooked the piazza. Huge room, great location. Good WiFi. Note that there are a couple of flights of stairs involved in accessing the BnB.

Fabulous access to Catania.
This Bed and Breakfast was located among the shops and restaurants so it was quick and easy to visit our chosen tourist attractions, including a local bus trip to Syracusa. The room and bathroom were large, clean and comfortable. Our hostess was very warm, welcoming and thoughtful. She willingly answered our queries and offered helpful advice about what to see and do in the city. We really enjoyed our four days in this hotel.

Brilliant location and host.
Could hardly be nearer centre. Host Alice very friendly and informative. Rooms very comfortable and clean.Didn't have time to stay for breakfast but looked good. Only thing stopping us from giving it a 5 is the stairs - the B&B is on the third floor and there is no lift. Had we known accommodation was going to be this good we would have changed our plans to spend more time in Catania where there is more to see than we had expected.

Perfect location, helpful host
The Doralice is beautifully decorated, there is a lovely big wooden door leading to a small courtyard, then some smart marble steps leading up to the B&B. We arrived 3 hours late (and after midnight) and Alice waited up for us to arrive and could not have been more welcoming. We had not pre-booked breakfast but Alice gave us the opportunity to book it at 1am! Our room was large and comfortable, brightly but tastefully decorated. We had a view onto the square, and a little balcony (just one of those you can just about stand on). It was lovely! The bathroom was across the hall but we had our own key (on a cute little hook shaped like a toilet!) and the bathroom was large, had a very powerful shower and again was nicely decorated. We had booked a trip up Etna for the day after our arrival, and we had forgotten our sun cream. Alice kindly lent us some! The breakfast was fresh and delicious. If you are doing a trip up Etna then we highly recommend going with the one recommended on the Doralice website (Etnaround). We loved our stay at the Doralice.

Great bed and breakfast
We arrived later in the day and our host was very accommodating. She had sent me an email but I don't use it when on holiday, but she was fine about it. Suggestions about where to eat and visit were useful especially as the accommodation is central to Catania. I would suggest a taxi to the Doralice if you are arriving by train especially if you have luggage. There are a few steps up to the accommodation which is on the top floor of a beautiful villa 18th century type building/palace. The double door, double glazing in our room was really effective, not that there is much noise anyway.

Best bed and breakfast
We absolutely loved staying at Alice's beautiful B&B in Catania. She made our short stay in Catania a pleasure from the very start. She is so prompt and helpful in her communications, the accommodations are wonderful - very large updated room with a balcony that has views to a piazza, decorated in a clever, boutique design ( she could design roomscapes for a business), perfect central location, and a delicious breakfast. I would highly recommend her place if you can grab one of her rooms. She could not have been nicer.

Zentral gelegen, sauber, individuell eingerichtet
Freundlicher Vorab-E-Mail-Kontakt und ebenso freundlicher Empfang durch Mauro, der perfektes Englisch spricht. Wir konnten uns vor Ort eines von zwei Zimmern aussuchen und haben uns für das mit dem vom Zimmer zugänglichen Bad entschieden. Das Zimmer ist ebenso wie auch der Frühstücksraum liebevoll und individuell eingerichtet. Der Stil hat uns sehr gut gefallen, so dass wir uns wohl gefühlt haben. Die Zimmer sind in einer großen Wohnung im obersten Stock eines Hauses ca. 3 Minuten fussläufig zur Piazza Duomo. Im Umkreis sind sehr viele Restaurants und Shoppingmöglichkeiten. Mauro hat uns Tipps zum Parken gegeben. Da sich die Suche nach einem freien Platz etwas schwierig gestaltet hat, sind wir auf einen Parkplatz gefahren.

Super vært, perfekt placering
Allerede før ankomst havde jeg kontakt med Marco, værten. Super venlig, meget informativ, sjov og hjælpsom. Det var det første sted på en 11 dages tur rundt på Sicilien hvor værelset havde "sjæl". Det var hyggeligt, uhyre centralt. Faktisk lige ved Universitets Pladsen og hovedgaden. Værten var hele opholdet igennem meget sød, hjælpsomt uden at virke an-massende. Super, 6 stjerner ud af 6.
