Wir hatten unsere Ankunft angemeldet und mussten 1 Stunde vor verschlossener Türe warten. Erst nach mehrmaligem Anrufen kam der Besitzer. Er hatte kurzerhand unser reserviertes Zimmer an andere, italienische Reisende vergeben, die 3 Stunden vor uns ankamen. Der Besitzer redete sich auf dieses Missverständnis heraus, war aber unverschämt, meldete uns bei Expedia als nicht angekommen ab und bot uns an in einem Apt. zu übernachten. Das ursprünglich gebuchte Frühstück war plötzlich auch nicht mehr Teil des Preises. Wir nahmen es nur an, weil es abends war und wir am nächsten Tag weiterreisen wollten.
Seine routinierte Art zu feilschen und zu lügen lässt uns denken, dass wir nicht die Ersten sind, die so behandelt wurden.
Wir warnen ausdrücklich davor, in diesem B&B zu buchen.
We really enjoyed staying here, we had a suite which gave us a small sitting room with a balcony to relax in, it made it feel very roomy. It’s a beautiful apartment, there is a dining room where breakfast is served. Breakfast was fresh bread, packaged pastries, yogurt, cereal and coffee, for Eur 5 it was an easy start to the day. There are a lot of stairs, it’s on the 3rd floor. It’s a very convenient area with restaurants and the main attractions nearby. Lovely hosts who helped us with directions. We walked from the train station but there is bus to the airport just around the corner so even easier.
Some friends and I stayed here while visiting Catania. The innkeeper greeted us kindly and offered suggestions about sightseeing and dining. We took his advice and had a great supper at a nearby trattoria. The room was large and comfortable. The location was more central than we expected. There was much to see within walking distance. Breakfast was light, typical of Italy, but satisfying. Overall, we were very pleased with the experience, and would recommend the B&B without any hesitation.
I stayed there with my husband on september 15. It was a very nice stay. Hotel was a historical 17th century building. The owner Sergio was very kind and helpful. We really enjoyed his company. The location is very close to historical center and main tourist attractions. I highly recommend this hotel.
El B&B está en una calle céntrica, muy próximo al teatro Massimo (se pude ver desde la puerta). En la misma calle hay varios restaurantes con lo cuál está muy concurrida, cosa que se agradece, ya que hay zonas de Catania un poco deserticas.
Sergio, a pesar de no hablar castellano, nos preguntaba y se hacía entender, mostrando interés para que nuestra estancia fuera agradable.
La habitación era muy amplia y el baño muy actual. El único inconveniente es que estaba en el último piso, con lo cual había que subir 4 pisos de escaleras, pero la ubicación del B&B y la habitación merece la pena.
