The entrance to the property is pretty off putting. Having 4 keys to get from the gate to my room a bit intimidating. No lights in the stairwell that I could find. But the host, a British expat, was helpful and delightful as was the quirky and fun interior of his apartment. He arranged for a car to the airport for a predawn pickup. I spent very little time there but it was convenient to the airport,

Incredible place
Only good things to say about Cristina and Rob and their wonderful, welcoming B&B in Catania. Lovely people, right in the heart of town, and so helpful. Very cute accommodation and lovely breakfast - I'd never tried pistachio croissants and the ones Cristina buys were a dream!

Cristina and Rob are very personable and ready with reccomendations for eating, sight seeing and Catanian lore. The elevator is a plus up 3 floors.. The room and bed were very comfortable and the breakfast much like home.

Cristina is a warm, welcoming host who is enthusiastic about Sicily and has lots of useful advice and recommendations about where to eat and what to see and do. The B&B is cheerful and colourful, with quirky features and unique decor. Some of the areas do need a bit of attention(broken lights, flaking paintwork in bathroom and dust in table lamps) Although it's a convenient location, the street noise is constant, so sleep is difficult. However, perhaps this is out of the owner's control and the price you pay for being so close to Catania centre.
