Viagrande hotels

Pros: I loved the uniqueness of the hotel and its location. The staff are friendly and so helpful. The owner is an art collector which provides an interesting and personal ambience. My room was spacious with several artefacts, a comfortable bed with beautiful linen, large shower with luxurious bathroom amenities. The breakfast selection was exceptional and can be enjoyed inside or on the terrace. The location is unusual as it is on the edge of the fabulous fresh produce market. Walking distance to the places of interest, restaurants, shops and the hop on and off bus. In the evening just a few steps to several fabulous fish restaurants.

Cons: No improvements were necessary

Pros: Firm nice bed, great bed pillows, wonderful natural light in rooms from balcony-like doors. Quiet. Right around the corner from open air/balcony breakfast room. Spectacular breakfast of local ... everything you can imagine, plus more. Wonderful and helpful staff!

Cons: I could have used 2 more hooks in the bathroom to hand a toiletry bag and clothes! Beautiful bathroom however !

Pros: Amazing breakfast with local ingredients, set up in a bright room or beautiful balcony full of plants

Pros: The rooms are amazing - the decoration very arty and cool - loved it. Location also great. Delicious breakfast on the terrace :)

Pros: The staff are great, I can’t say to much about the location and rooms they are unbelievable.

Pros: A simply fascinating place. Our trip was a short stop during our honeymoon but Asmundo di Gisira was one of the most memorable. The building, the creativity, the comfort and above all the friendly staff. We promised to return for longer and that we will!

Pros: Incredibly quirky former mansion excellent location right in the markets great service huge rooms fantastic value for money

Cons: nothing

Pros: The owners are amazing. They really care about their guests. You can tell in their attention to detail. Also the rooms have memory foam beds. They are stiff but great! Awesome location.

Cons: There was nothing I didn't like. Understand staying here you are at the center of everything. With that comes noise at night. Just bring something to mask it if you are I light sleeper. I can sleep in all conditions and loved it.

Pros: Everything!!!

Pros: Wonderful hotel, interesting art, fantastic location

Pros: Room was wonderful and the view into the square perfect, I’m looking forward to further visits to this wonderful hotel.

Pros: Everything was perfection! Antonio & Alina are the perfect hosts and took great care to make our stay feel like a holiday in paradise. Breakfasts by the pool with views of Mt Etna are one of a kind. Rooms are cleaned daily and the property feels very safe, clean and homelike. The family owned wine and beer shop nearby is definitely worth a visit.

Pros: Great house in a great location between Taormina, Syracuse and Mt. Etnea. Large and clean rooms. Antonio is a quintessential host, always at your service and a lot of fun to talk to. Breakfast was amazing. Great coffee. Antonio and his son have a wine and beer shop in town with a great selection. I highly recommend this place

Pros: We loved everything!It was like in paradise!Antonio and Alina are such a great family.They did their best for us to feel wellcome in their home.Sicily is such a nice place!

Cons: Nothing!All was just perfect!

Pros: Loved the location, beautiful pool, lovely bedroom and comfy bed also the breakfast was perfect. So what more do you want?

Pros: Wow, what a house! That aside, super friendly hosts, great homemade breakfast made just for you while sitting in the garden / by the pool. The room is very clean, very big, and with a very comfortable bed. All you need in the bathroom is already there, too. The location is great too, perfect for visiting Etna, the local small towns like Capo Mulini, and Catania. Book here if it is free, you will not regret it for a second! PS: Two small cute dogs will be around the property. Super friendly and very well behaved! PPS: Some guests said there rooms smelled like smoking, we did not experience any of it despite being very sensitive in this regard and being worried upfront!

Cons: We really would have liked to stay longer, so we have to come back :)

Pros: Its a beautiful house with a very large pool. Very calm because max 3 couples can stay in the b&b. The hosts and their son were so kind and helpful, they arranged our day trip to the Etna. Every morning a delicious breakfast was cooked and served outside by the host. The room was spatious. Very clean!

Cons: Maybe a airconditioning would have been wonderful. But it didn't bother too much because in the night the room could ventilate by opening the windows, and a fan was present in the room.

Pros: Dear Antonio You are the best! Thanks for all!

Pros: The pool, furniture and garden were very enjoyable and relaxing. Antonio is a very attentive host, grows his own vegetables and made delicious breakfasts for us, eaten on a patio above the pool. We enjoyed staying closer to the countryside, well out of busy Catania. Thank you Antonio!

Cons: Although our room had a fan, air conditioning would have been appreciated.

Pros: The rooms were beautiful! The hosts were very helpful, friendly and accommodating!

Cons: You need to hire a car as it’s quite rural! But we did and parking onsite was free and easy.

Pros: Well equipped romantic apartments in a newly restored Sicilian Palace!. An unique experience, just like out of a book! Not to be missed!

Pros: The host was super nice and always caring, he shared with us all the tips where to go and where to eat. Breakfast was very tasty and we loved the swimming pool and sauna. It is one of the rare finds where we would definitely like to come back!

Pros: B&B owned by a lovely family, set in a quiet village above Catania and 30 minutes away from Mount Etna. The host, Andrea, welcomed us and made us feel at home. He sent our dress for dry cleaning and returned it spotless the next day. He proposed and reserved restaurants, trips, and barbershops. On some evenings, we had the pleasure to listen to his mother, an accomplished pianist, play the piano in the main hall. We spent one night on the terrace outside, having cheese and wine. The rooms are big, airy, and clean. The location is quiet and convenient if you have a car.

Cons: Nothing of note. The location is 20 minutes outside the hustle and bustle of Catania, in a quiet and charming town.

Pros: The host family will make sure you that every single one of your asks and needs is catered to the perfection. They will always go the extra mile to make sure that you have a great and genuine Sicilian experience. Their hospitality is profoundly genuine and beats any hotel/palace in Europe

Pros: Perfect stay in a beautiful Sicily villa! We were a family of 4 adults, took 2 rooms: 1 very big apartment on the top floor (family room with garden view) and another double room with terrace The Villa is located on a quite beautiful village Viagrande near Catania Every room and every space in the Villa is well thought of, with special vintage items and decoration Andreas is the perfect host and is very welcoming and helpful, gave great recommendations for food and suggestions on where and when to go and was very patient with our questions and requests The pool and sauna was a great way to end every day Every breakfast had special, unique, delicious, fresh food from the area and Andreas also indulged us with champagne and local treats Everything was perfect! Thank you Andreas!

Pros: A ten is not enough to rate Villa di Leo; a 15 would be more appropiate. Everything was fantastic: the 19th century beautiful house, the warm swimming pool, the room, the location, the Sicilian breakfast and the hospitality of the wonderful host Andrea, who let us use the facilities for free until our late check out. Would absolutely recommand this B&B!

Cons: Nothing

Pros: One of those amazing rare finds. Stayed in a large room with terrace. Wonderful Liberty style villa with garden, lift, heated large swimming pool (on a cool May evening after a trip to Etna it was a bliss!), immaculately presented, romantic, relaxed and full of character and great charm. Conveniently situated, close to Etna, Catania and the motorway. Late at night enjoyed wine on the terrace with views of the sea and a commercial shooting next door :). Breakfast with local products, fresh and tasty. Andrea's (the owner) highest priority is genuine care of his guests, attention to detail and guests' comfort. Grazie mille, Andrea e Roberta.

Pros: Great stay in a sophisticated old Italian villa. Excellent service by a very welcoming host.

Pros: During our 22 days around South of Italy and Sicily, it was the best property! Everything was perfect. Breakfast included the highest quality local products (local honey, bread, cheeses, fruits...) Not to mention the owner of the property who was so kind and helpful to us. He even let us stay in the property as much as we wanted after the check out as I wanted to take the pictures of this mansion (it’s perfectly Instagramable!) Location is great as it is within 30 mins drive to all the core locations in the area. The property itself was so beautiful. Deco, furniture, paintings... it was like staying in the beautiful house. I think I don’t have enough space to write more here.

Pros: Perfect place, perfect hosts. Incredible palace, we absolutely recommend to stay at least one night with Andrea.

Pros: Very very cool hotel, beautiful, clean and nice place,professional and pleasant staff! Tasty breakfast;)was great holidays!

Pros: Good location, good breakfast, nice owner

Cons: breakfast pretty cheap and not healthy

Pros: Friendly staff, clean and helpful. Location is very good.

Cons: Towels were not changed.

Pros: The breakfast was so good, the stuff was so nice and friendly, and our bed was so comfy!! I was sad when we needed to leave our room which had an aircondition too, it was really practical because the weather was really hot outside.

Cons: At the end of the street there was some really smelly garbages.

Cons: Unfortunately the rooms hasn't been cleaned during our stay

Pros: The high ceilings in the bedroom, the artwork and the friendliness of the host. Also, the breakfast was not bad.

Cons: It's on the 5th floor and elevator was not working. Also, it was difficult getting in the first time because no one would answer the buzzer. Additionally, did not like the fact that there is no cable tv!

Pros: Everything good overall Very kind staff Great bathroom Okay breakfast

Cons: Noisey street and hostel guests (beyond 1 am...) Bathroom is separate with semi-functional lock (difficult to operate)

Pros: Location was excellent. The focus on having a small, manageable number of guests made for a much more relaxed and pleasant stay. Power outlets at your bedside.

Cons: Pillows?

Pros: The hostel is near with market, supermarkets, center of the city. It’s really good location But for me the most important thing is people around me So guys here are really friendly domestic and responsive people ☺️ I would like to come back soon

Pros: Amazing atmosphere and staff. It really is a house in which you are welcomed. Besides that it is very clean and has everything you need. Also not too far from the city centre, the train and the busstation.

Pros: Great place to stay

Pros: Very authentic place close to the downtown, o enjoyed being in this beautiful place.

Pros: There is a problem with their booking system, so we are arranged to another apartment. We did not know before we get on our flight. We are a little bit panic, but finally solved.

Pros: The toilets are very clean.

Pros: Marco is excellent host had amazing warm welcome and all felt so nice would 100%stay there again

Pros: As I arrived it was like entering an actual house with people hanging out and chilling all together. Unfortunately I was staying only one night so i didn’t get the chance to fully enjoy the environment. Nice host and beautiful house. It’s located in the center of Catania and from there you can reach any places. Also the Alibus (the bus that takes you from and to the airport stops really close by). Kitchen fully furnished, rooms were big and very clean, also the bathrooms. The house is very antique with a nice balcony facing the house Curt.

Pros: Andreas was an excellent hosted , providing me with an excellent greeting and then tips on the best places to go in Catania. The apartment exceeded my expectations , clean , quiet , comfortable and walking distance to the main Via Etna. Andreas also helped to book a trip to Mount Etna for me.

Pros: The room was lovely. The bed was ok, a bit hard. The room was very clean. Lovely host, he did his best to help us and solve some of the issues with the wifi and he was very friendly and lovely. He understood that our flight was delayed and waited for us. A mini fridge and tea making facilities with lovely free water was available so much appreciated that as it was very warm when we were there. The air conditioning was good. Location was great, very close to Guifrido train station (underground metro train station) about 4 minutes walk to the metro train station.

Cons: The sink was too close to the toilet. The wifi did not work upstairs at all, awful! We had to stand right at the front door for the wifi to work at all! Would have liked to have laid down or sat down comfortably to use wifi. Please put a modem in each room would be better. The air conditioning took a bit of time to work out to get it to the way we needed it, not too cold or too warm.

Pros: The place is in a lovely little street, the kitchen was nice and the bathroom was clean. Had a great time in Ortigia.

Cons: Can't say that anything bothered us. Was a nice stop along our way.

Pros: Beautiful place with nice terrace. It's 15-20 minutes walking distance from the city centre. You have parking places (blue line) in the surroundings and there is a supermarket too.

Cons: The bedroom and TV are upstairs while kitchen and table are downstairs so you cannot whatch TV while you are eating.

Pros: Andrea met us on arrival, checked us in and provided lots of useful information about the area and things to do in Catania. The apartment is a good size and has good standard facilities, and the outside courtyard is very charming - wished we had more time to sit out there!

Cons: The location is a short walk away (10-15 minutes) from the centre of Catania and the picturesque old town. The walk to that area is fine and feels relatively safe even at night. However, I don't recommend walking the direct route between here and Catania Centrale station - we did it first when we arrived in Catania by train, and also the next day to take the bus to Etna. The area is very run down, and Andrea advised us to avoid it at night. If you want to walk I suggest a slightly longer detour via the old town and water front to avoid those streets.

Pros: Everything was perfect. The studio was airy and had everything you would need (plus really nice coffee!). Andrea, the host, was very welcoming and always at reach in case you needed some help. Would definitely recommend this place.

Pros: Excellent and friendly host provided thorough information and tips on arrival, quick responses and very attentive and accommodating to ensure we are alway comfortable and equipped with essential needs for our stay. Very spacious and clean apartment well equipped kitchen and dining area in and outdoors for the apartment Location easy walking distance to supermarket and central

Pros: Great location and clean room. Great price. Andrea was great.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The place is located in the middle of Catania we walked in the whole historic center and also it has a pretty good restaurants not so far from the Cortils Dei Sogni.

Cons: I didn't like the hard mattress in our room but some people like it.

Pros: Very good value for money. Clean room/bathroom, good breakfast, excellent location. The owner mr. Salvatore is helpful land pleasant company. Practical tips: the Piazza is just a street and when there is no reaction to the doorbell phone the owner. So: recommended!!!

Cons: All good

Pros: The location was nice and central, the staff were helpful and friendly, and breakfast was tasty!

Cons: We loved it here but, if we had to find one thing we didn't like, it would be that it can be slightly noisy in the evening with the local bars/restaurants playing music. However, this wasn't too bad and we loved our stay.

Pros: The staff were great, they facilitated an airport pickup n a really late check in time. Gracie was extremely friendly n helpful with tips on what to do n where to go. The location was close to the main things to see.

Cons: The noise! There is an open bar directly across from you and it’s music played to 3am each night. Cheap ear plugs were provided in our drawers but as the windows are not Thick, these were useless. If you are not a heavy sleeper, this is not the place for you.

Pros: People were nice and helpful particularly with parking!

Pros: The employees were really nice and caring. I forgot my Iphone X at the room after Checking out and one the staff reached me while I was leaving the hotel and gave me my phone back.

Cons: the location of the Hotel was good but it was at night too noisy and we couldn’t sleep well because of streets noises.

Pros: Fantastic facilities, great staff, clean, well maintained, nice pool, great breakfast

Cons: The only downside is the location, but if it were closer to the city it would be ALOT more expensive.....

Pros: The hotel is located towards the outskirts of Catania so it is suitable for a business traveller, particularly as it has on-site parking. The rooms are very well equipped with some nice touches such as everything in the mini-bar being complimentary, Staff are both friendly and very helpful. Breakfast is excellent with a wide choice of hot and cold food.

Pros: Breakfast was excellent. Room very modern and clean. The light snacks were delicious.

Cons: The fact that the hotel does not have a restaurant. But still, the snacks were very good.

Pros: The property was clean, large well organised room, staff were extremely helpful and accomadating

Pros: That breakfast and the mini bar were included in the price. Rooms were spacious, modern and clean. And the kids loved the pool.

Pros: Breakfast fantastic. Swimming pool relaxing. Extremely spacious rooms. Nice underground parking. Freewifi. Helpful staff

Pros: The staff and people at the reception were super-friendly, and they made us feel very welcome. The rooms were very spacious and clean. The swimming pool was a little nice extra. we loved it, and would go again. Very pleasant and serene.

Pros: It was excellent

Cons: Not thing

Pros: We were all very impressed with the staff , cleanliness. Breakfast was really good. This hotel was worth every penny

Pros: nice breakfast, friendly staff, location close to historic center and bus station.

Pros: The staffs are friendly The biggest bed I have ever used in hostels. Great breakfast and common area. Clean room and location.

Cons: So first of all, we arrived at the hostel around 2 but since check-in time was 3, we walked around the city and came back around 5. But when we came, the staff said THE ROOM IS NOT READY(what?). The staff said 30-60mins so we said we will wait bit it actually took about 80mins. Secondly, the arranged beds were not in the same condition with the other beds. The main reason I chose this hostel was due to the curtain to have some privacy. But apparently, here were only two beds without the curtains which were ours. Also it was right under the windows which was not horizontally cut so we had less room than other beds. Besides, the windows did not have a curtain to shut the sunshine so we had to become an early bird. And some beds had safe box next to the bed ambut some didnt. There were only one closet and one drawer for 8 people. ** So I looked up booking.com and for some dates the beds we used were priced little less than others. But some of the days it just shows the room(not the specific unfair bed). And Im pretty sure we didnt pay less(might a little for booking early, not for the use of specific bed).So when u are unlucky, you will be using beds not as good as others, paying the same. Also, the rooms are all in second floor but bathrooms and toilets are on the first. So if you want to use toilets at midnight, you have to take the key with u and go downstairs. Of course when you want to take a shower, you have to bring everything and go on a journey to the bathroom. Lastly, the reception staff’s english wasnt good enough. She gave us false information. She firstly said like “its a female dorm so dont forget to always lock the door”. So even though we originally knew its a mix dorm but since she said , we expected only female in the room. But when we came back, found a bunch of guys(which some more privacy became more important but apparently we didnt have).

Pros: I received a great welcome and tips. The guys gave me a cigarette even. The design is cool and the bathrooms are well equipped. The room was big and pretty clean. The breakfast was really nice, good juices, cheese etc. The lady serving it is also very hospitable. Overall, it is a cool place and I am happy to have started my journey in Sicily with Eco. I enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere after a long journey.

Cons: The booking process: I saw that the price included all taxes and charges, and on arrival was asked to pay the city tax. Also, the whole issue with room categories and number of beds is somehow misleading. And the bathroom is not in the room, it is next to reception.

Pros: Extremely nice environment with an amazing common area, a lot of facilities like table tennis, video games, board games. Perfect free buffet breakfast, comfortable rooms, location is fine with 20mins walk to city centre. Very helpful staff providing useful information !!!! They basically provide all help you need, even an welcoming wine !

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Fantastic common area, double beds and entire bathrooms!

Pros: Super nice staff and common area !! Very cool decoration and facilities !! The buffet breakfast is amazing too, best hostel ever !!

Cons: Nothing !!

Pros: location, setup and staff

Cons: bathrooms were on different floor from rooms and the whole place a bit cleaner

Pros: The staff The rooms The location The breakfast The common area

Cons: Everything was perfect

Pros: The Best ever. Seriously. Chill and Relax. Amazing breakfast. Amazing staff. Other hostels owners should come and learn from this one.

Pros: Location /staff facilities were excellent

Cons: Toilets were on different floor. During my stay there was a big problem with fleas from the mattresses The problm was taken care of , nevertheless many guests had a veeeeery uncomfortable experience.

Pros: very friendly host and very beautiful house. feels like home

Pros: Velardi is a great choice for staying in Catania, central yet away from the busy city life! Super clean rooms, nice garden, great homemade breakfast everyday & a very friendly owner who helped us in anything we needed

Pros: Susanna is a great host, we felt a warm welcome as we walked in the first time. Her house is spot less and she prepared a delicious breakfast every morning. She speaks very good English and she also helped with suggesting nice restaurants in the area. Will definitely return to Susanna's house in Via Grande!

Pros: The feeling of home. Beautiful residence with a great energy. Kind and helpful owner, always willing to give great advices on where to go, what to see. Delicious home made breakfast in the garden makes it a heavenly experience, I`d recommend to anyone when in Catania or headed to Etna.

Pros: The landlady was exceptional. The house is beautiful in the heart of the Italian village. Great variety of breakfast every morning. Thank you so much

Pros: Susanna makes a fantastic breakfast with lots of fresh fruits and home-made chutneys. Having breakfast in her lovely garden is an experience!

Pros: Excellent property and good service

Cons: Everything was great

Pros: The staff of the hotel is friendly. Location is pretty good - 10-15 min. walking to majority of attractions.

Cons: Nothing in this hotel works properly. You can see it already with constant issues with front doors that have to be unlocked by receptionist. Still they do not operate properly and each guest has a problem. First night when leaving hotel, we've asked for water glasses and toilet paper (they don't leave additional in the room). We were back 5 hours later and it was not delivered. We had also issues with our room doors and during the night toilet flush broke and was making a continuous noise. Our room was changed. In the new room water drain both in sink and shower were not working properly and it was not fixed by our departure 2 days later. In both rooms doors are not tight, so you can hear everything from the corridor and wind literally whistles under the doors. On top we had a lot of dust in our room (photo). Breakfast is also quite poor, as products are not refilled on time, so majority of items are simply missing. They are also not fresh, e.g. the cake and quiche that were served first day, were also served day after (half of it) and still day later (few pieces on a smaller plate). Reporting all that to reception we didn't receive any discount or even small bottle of wine as apologies.

Pros: Location and staff-woman.

Cons: Staff-man in check-in - he said man (native indian) who wanted to help me find the hotel (which I wooked) - don't call - or I'call to police... Than indian, who worked in small food-shop, when I bought foods in his market - took my bag and accompanied with me to the hotel! Really nice, but night man in the hotel was unpolite((( cc

Pros: The friendly manner in which questions were answered. Luca was a fabulous host. Top marks The breakfast was just amazing, fabulous range of goodies

Cons: Nothing, it was a great place to stay.

Pros: Owner and staff very friendly. Excellent breakfast.

Cons: Hotel was as expected.

Pros: A fantastic family run hotel in a perfect location for experiencing the area. Everything was in walking distance. The owner was very welcoming, knowledgeable of the area and nothing seemed to be too much trouble. In fact everyone who worked there was very polite and made the place a very happy place to stay! The breakfast was excellent with a great choice , the room we stayed in was perfect and had everything we needed for our stay. I would certainly recommend this hotel and we will certainly return when visiting Catania. Thank you to everyone at Hotel Centrum, we hope to see you again in the future.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The breakfast was really delicious. The girl at reception (Julianna) was marvellous and the girl at the breakfast was very happy and obliging.

Pros: Very friendly and helpful staff, comfortable bed, nice view from my room, good cakes for breakfast, convenient location.

Cons: I had several mosquitos in my room, maybe mosquito nets at the windows would help. Small room: most of it is taken up by the bed (on the contrary the bathroom is very big).

Pros: I had read that this Hotel was perfectly located with helpful staff and good amenities, and everything i had heard was to the dot. The room was clean, the staff were just lovely helpful and radiating with positivity and the location was perfectly situated within a walking distance from a lot of cool places, restaurants, and monuments. Breakfast was amazing and the TV channels were off the hook. Would definitely go back to Centrum

Cons: The cleaning lady on my floor was unbelievably loud, it's one thing to have the noise from the vacuum but another to hear her talking, screaming and laughing for 2 hours non stop on a Sunday morning. The strange part was that there was no do not disturb option on the knob. If you're staying at Centrum make sure you leave the hotel when it's cleaning time, the cleaner's voice reached outer space.

Pros: Modern. Great AC. Informative staff helped us make the most of our visit to Catania.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: Very efficient and friendly staff, excellent facilities, lovely rooms, great breakfast, extremely clean

Pros: The B&B is very centrally located. That is all the positive thing I can say about it.

Cons: 1. The owner changed the address of the facility but never informed us. It took us (both sixty plus) almost two hours with two large suitcases to find the B&B facility. The actual B&B where he made us stay was named differently (B&B Catania Etna) and was located at a different address (via Etnea, 198) than the address provided through 'booking.com'. A photo of the property front is attached here. 2. The owner does not accept any credit cards for payments. 3. The room was stuffy and the a/c didn't work properly.

Pros: Clean and central

Pros: This b&b is simply amazing...location is fabulous, right in the heart of via Etnea. Staff offer a great service and the rooms are super clean..definately recommended. Tasha, Malta.

Pros: The location it was perfect and reachable for shopping and restaurants even for the public transport.but from the booking.com the hotel address is writen 290 via etnea but they told us that 3 years ago moved to same street but the nbr was 196.so if you please arrange it .I,m very satisfied for my staying in b&b massimo

Pros: Location is very good, near to the city center and host is very gentle.

Pros: Location

Cons: Mosquitoes in the room and the host didn't even react to do something about it.

Pros: Nice staff, breakfast was okay, nice room and view.

Cons: Wrong adress on the booking so we had problems with finding the b&b.

Pros: Very quiet room tucked off the busy street. Hosts were excellent when flight was severely delayed and waited up until very late at night for our check in. Spacious and comfortable room.

Cons: Bathroom was a little bit dirty/mouldy. Bath/shower didn't drain very well.

Pros: You get good value for money. The room is very small. There is no coffee corner. Breakfast at a nearby coffee shop, coffe and croissant only. Excellent location. Small room.

Pros: Staff was very friendly! Nice breakfast, good service, good restaurant.

Cons: Classic room is too small for price. Better to pay more to get a suite. The ratio room m2 vs price is not good for classic but fine for suite

Pros: Beautiful hotel, lovely pool, great breakfast. Staff were so helpful during our stay.

Pros: There is so much to like about the property starting with the warm welcome from the staff. It it an oasis in an otherwise busy city. Peaceful with the birds chirping and the classical piano music playing. Our suite was delightful and since it was cool, the fireplace was perfect!

Cons: I’d be hard pressed to not like it! An extra down comforter would have been welcome but the blankets are sufficient for warmth.

Pros: Oasis within Etna. Very comfortable room. Very helpful staff.

Pros: Nice design, beautiful territory

Cons: Location right near the road, the area is dirty and not very nice. The price is too high for such location

Pros: Some places with this sort of luxury can be impersonal but the staff really went above and beyond. Just a fantastic experience, nothing really to complain about.

Pros: EVERYTHING. Style, staff, property, location (it’s calm so you have to go there knowing there is nothing close to it), cleanliness, food... Me and my partner had also anniversary so I contacted the hotel before the arrival, let them know about our spacial weekend getaway and they gave us the best room upgrade.

Cons: The wellness/spa part and the masseuse who was not goving me a massage but just softly touching for 60minutes.

Pros: Beautiful small hotel at the foot of the Etna, very nice to get out of the cities troubles for a couple of days!

Pros: The staff. Absolutely helpful. The hotel itself is really well designed and furnished.

Cons: The location next to a supermarket although convinient was not inspiring.

Pros: Every detail in this hotel is immaculate! The house itself is stunning, add to that a team who is equal parts charming and professional and it makes this place feel like a home. The food and wine are perfectly curated to complement the setting. Having stayed at many Mr and Mrs Smith Hotels, this is by far the most inviting (thanks to the team - especially Enrico, Irene, and Mario, but really everyone was gracious!), and luxurious (due to the thoughtfulness of design mixing beauty and comfort). I feel lucky to have stayed before this hidden gem is discovered and it becomes impossible to book!

Cons: Nothing, everything was amazing.

Pros: I had a wonderful room, sparkling clean with a very comfy bed. Super breakfast!

Pros: The owner/s couldn't do enough for us. In spite of our very limited Italian, they managed to explain so much to us, recommended a local (ie for locals) restaurant which we really enjoyed and explained all about how to climb mount Etna, even giving us tokens entitling us to free lunch at the cable-car top.

Pros: Bed was extra comfortable

Pros: Localization next to really beautiful botanic garden, clean and nice room, kind host :)

Cons: Breakfasts might be more vary, they were really basic and cold. View from our window wasn't nice but we were not expected to have the best one :)

Pros: This was the second time that we stayed in Catania Bedda and it was even better than the first time. Do not hesistate, just book it, Catania Bedda is perfect. Good value for money, perfect location. Opposite of a beautfil garden, in the centre and on the balcony you can see the Etna. The beds are perfect, the rooms high and spacious and the toilet ant shower on the corridor is not a problem at all. Breakfast is delicious. If necessary you can park your car close by.

Pros: Owner hospitality

Cons: Check in process, we spent 2 hours to wait in the street in order to check in.There is no reception at the apartment, you need to call minimum to hours before check in or inform in advance owner, overall everything is good except difficulty in check in Also apartment is needed in renovation every old finished Also a bit uncomfortable external bathroom, by the way it is mentioned in the apartment description during booking process, just to be informed

Pros: great breakfast and big rooms.

Cons: Everything was great

Pros: Great breakfast for only 2.50. Staff was great and helpful and our room was comfortable and clean.

Pros: A highlight of our trip to Sicily! Beautifully, almost luxuriously, furnished and extremely friendly staff. Wish we had more time to spent there.

Cons: The location is a bit off the center of town, but not too much. It the decorations more than compensate for this.

Pros: Very quiet and comfortable

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The immediate surroundings are perhaps typical of some of the back-street areas of Catania, however, the Liberty Hotel is an absolute real GEM. It offers tranquillity, with a wonderful welcoming and restful ambience. Having said that, the staff are so friendly, helpful and personable, who take 'service' to another level. Around the corner within just a few minutes walk are excellent local restaurants serving great fresh food and hospitality. The main square for buses, - inc. Airport bus is just 5 minutes walk away, - with many of the sites also being in reasonable walking distance. The hotel is quite exceptional for what it offers, and our stay exceeded expectations and was a wonderful bonus to our holiday!

Pros: Breakfast was good and staff friendly and very helpful. We were upgraded to a bigger room so that was a nice surprise.

Cons: I would have expected an iron and coffee making facilities.

Pros: Lovely hotel with fantastic staff. The breakfast was great. The rooms are decorated in a fabulous style. I enjoyed the cocktails we had in the lobby after a hot day of sight seeing

Pros: The staff were exceptionally kind, corteous and helpful.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Very helpful staff. Very clean and quiet rooms. I was fortunate to be upgraded to a suite. Very nice! Breakfast was nice.

Pros: Location

Cons: Nothing. Everything was great

Pros: Lovely location and beautiful service.

Pros: Staff is super competent, kind and proactive; at my request, I had gluten-free food for breakfast. Candied orange peels and sugar coated almonds were a great local plus!!! Ambience and furniture (in Liberty style) made the atmosphere special. Gorgeous jasmin berceau outside!

Pros: Close within the interconnecting cities

Cons: Need a little refurbishment

Pros: The views from the terrace are beautiful. The staff very helpful. The rooms are equipped with modern furniture.

Cons: That they could change the towels every day.

Pros: Staff very very friendly, hotels rooms clean and big and child friendly it is suited outside of main city and has a gorgeous view of etna

Pros: The place is very clean, rooms are spacious and comfortable. The host, Raffaele, is a very welcoming person, speaks fluent English and was helpful in recommending attractions to visit.

Pros: Instant smile on my face whenever I recall my time in Hotel Milomax. People are always the factor that makes the biggest difference. It was clearly end of the saeson but Raffaele went above and beyond to make our stay as pleasent as possible. Molto grazie Raffaele.

Pros: The staff was patient with our late arrival and accommodating to our requests during breakfast, which was fresh and delicious.

Pros: The staff treats you with great respect and care to make your stay memorable!

Cons: It was overall fine !

Pros: Staff is very friendly, the food was amazing and the view of Etna is stunning.

Pros: Comfortable beds. Raffaele's hospitality

Pros: Mr. Carmelo and his brother with the staff Christian were very helpful and nice. The location of B&B is more than perfect ( city centre) . With all my heart we recomend this accomodation.

Pros: The friendliness of the host. Carmelo was very welcoming.

Pros: the location is great and the owners very friendly and helpfull

Cons: The breakfast could be better.

Pros: Great location. Lovely room in an old Palacio but with modern facilities. For breakfast you get a voucher to use in a v nice cafe 50 meters away. . Coffee, juice, brioche.

Pros: Located a block away from the University square!! Book this B&B and you will not be disappointed!!! Our group stayed in 3 of the four rooms available. Each room can comfortably fit 5 people and maybe 6 if one person uses the foldable cot. The rooms are like a “loft style”. If you have small children just make sure they don’t climb the stairs to the upper part of your room. Bathroom is clean. There is a refrigerator but make sure it’s plugged in as they don’t plug it in 24/7 to save energy. Check in was easy even if we arrived in the evening. Beds are firm but still comfortable. Parking is on the street - we had problems with this but our host accommodated to help us! Food options and restaurants are just a few steps away. Fun fact: Bellini, the music composer, worked in this building!!! Our host told us this fact... Very cool!

Cons: There’s no elevator so if you have big luggages, you’d have to bring it up 3 flights of stairs.. the B&B is located on the 2nd floor.

Pros: The location

Cons: Parking was difficult

Pros: Carmelo greeted us and helped carry our suitcases up the stairs. It is on the 2nd floor. He was so lovely and welcoming. I stayed with my husband and 6 year old son and we felt the room was big enough. It had double windows that block out any street noise. It is in the best location with everything right outside your door. The room was so clean! It was absolutely spotless. I was so impressed because I am O.C.D! Not a spec of dust to be seen. Breakfast was good. Got a pastry, juice and coffee per person and it is at a cafe just down stairs in the square. Would highly recommend and if we are ever in Catania again we will be back for sure!! Thank you Carmelo

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The Hotel is in the ideal spot exactly in the heart of Catania; very close to all shops and amenities. The host Carmelo was very nice, available at all times and very efficient. Room was clean and tidy with daily cleaning routines. Christian was very gentle and assisted us when we needed. Thank you. Keep up the good work.

Pros: Excellent location, and noise reduction windows extremely efficient. The bar for which we received vouchers for breakfast was excellent (delicious pastries and good coffee).

Cons: We found the bed and pillows extremely hard and uncomfortable. I had back-ache after 2 nights. There is a coffee machine in the entrance, for which capsules need to be bought at reception. This was not indicated, and it was lucky I noticed the machine and asked at check-in. Guests should be informed of this option at check-in.

Pros: Great owners, very friendly and dedicated to the guests. You can count on them in every matter. Super breakfast, great location. Greetings for the owners. Next time in Catania we would stay at your B&B for sure!

Cons: Everything was great!

Pros: Convenient location between the city center and the train/bus station, near to an airport bus stop. Rich breakfast buffet in a spacious terrace. The single room was spacious with a great bathroom. Rosario was very kind and helpfull.

Cons: Very old building although with a special character. The matress was a bit uncomfortable. The cleanliness needs something more.

Pros: Nice little family B$B run by two friendly and helpful guys. Really nice place for the price--flat screen, air conditioning, everything brand new. Breakfast was great--in a surprisingly ornate room covered in frescoes. Centrally located. Highly recommended.

Cons: I stayed in one of the attic rooms, which had a giant head-bumping beam at about 5'9". Wi-Fi was pretty iffy, although they did their best to get it working.

Pros: Fantastic b&b, with a great host who couldn’t do enough for us. Five minutes walk from the railway station and one minute from the centre.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: Around 10 mins walking from the main bus/train stop from where all buses go. Inside the b&b area everything seems to be very nice and cosy, good internet connection, lovely and helpful staff.

Cons: The neighborhood is not really clean, pretty dirty even the building itself is not looking very nice, but once you get inside, you feel like you re in a different place.

Pros: The staff was really helpfull, room was good decorated and new when you consider with the building age. Breakfast was really good. Short walk distance to train station.

Cons: The surrounding area was not that great :) also the building is too old and no elevators.

Pros: The host Christian was charming, and took the time to tell us some very interesting history about Catania in general and the b and b in particular. The room was very large, and although modern, had a high decorated ceiling that made one feel as though sleeping in a palace. The breakfast was wonderful!

Cons: The exterior of the building and stairway to the b&b are in very poor condition and the street outside reflects the poverty of parts of Sicily.

Pros: Very friendly host who was most accommodating. Excellent breakfast. Although B&B was on the 3rd floor, the steps leading up were very wide for hauling up the luggage. The beautiful paintings on the ceiling were a nice touch to the room.

Pros: Staff was very nice, they waited for us because we were late. Room looked new and was clean, breakfast was absolutely OK. Hotel is located close to the downtown, just few minutes walk.

Pros: The guys who work there are very nice, breakfast is super ok, the rooms nicely renovated, cleaning done daily, if the building itself would be eventually renovated it would be lovely. Not the fanciest neighbourhood indeed, the other buildings need a bit of renovating as well, but the people seem ok, we've had no incidents . :)

Pros: Comfortable modern rooms

Cons: Probably not suitable for children

Pros: Staff was excelent! Very helpful Room was very nice, clean and quiet. Location is good, 10 minutes walking to the historial center. 7 minutes from the central station if you are coming with the bus from the airport.

Cons: Surroudings and the building are a little bit odd. Felt some kind of insecurity there. Better if you go with people and not walk during the night. But, Catania is decadent and most of the neighborhoods are the same, so no need to worry in excess as is just a perception and nothing really happens.

Pros: Just a short walk away from everything you need to see in Catania. Very kind and accommodating staff.

Cons: Everything perfect

Pros: The morning Italian coffee was amazing. Also the staff even if they did not speak fluently English, they were very nice and disposable to their guest at any time and for any additional service (eg. booking a morning taxi, short presentation of local attraction, etc)

Cons: Pillows needs changing

Pros: I received answers to my messages promptly. We asked for extra facilities and we got them. The atmosphere of the place is authentic.

Pros: I loved my stay at Liodoro. The place is basic and comfy, but Simona in particular was great. The night I arrived, the taxi Simona had ordered for me broke down, so I was in a bit of a tizz and had to get one myself when mine didn’t arrive. Simona was here waiting, had sent me messages to let me know what was going on, and organised fruit and biscuits as a snack because it was too late for dinner. She was so kind. Liodoro is in a brilliant location right near Piazza Mazzini. Her husband Luciano was also very helpful. They are good hosts.

Pros: Fantastic location in an elegant building, pretty big room, helpful owner who assisted us in arrangement of the tour to Etna+Taormina, fresh and varied breakfast. Feel so comfort like at home.

Pros: Great variety breakfast with pastries, cheese, meats, cereal, etc. Location was the best you could get in Catania, walk everywhere...even the central train station was only 15 minute walk. Great restaurants, farmers market, shopping, all walking distance. Bottle of wine and wine glasses were provided in fridge upon arrival, very nice! Very spacious room with high ceilings. Quiet room, considering it looked over a busy street. Balcony off of dining was a delight in the evenings with our wine watching the people below. Loved that it has a secure large door to the courtyard/building of the property. The building is beautiful. Good, fast, reliable internet. Excellent arrival response and easy check-in.

Cons: There needs to be reliable lighting in the stairway at night Bed was not too comfy There were no tables or counters for toiletries and accessories in the room or bathroom, just a small desk in the room and a small round chair in the bathroom. There is nowhere to hang clothes, only a couple of hangers that were on the mirror. The room really needs a clothes closet and/or dresser. The booking ad said daily room service, but we were there 3 nights and never had any. The booking said it included toiletries, but there was only body wash, and no shampoo. The shower didn't drain properly and filled up with water. I had to stop the shower to keep it from running over.

Pros: Everything was great. The apartment is located in the city center, there are meny restaurants near by. The room was better and larger than we expected. And very clean.

Pros: Excellent B&B! Clean, spacious, and comfortable rooms. Strong wi-fi. Great staff who are very helpful and serve an incredible breakfast. Great downtown location in walking distance to the Piazza and Cathedral.

Pros: Very big rooms .. very friendly.. they text you a message what time you will come .. and all instructions how to go in the room..you have everything in the room.. and the bathroom.. not far by walk from the cathedral and the big shopping street .. like 2min-3 walking.. when you are in the central station take like 18min walk .. and when you go to the airport .. the bus stop 2 streets down like 5min walk
