The breakfast staff were lovely and the choice available was good.
The location is close to both main shopping and restaurant areas.
The owner helped us with organising a transfer to the airport.
Everything advertised about this property is false, with the entrance lobby downstairs resembling a building site.
Bellini does not operate in the real sense as a B & B. Staff are only at the property in the morning for breakfast and to clean the rooms, with even the check-in process being managed remotely by text . The owner has no idea who actually stays in the apartment. This meant that during our stay the apartment had been completely taken over by a Hen party and we were unable to use the terrace etc. and had to stay in our room. If I had been a solo traveller I would have felt very unsafe in these non-managed arrangements .
In addition we had booked and paid in advance for a Superior double room, but on arrival found we had been allocated the economy room without any explanation from the owner or the offer of a refund.
As other reviewers have commented the lift only works some of the time, so we were left to carry our cases down 3 flights of stairs on our departure.

it was easily accessible and the instructions to come in and out were very clear. the rooms are serviceable and have a mini fridge (important when hot outside) as well as a good aircon system that’s not loud.
the beds are on the harder side and the pillows could be better . also very limited toiletries (only a little hand wash gel and shower gel left in the containers)

The location was good, it was closed to the university and to the center.
The breakfast was amazing!
In the first day, I was a little bit confused when I didn't spot any reception desk.
The only recommendation I have is to have a reception desk.

We asked for gluten-free breakfast for one person, and every morning the staff did make it. Special thanks for that. And generally the breakfast was typical, we had the feeling to be a local person. The room was clean and comfortable. The location is perfect, ten minutes walk from the main shopping street and next to the beautiful Bellini Park.
We realised there was an elevator in the house, but it came up we are not allowed to use it everyday. But it was not a big problem, we could use it when we arrived and when we left.

The place is well placed in the city, you have acces to the city centre very easy.The building is beautiful, old and nice restored.
Our room was near the kitchen and in the morning it was a bit noisy, the breakfast starts from 7:30 am and we couldn’t sleep so much.Our toilet had a problem with the water running.
8.0
It’s very clean and well furnished. Breakfast is great and overall a nice experience.
Online check in did not work and there was no one at the reception when we arrived. It was difficult to enter the room.
10.0
The location is very nice, the rooms are clean and have their own bathroom. Despite being on a corner of two busy streets, the rooms are reasonably quiet.
There is no elevator and the steps are pretty steep, but if that is no problem for you the property is very much worth it.

Nice accommodation, close to the city center, restaurants and supermarkets very close by. Very well organized; got a ton of helpful recommendations for the stay concerning restaurants, sightseeing etc. by the host. Would book again!

Spacious room with a little balcony
It was very clean
The building is very cool. Really impressive old palazzo.
Nice location, everything is walkable, close to a very nice park
We had a special request and the owner was more than accommodating. Thank you Loredana.

The location was good.

The location was good, we found a street of bars and cafes nearby but next time I think I'd stay nearer the station. The home made jams at breakfast were very nice.
I mistakenly thought that breakfast was included in the price but was annoyed to be charged 10 euros per person when the website said 7. We arrived late and so didnt benefit from any information at check in - it was a self check in. Going up all those steps and through all those doors was an adventure late at night...! Could have done with extra pillows and the air conditioning in our room didnt work well, a hot night.

very high ceilings.
The owner wasn’t very friendly. I needed to work on the last day and when I asked if I could check out later, she started explaining how many people will arrive later and that it wasn’t possible.
not even in the common area as the cleaner will mind it. at the end I stayed and the cleaner told there were no guests arriving and she was absolutely ok for me to work there

Good location close to the centre of Catania and behind a beautiful park. The room was simple, but very clean and comfortable.
At the moment, because of building work, there is no elevator. Just something to note as the B&B is on the second floor and there are a lot of stairs.

Loredana is a fantastic host! We had a great time. The breakfast is really delicious, the room was very clean and not to forget to mention that the location is very near to old town. Grazie mille! 🙂

Lovely Bright Rooms. High ceilings and decorated nicely. Great Hostess. Very helpful. Printed off my boarding pass & got me my taxi to Airport.

very central location, easy access to the hussle and bussle of Via Etnea. This flat is a little gem that is locked away from the busy, dusty city and the rest of the building that needs a lot of work. Lovely decor, fresh, clean and bright, comfortable rooms and good windows to shut out the noise of the busy road.
Despite the other reviews, it does now have a working lift! Pretty terrace to have breakfast on or spend the day reading your book.
Very attentive and pleasant host. She very kindly agreed to hold our room until midday (we had vacated by then) to ensure our flight wasn’t cancelled and we weren’t left stranded (like we were on our way to Sicily!). That did take a lot of stress off.
Would be nice to have something other than cereals and pastries at breakfast. We certainly missed the hams, cheeses, eggs and bread we were having in other places.

The hotel was in a nice old building which fits perfectly in the Catania style. It has a nice terrace where you can enjoy your nice prepared breakfast. Big choice and all fresh food. Everything was very well organized and very clear. The stuff is very friendly and the managers were very helpful with all their local tips. It helped us a lot to get around. The service was really great and I highly recommend this place.

Clean, property refurbished
Incredible poor service quality - nobody for check-in (password for gate lock), communication through WhatsApp, no way to get information on city spots, …
… and the best : I asked for a taxi booking - showed up a ‘fake’ taxi, apparently an elder relative of the owner, obviously non official thus illegal. Who tried on top of that to overcharge the ride.
What a shame!

Very welcoming host, great location to access main sights and centre. Lovely terrace and delicious breakfast with lots of homemade cakes and pastries.
There wasn't anything that we didn't like.
8.0
Fair Value/Price. You get an apartment with all facilities for a good price. A bit far from the main street of Catania (Via Etnea) but closer to the train station. Catania is small, so not a big problem to walk. Breakfast was reasonable if you are not very picky, Terrace has good view for breakfast.
Bathroom was not super clean. A bit of mold around it. Toilet flush was hard to push but was working regardless.

Very friendly host and great rooms
Location a bit outside of the center but still manageable to walk

The price quality of the B&B and the location were good. They installed an elevator which was completed on the last day of our stay and even though we couldn't use it, it is a good improvement as there are quite a bit of stairs.
The room is a bit outdated and due to construction work on the building we couldn't use our balcony.

Great. The hostes had made homemade cakes and was super friendly and helpful.
