Well, Catania was a surprise and we were so glad we chose to stay a few days here. The Palaazzu Stidda Catania was just what we were looking for a beautiful little Sicilian B&B. We absolutely loved the location and the streets below came alive at night with lively music happy hour plenty of places to eat. Once we were in our apartment and the balcony doors were closed it was peaceful to sleep. This apartment had everything we needed the lovely older couple that were cleaning and caretaking were extremely friendly & helpful. Great communication with the host. If you’re looking for a traditional Sicilian vibes in your accommodation this is a place for you. Our hot tip is happy hour and bruschetta downstairs at Vularie the best Hugo spritz ….in Sicily

It was very spacious with a separate bed, living, kitchen and bathroom. It was very “original” with pieces of antique furniture and quirky features.

The TV didn’t work initially but the owner quickly organised someone to come and fix it. Nicer wine glasses would have been nice. It was a bit noisy at night with bars around but didn’t bother us.

Quirky and location is central

Wi-Fi was not very good, sun terrace was nice however to get to it was tight, air conditioning was average

The house is beautiful and well decorated with all the old fashioned items on display. Location was good, next to the city center and close to all the main points

- The owner gave us wrong information about the ZTL (traffic limited zone) which will probably result in a fine - The bed was on an elevated loft-style platform, and it was very uncomfortable to climb up to. In addition, the ladder used to access it was quite dangerous, as it had no handrail. - Wifi did not work a lot of the time - There was a bad drain smell in the bathroom. - There was no regular table, only a bar-style counter with high stools. - The room was located above a bar which had loud music until 01:00 and was quite noisy
