Wonderful B&B suite in Catania
Great B&B in downtown Catania within walking distance to main piazza. Was greeted by Manuele who was cheerful and gracious. The room was spacious and clean with double exposure to the park and street and triple pane windows (with bug screens!!!!) making the room quiet. The crisp bedding was 5 star quality. The shower was the best we had during our 30 day stay in Sicily. We were not able to stay for breakfast because of an early flight but instead was given a voucher for a delightful patisserie/bar a block away which was greatly appreciated. Highly recommend!

The best B&B I have ever stayed at - outstanding hospitality and good location. I wish them many more years of success
Nice highlight was the complimentary drinks in the mini bar

We stayed for one night before our flight home. The location is very convienient for getting to the airport. Emanuele was a great host and the communication was excellent. Sadly we were unable stay for the breakfast as we had an early flight. However, the breakfast options seemed abundant. We appreciated the water and pop in the small fridge in our room. Thanks Emanuele!

Great location for visiting Catania however not without its faults. Hosts were pleasant, the room was spacious and clean..however the room had ants crawling all over in the bathroom, there was no safe, no glasses for water or soft drinks, the towels weren’t changed at all on a 4 night stay which I’ve never come across before, the breakfast was basic and you had to be up early enough before it was cleared out by other guests. I was also randomly asked for our key on the last day as it was asserted I wasn’t a guest which was a bit random. Also the buzzer on the intercom doesn’t make a noise so you’ve no idea if you’ve pressed it correctly. Would stay again but with the high scoring reviews expected more. 7/10

Our accommodation exceeded our expectations - the property was in a central location at a charming piazza. The room was spacious, the facilities were modern and the breakfast was enjoyable (fresh eggs and coffee made to order). We wished we had more time to enjoy the place.

This hotel is a gem! The communication was great and check in was very easy. It’s located right next to the city center so we were able to explore and find many restaurants that were very close by! It was clean, modern and comfortable. We had to leave early so didn’t get to enjoy the breakfast, but it looked wonderful!

Our stay at Sciara Larmisi was just right. We arrived for one night at the beginning of our trip and stayed again 2 weeks later before flying out. The location is awesome- right near a bus stop, very walkable to the main piazza as well as awesome restaurants and shops. The hotel itself is really beautiful- very clean and welcoming rooms, the staff are amazing, available, and very accommodating. We loved our breakfast on the terrace overlooking Piazza Cutelli. Additionally, we were 2 women travelling alone and felt very safe and at home in this beautiful hotel. We absolutely recommend this hotel for anyone who is visiting the amazing city of Catania.
