I will come back
the room in this old style Italian apartment was very large with a bathroom and balcony. Kitchen, coffee, mini breakfast available to guests. the facility is located on the square in a safe area, close to the train station, bus stop, 10 minutes from via Etna. I recommend.

We found the person who locked after us (Matteo) was excellent. He respnded quickly to any request we made. Overall a very rewarding stay.
Richard, 7-night trip

8/10 Very good

Comfortable and reasonably priced.
A good location if you are using the trains and buses. It is also in easy walking distance of the historical centre of town. The phone number on hotels.com is incorrect. The number to call to arrange check in is 39 3291576417.

Terrific Bed and Accomodations
We were greeted by Matteo who accommodated our stay. The bed was fantastic but the floor was clearly not mopped for quite sometime and was dirty. The room was large and inviting with a balcony window and a medium size bathroom. The room, however, was designed for tall people as the closet Rod and shower head could not be easily reached. The kitchen was conveniently located steps away from our room and was open all day with all amenities for a great breakfast.

Nous n’avons pas pu séjourner dans cet hébergement car nous avions réservé une chambre quadruple et l’hôte nous a attribué une chambre triple. Nous avons dû trouver un autre hôtel en urgence. Je souhaite un remboursement rapidement.

Posizione ottima necessita di manutenzione e cura.
Meno male che ci ho fatto solo una notte, tutto ebbe inizio da un cambio di struttura che forse non avrei dovuto accettare, chissà.Palazzo datato senza ascensore con portone centrale difettoso, bisognava passarci alcuni secondi/minuti prima di aprire il portone,camera poco confortevole, bagno mal deodorante causa problemi con lo scarico fognario di ritorno e impossibilità a farsi una doccia come si deve acqua dappertutto.

We finished up staying at a different B&B owned by the same person. Location was questionable. Room was pleasant but the breakfast was a walk away. Felt safe in the room but outside at night is not recommended.
