Catania has been a prize of many empires over the centuries, from Greeks to Romans to Arabs to Normans to Spaniards (to name a few). But its citizens have a more dangerous enemy right in their backyard—Mount Etna, Europe's largest and most active volcano, which destroyed the city with earthquakes and lava flows in 1693. Look closely at the baroque buildings dating from after the eruption—you'll notice a creative use of lava.

Ninni & Cristina are very pleased to open the doors of their home to all you fellow travellers looking for a friendly place stay, a real home-from-home, whether you are travelling on business or on holiday. The apartment is situated on the second floor of a sunny palace dating from the 1800s, with large windows and balconies overlooking the walls of the 'Ursino Castle', behind which our gigantic Mt. Etna dominates the landscape, its powerful presence creating a dramatic atmosphere. We are just moments away from the lively and historic fish market on the island ' La Pescheria', which is just at the bottom of our street. Here you can feast cheaply under the stars on local fish and watch the Sicilian life-style passing by while sipping a chilled glass of Sicilian wine. Our sunny rooms are spacious and lovingly furnished in Sicilian style, with private balconies, all of which offer a stunning view of Mt. Etna. All have 5m high domed ceilings. We offer a lush breakfast too.
Well, the approach was certainly off-putting, being on a very busy, noisy, and dirty street. Once inside the place is quite pleasant and Christina very welcoming. Our bed was comfortable though it did squeak a bit. That was not a problem as the street noise required us to use ear plugs in any event. Breakfast was excellent. Location is not far from the attractions of town. Overall good if you can tolerate the street noise.

The price of the property is rather fair. Nothing extraordinary about it, rather clean and with typical sweet breakfast. You can find free parking places nearby, ATM machine and some places to eat. Area seems quite OK-ish.

Zeer rustige B&B met mooi zwembad en zicht op de Etna. De tuin is zeer mooi onderhouden en het personeel is zeer behulpzaam. Deze B&B ligt net naast het 5-sterren hotel “Villa Neri” waar het fantastische ontbijt werd aangeboden. Dit was echt de moeite. Een aanrader.

It was close enough for us to drop our hire car off and walk to the accommodation - easily done in 15 minutes. Our room was fine and clean and had a decent bathroom. There is also a shared kitchen with fridge, microwave and gas hob if you want to make yourself something - good to know since they don’t serve breakfast. We didn’t get to meet the owner/manager, but he was easy to communicate with via WhatsApp. There is only one restaurant along the main road, but you can easily get a local bus into town for 1€. If you come back late you might need to get the Alibus airport bus - we did that and the driver dropped us off close to the accommodation.
