Good things were the terrace right on the water where I drank my coffee in the morning, a friendly caretaker named Rakis who was very cheerful and accommodating, a black and white dog, and the sea right at my doorstep.  I had to cajole a little to be able to go swim earlier than 8:30. The door to the main house, which is also the access to the sea, is locked between 8:00 pm and 8:30 am.  The sea there is at times rough and at times dirty, but that is every where in Catania. I don't know about the breakfast because in Catania the only breakfast I want is granita and brioche midmorning, but I think you can ask pretty much for what you want.  You have to special order, though.  My room got cleaned up some days and not others.  It looked  pretty random. Overall a good value for the price.

No fuss B and B right on the water

Lucia and her friend (Outch, I forgot his name) were very kind and welcoming. We arrived late because of airplane delay but that was no problem. We arrived around 4.30 pm and lucia asked us if she could cook for us, which we gladly accepted. At 6 o'clock our food was already ready. The food was delicious. Including a nice dessert! 
The view you have in the garden over the sea is amazing! We loved to have dinner and breakfast in the garden. Though the sea can be rough so it is difficult to get in and out the water because of the rocks.
Our room was also nice with a big balcony and a big bathroom. Thank you for the nice stay!

We Felt very welcoming! 

Okay my husband and I travel a lot, and we were so pleased with all our 
accommodations on our recent trip to Italy, but this was horrible!! Thanks goodness we only booked one night! Arrived at 4 pm, to find another lady with a small child trying to check in as well. We waited 1 hour outside of gate, and my husband finally had to call the owner, who could not be reached. Then we called booking.com who we booked this place with, and they finally reached the owner who told us to come back between 7 pm -9 pm. Okay, so we went back into the town of Catania and went sightseeing and ate dinner. When we arrived back around 8 pm, a young man, who did not speak much english answered the door. The downstairs area smelled of heavy cigarette smoke. I mentioned that, but was ignored. To get to our room we had to climb a 3 flight of very narrow and dark spiral staircase, which was very dangerous, especially when you are trying to haul up a piece of luggage!! This place is rundown, dirty, and I felt like I was staying in an overnight flop house. The pictures are very deceiving!! They must have been taken years ago. The only redeeming quality is the view and the parking across the street, but place is hard to find, and it is not located in Catania, but in the outskirts. They offered us breakfast for $10 dollars, but when we looked downstairs the kitchen was dirty and I saw the microwave which looked dirty inside. Really the customer service was poor, and property is rundown and dirty, and unsafe for US standards this property would not even be a 1 star!! Lastly, the daily price is high for this property!! Another thing is I thought I had already been charged thru booking.com, and apparently was not, even though I registered my credit card, for some reason the owner did not know how to charge me, so she wrote me a threatening email saying she was going to report us to the Police. I then called booking.com and had them meet with me on a conference call to pay this lady so I would have a witness. Not sure of this experience, was very shady, and I have never encountered being threatened like that.  I repeat, I am of sound mind, and a frequent traveler who reads all of these reviews, I know sometimes people read these and say, oh that is just one person, but trust me on this one - "Do Not Stay Here"!!

Beware!! Do not book this one I am serious!!

Great place to stay just in front of the sea.

Lucia, the young owner and chef  is nice and friendly.

The room is very clean, with an imazing  big terrace.

Food is the best in Sicily.

We'll come back again in summer.

a wonderful stay

Run down.broken,no WiFi,no bulbs in lights,ceiling falling down,cardboard where there should be windows,no tea or drinks facilities,no breakfast facilities, no access to beach when we were there.Its like a flop house....
This place is awfull.Its not a hotel,its not even a B+B.
If there was a score lower than 1 this place would deserve it.
Photographs to be uploaded later.
