Very adequate and clean B and B
I had a very pleasant holiday in this nice B and B. The owner supplied good information in advance and during my stay( via WhatsApp). He arranged for Tony, the driver , to collect me from the airport and deliver me there at the end of my stay. The room was large, very clean and they changed the towels and sheets every day. The location is very near a railway station and only a 20 minute walk from downtown. Coffee good. Croissants not.

Nice Location, But Ugly Accomodations
Great location, but room was very small and unattractive (i.e. Very odd wallpaper that did not match very ugly bedspread, etc). They really need to renovate - and decorate so that there is some kind of aesthetic charm!

Very welcoming
Enza, our host in Al Mare in Citta was exceptionally helpful and gave a lot of time to help us get the most out of our stay. The accommodation is basic but good and is kept clean - the air conditioning was a must and worked well. The location is out of the centre of Catania, but well placed for the local 'beach' (mainly rocks, with a little black sand) and swimming - and some good eating places, too. We found Catania to be a good place from which to visit other eastern locations in Sicily, although less of a destination in itself.

The reception was good. The owner was very nice & full of knowledge. She help us with places to eat & things to see. We really liked the place for the price. We get to see how people who lived there lived since the place is right in the city.

très spacieux, confortable, accueil excellent
Enza accueille les visiteurs très chaleureusement. Elle est très disponible pour apporter tous les renseignements et aide necessaires. La chambre est Idéale pour visiter Catane et s'éloigner facilement en voiture. Elle est confortable et bien équipée. Le métro et le bus sont à proximité. Un petit port à l'ambiance "petit village" se situe juste à côté.
Compter 10/15€ pour rentrer du centre en taxi au tarif de nuit.

Accoglienza e posizione
Ottima posizione, a due passi dalla spiaggetta di San Giovanni Li Cuti e dai bar, ristoranti e pizzerie. Molto tranquillo. La signora Enza ti fa sentire a casa, unica pecca la parete del bagno un po' scrostata, ma son dettagli.

Super Aufenthalt
Herzlicher Empfang von Enza, sie ist immer hilfsbereit und hat auf alle Fragen eine Antwort. Das Hotel ist sehr sauber und man fühlt sich wohl. Nah am Meer gelegen mit netten Restaurants, 30 min zu Fuß bis ins Zentrum Catanias.

Graziosa sistemazione, vicino al mare, originale.
Ideale per chi cerca una sistemazione diversa dai canonici hotel e più gradevole di anonimi B&B. La camera è ristrutturata in maniera originale e con tocco personale. Comodissimo il poter fare colazione quando si vuole e come si vuole. Una chicca il terrazzino con piccolo (ma emozionante) scorcio sul mare. Letti su un soppalco con scala ripida (da evitare per chi ha problemi motori o bambini piccoli).

Perfetto sotto ogni punto di vista.
Meglio di come me lo aspettavo !
Perfetta la posizione, l'accoglienza e la disponibilità della Sig.ra Enza, la pulizia, ....e che dire della colazione? Poterla fare anche in camera non ha prezzo! !!
Ci tornerò sicuramente! !!!
Nous avons passé 4 nuits dans cet hôtel. L’accueil fût vraiment chaleureux. Le cadre est sympa, les lits confortables, le petit-déjeuner était bon et nous avions une terrasse. Je recommande vivement cet hôtel :)

Suosittelen!
B&B kotoisalla huoneella lähellä rantaa. Alle 2km juna- ja bussiasemalle, paikallisbussin pysäkki lähes vieressä. Pari hyvää pizzeriaa 50m säteellä, se parempi heti alakerrassa. Iso supermarketti, josta saa kaiken, 300m päässä. Aamupala aina valmiina huoneessa ja jääkaappiin täytettiin mitä uupui. Kapselikahvinkeitin ja mikrouuni käytävässä vapaassa käytössä. Omistaja oikein mukava ja avulias sekä englanti taipuu hienosti. Kyydit lentokentälle ja -kentältä edullisesti etukäteensovittuna. Suosittelen jossei pienet kävelyt asemalle ja keskustaan ole este.

Côté Mer à CATANE
B&B discret mais confortable avec tout ce qu'il faut sur place pour le petit déjeûner... Relativement facile à trouver en suivant les avenues du bord de mer... Parking dans la rue sans problème particulier à partir du moment que l'on respecte les règles de stationnement payant le jour (2,40€ la demi-journée).
