“This B&B places you well for exploring Catania's cultural heart, a short walk from the cathedral and Bellini Theatre. I noted the sea-view rooms, complete with balconies, as a particular asset. While basic, it covers key needs with Wi-Fi, and the vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free breakfast options are a thoughtful touch.”
