Crociferi B&B

I can’t recommend this place enough. The host Teresa is so nice and helpful (arranged for taxi service arriving and leaving), the room was historic and beautiful and the breakfast was excellent. The location is perfect. You can walk everywhere in the old part of town which is so beautiful. We had 3 balconies in our room, one of which looked out onto a beautiful church and at night outside tables were set up for the restaurant next door. We had the best pizza there our first night! The bed was very comfortable. We felt very safe walking around at night and Catania is so beautiful, especially at night. Thank you for your hospitality, Teresa. We hope to return some day!

We had a wonderful 3 night stay at Teresa's beautiful bed and breakfast. We stayed in the Leela suite and it was glorious, and such good value. We had our own roof terrace and balcony and it was perfect to sit and drink a glass of Sicilian wine and watch the sun go down over the city. Teresa was a great hostess and her breakfasts were delicious and plentiful, everything you needed to keep you going for a day of sightseeing or hiking Etna. We also loved the guesthouse for its comfort and architecture, the building and rooms are so beautiful - filled with memories of Teresa's travel adventures. We highly recommend this guesthouse and look forward to meeting Teresa again when we are back in Sicily.

Our stay in this place will remain in our memory for a long time. We had a room with a terrace overlooking the Katnia panorama, the sea and the church towers. A glass of wine and I really didn't want to go outside. It is perfectly located in the very center of attractions. Our room was spacious and clean. Italian and continental breakfasts with a selection of cold meats.

We stayed a week there. The plane was late and we were supposed to arrive at the hotel before 9pm. We arrive at 1am next day and the owner was kind enough to wake up to open the door. That was a nice start, thanks a lot for that ! Via Cruciferi is probably one of Catania's oldest streets, dating back to the Roman Empire. Today it is pedestrian, so very quiet, yet in the city center. Via Etnea is a couple of minutes away, the duomo a few minutes more. Excellent place really. The house... an old palazzo, to sure of the epoch. The bedroom ceiling is painted, just to make you happy when you wake up. Very large room, with a balcony, wardrobe, plenty of wall plugs to charge mobiles, computers etc. Even a large table in the center of the room for card players :-) The breakfast, excellent, expresso, cappuccino... various kinds of cheese, bread, home made marmalade, hams, fresh orange juice,... that's just what we ate. The lady knows her city and is willing to help. Which places are worth seeing, which guides to go to walk on the Etna (that was an experience), what are the good, real Sicilian restaurants around etc. Excellent week, and this place was part of it. Thank you Teresa !

Teresa is a fabulous hostess and I can't recommend her BandB highly enough. Her breakfasts offer a variety of sweet and savoury foods and her hospitality is warm and welcoming. Our room was spacious and the bed was large and comfortable, with quality linen bedding. The BandB is situated in an ideal position, on the edge of the busy part of town but in a quiet and historic street, close to quality restaurants and many of the historic sites. We would love to come back to Cantania just to stay here again.

Our great suite was on the second floor and in a lovely area of the city. Catania has beautiful architecture and lots of places to eat and hang out. A lovely multi lingual couple runs it with useful advice of things to do. Strongly recommended to everyone.
