The location is very good. Centric, relatively easy to reach. If you are coming by car from the north road (E45 down from Messina) then it’s actually quite straight forward to get there. If you are coming from the south and you don’t have experience driving in Sicily , I’d avise continue north in E45 until you can access from the north instead of from the airport. You really don’t want to go through all Catania city to reach the place. Parking is decent in Parking Italia! The staff there is very nice. 15 euro to leave it overnight. Building is one of those classic Italian buildings, very cute. The check-in and checkout process is very smooth.

The property has the downsides of any other old centric building. You can hear everything from the street. We went in june and it was hot . The aircon did its best but sometimes wasn’t enough (also sleeping w aircon is awful ) Opening the window meant hearing ambulances, people yelling, cats fighting at 2 am, mosquitos getting in etc etc. The bathroom was not the cleanest. There was a lot of buildup in joints, in the shower , sink, between tiles, etc. Again, I believe this is all mostly because the building is old.
