Bed and Breakfast Solsicily - Catania
Via Giovanni Di Prima 130 - Catania
877-662-6988The building, a palazzo constructed during the second half of the 19th century, and the interior of our B&B have been restructured according to an individual taste, without however disavowing the original characteristics of the era of construction.
Each room offers a harmonic, elegant and pleasant ambience, combining minimalism and comfort. Adjacent to each bedroom, each of which is fitted with TV, DVD player, and air conditioning, one will find a private bathroom. The rooms are cleaned every day and the linen will be changed regularly. The choice of breakfast, at last, is in accordance with the tradition of our beloved land.
B&B SolSicily is situated within the historic centre of Catania. This central location is the strong point of our B&B: ideal for these who want to enjoy seaside holidays without missing out on city life, as well as for those who want to move around the city effortlessly.

Solsicily B&B reviews

Number of stairs a real challenge, and locked doors and absence of lighting when entering lobby made access somewhat difficult. The room was OK but the noise from the toilet pump very intrusive. Breakfast was a free for all with cereal packets, bread, etc dumped on the table whilst proprieters sat and used computers. More of a back packer experience than what we had expected for the money. We did not find the area at all threatening but it was nearer bus station than it was to the main sights.

The owners of Solsicily were very helpful during our stay in Catania and our room was fine. It's true that the street where the B&B is located is in a bit of a strange area: it's in the center of the city but this street and a few others nearby are not in good condition. But don't worry, the main streets you need to walk along are fine, just avoid the dark alleys.

Very spacious bedrooms. No lift to go up to the 3rd floor, so you have to carry your suitcases all the way up, but it's feasible.

Christian and his lovely family treated us very well and were very helpful. Area is a bit dodgy and we weren't brave enough to go out at night time, but our room was big, airy and clean.

While on the fifth floor, it may not be a good place for some one older with health problems.

The helpful and very kind host and hostess was the best thing and of course the personality of Solsicily. The hotel was near the busstation and harbour.
