This hotel is perfectly located near public transport (train, bus) and the city center at a quiet city square. The staff is extremely nice and helpful (tips about the highlights of the city, etc.) and breakfast was amazing! I highly recommend.

Giuseppe and Emmanuel were amazing hosts! We arrived very late after almost 24 hours of travel and were pleasantly surprised at how quiet the rooms were, given the lively piazza below the apartments on a Saturday night. (Excellent people watching from the terrace or at the pizza restaurant across the piazza).
Breakfast was outstanding, with Giuseppe hosting, and he was so accommodating to our family of 4 - parents and 2 adult children. When we come back to Sicily, it will be our pleasure to stay at Sciara Larmisi again!

In love with this place! The location was awesome, walking distance to everything and had a beautiful view. Very comfy room with all amenities. Host was extremely nice and helpful. The breakfast was delicious and had the most amazing terrace. Can’t recommend enough. Thank you!!!
Simran
It was overall exceptional, I personally just had lots of trouble opening the doors. I would also say Catania is scary and not what I was expecting but the hotel made me feel a bit safer and better about ending up here 😂
Aaron
We really enjoyed our stay here. The unit was spacious, with a full living room area, leading to a nicely appointed kitchen. Upstairs there was a larger bedroom with a double Bed, as well as an extra bedroom with a single, and then there was a bathroom downstairs. Both bathrooms had showers. The unit was very clean and comfortable. We really enjoyed the location as it was about a 10 minute walk to the historic city Center, and located on Just Boulevard (we could hear a small amount, outsidestreet noise in the unit, but ear plugs took care of that). There was one challenge, which was some construction being down in front of the building, but the manager Emanuele went above and beyond to help smooth the way, met us at The street, helped us with parking, and gave us lots of great tips. He even scheduled our taxi for the next morning, which was extremely early. Is friendly, and helped make sure that our stay was very smooth and easy.
Kevin

Great property in a great location. Host was amazing. Great breakfast on the terrace
Robin
Emanuele went well above what any other hotel manager typically does. As a first time visitor to Italy/Sicily, he helped me coordinate transportation and gave me recommendations for things to do while I was in Catania. He and his staff made an excellent breakfast and cappuccino. I highly recommend this hotel.
Mary Kathryn
This property was so beautiful! The staff was extremely helpful, and the room was spacious and very accommodating. We were traveling with three, and each able to have our own bed in the loft-style room.
Deborah
A really lovely place to stay for a couple of nights in Catania. Comfortable bed and big bathroom. Breakfast was delicious and there's a lovely terrace too. A really friendly welcome and definitely recommended.
Mark
Pleasant b&b on the 1st floor of an old building. Although our room overlooked the noisy street, the French windows and shutters kept the room pretty quiet.
Away from the heart of the tourist area, it is only a 5 min walk from the airport bus stop, and 15 mins from the excellent 1943 museum.

Our favorite part of visitng Sciacco was the place we tayed. Our host Silvio was so helpful - in greeting us, helping us finding a parking space, and orienting us to the room, and making recommendations for dinner. This is a special place - like a museum with a beautiful renovated space in a 2000 year old \"cave\" (where we had a incredible breakfast). Silvio has great passion/enthisiausm for the property. He shared the story (history) of the building and how he and his brother renovated the space. And, he also gave us a personal tour of 65 edible and medicinal plants that his family are growing in the alley next to the BnB. This was an unforgettable experience.
Jean
Lovely property and very gracious host! Delicious breakfast buffet which you could eat outside on a lovely terrace!!
Richard

Jake
Great, clean room with proper sheets, pillows, towels and everything you need, nothing was missing. Excellent value here, I will definitely visit again if I'm in Catania.

Carla
This place is a hidden gem! We were met by Emanuele who was very accommodating as our flight plans were disrupted and our arrival delayed. The room was more like an apartment and was extremely well equipped and very lovely. He had prosecco and soft drinks cooling in the refrigerator, as well as some light snacks and coffee for the following morning. He gave us restaurant recommendations that did not disappoint! The breakfast the next day was delicious and provided many options, including someone to make us cappuccino. There is a charming outdoor balcony overlooking the little square outside. We could see the ocean from the balcony off of our room. The hotel was easy to access via a bus or taxi from the airport. I wish we could have stayed longer-everything was wonderful! Highly recommend.
Razan
I absolutely loved this property. It was safe and Emanuele was incredible. So accommodating. The flat itself was so spacious and clean. Had everything I needed!

Excellent communication before our stay and very friendly and helpful host. The room was beautiful and very clean. The bus to the airport stops just opposite so it was a very easy location.
David
We had a wonderful 3 night stay at Sciara Larmisi and would 100% recommend!
The host was fantastic, excellent communication prior to arrival with clear details on how to check in out of hours, breakfast was lovely and if the weather allows, absolutely make sure you enjoy it on the rooftop terrace!
The B&B is spotlessly clean and staff and room was very comfortable.
Location is excellent too, within 1 minute walk to bus stops for the airport shuttle and main square and via Etnea are only a short walk away too.

The staff were extreemly helpful. Needed to message the host in the evening due to an issue in the croom and got a prompt and understanding reply. Also the host was extreemly helpful in arranging a local excursion.
Frank
A nice peaceful retreat after a day of exploring catania. The staff were so friendly and helpful, and the price for value was unmatched. Would definitely stay here again!
Jessica
Great spot, lovely pool and views, clean apartment. Everything in Taormina is uphill - this was no exception. This was about a 20 min uphill walk on stairs in good order to Taormina and about a 20 min walk downhill on some fairly overgrown stairs to the beach. But the quiet of the location was definitly part of the charm.
Brian
Excellent, wish we could have stay longer! Staff was very friendly. They gave us croissants for our trip to mount etna

Clare
This was a lovely small hotel/b&b. We had a warm greeting. The room was spacious and had what we needed. The breakfast terrace was lovely. The buffet was nice and I liked that I could help myself to coffee.
My only negative wasn’t really the hotel’s fault - Expedia flagged it as including free parking which was a big factor in choosing it. Unfortunately the free parking was on the street and not belonging to hotel. We did find some fairly nearby on arrival and right outside the hotel by the evening. So it wasn’t really a problem just misleading of Expedia’s site.
Very happy to recommend this as a good choice for exploring Catania.

I was very happy with this property. My room was quiet, clean and spacious. It was exactly what I needed to relax.
Verified traveler
This is definitely more of an apartment rental than a hotel rental. The space is laid out well with plenty of the space, and the staff is super friendly and welcoming. However, the AC doesn’t work. The AC was turned on, but it was still 80 degrees in the room, which made it impossible to sleep. Since it’s an apartment rental instead of a true hotel, when I gave up on attempting to sleep due to the heat at 4am, there was no front desk where I could ask to change rooms. I’m sure great in the winter, but do not recommend in the summer.

Very clean and friendly host and close to main centre. Good location!
Hamidreza
Super clean and beautiful design, host had a nice and warm welcoming, he was so nice and even gave his parking spot to me. Everything in the fridge was free and he waive the city tax as a favor. I will use this hotel again if come to Catania.
John
Great location
Eileen
Excellent location with helpful and friendly host. The apartment was great and I would have liked to stay longer. Tiny shower, but everything clean and sufficient for a pleasant stay.

Catania Overnight
Stayed only one night, but the room was comfortable and well located for sites and restaurants. The hosts were very helpful and friendly.
Anthony
Excellent place to stay in Catania
Good location; excellent breakfast; clean room; very friendly. I arrived after reception was closed and they provided excellent information about how to gain access.
Denise
Excellent communication with staff - room was spacious & clean, good water pressure in shower and bed extremely comfortable. The location was maybe a 10 min walk to Via Etnea and the main duomo square - easy walk from Alibus stop (though not with luggage but that’s my fault!) and the breakfast provided with the lovely terrace was wonderful
Alicia
Great stay
Great host. Great breakfast. Room was big and bed comfortable. Excellent location. Elevator was nice.
Janet
Great location, staff etc very helpful & efficient. Very good continental breakfast - would definitely recommend. However, if using a hire car - driving in Italian cities is not for the feint hearted!!
SALLY
Fantastic B&B hidden in the center of Catania. The room was perfect with all the amenities (coffee, fridge, ironing board) and very comfy bed. The host is quick to respond and very welcoming when we checked in. Highly recommend!
Chris
Enjoyable, friendly stay in lively B& B in Catania
Huge double room with extra single bed. 2 window/ balconies. Lovely tile room and very nice bedding and furnishings. Bathroom shower spacious and good flow and hot water. Nice breakfast room with seating on sunny terrace as well . Good food. Very quiet location on a piazza. Short 6 min walk to Duomo square with many restaurants. Given map with main sites explained by the owner with some restaurants recommended which were really good and reasonable. All historic area in Catania walking distance. Went to Museum of Allied Landing WW2 which was very good. Enjoyed our 3 days in Catania. It’s a very lovely city and markets interesting too.

I stayed there for one night and throughly enjoyed the b&b and the area. Much to my surprise, my room was almost cleaned when I got there (earlier than check-in) and the host offered me coffee while I waited. Great staff and cute room! I would definitely return.
Jon
Very large apartment style rooms, remodeled inside think IKEA , contemporary style, very very clean, staff very helpful, in old town where restaurants thrive and pedestrian style shopping district, great location to walk Catania and check out the sights!
Kristina
Giuseppe and Emmanuel were so sweet and very helpful in guiding us to Destinations that were just beautiful. We loved our stay next to one of the last remaining city Squares; every morning the old Italian men would gather and talk that was so cool. The studio apartment size room was very comfortable. The breakfast was delicious. There was seating outside on the balcony with a view of the baroque style buildings. A blast from the past. We truly miss Catania and B&B Sciara Larmisi, shopping, eating and most of all the Italian people. We pray to visit in the future.
Debbi
Very good short stay.
Paige
We truly enjoyed our stay. The host was so welcoming and accommodating. Breakfast was wonderful. Wiuld definitely stay there again.
Jamie
Great time here, Guiseppe was very hospitable to us. We checked in early and we're able to leave our bag after we checked out as we had a late flight. Would definitely recommend
Walter
Very good host, who waited for us at the door, and helped us to secure a free parking slot. The room is specious and elegant. We really like the location, where is pretty much walking distance to every attraction. If the breakfast can upgraded a little bit, it would be perfect 5 star B&B. Regardless, we would like to stay here again if we visit Catania again.

Excellent

Lovely inn property. Rooms are named for mythological figures 🙂 Proprietors are super nice. Breakfast was great.
Gianni
Wonderful B&B suite in Catania
Great B&B in downtown Catania within walking distance to main piazza. Was greeted by Manuele who was cheerful and gracious. The room was spacious and clean with double exposure to the park and street and triple pane windows (with bug screens!!!!) making the room quiet. The crisp bedding was 5 star quality. The shower was the best we had during our 30 day stay in Sicily. We were not able to stay for breakfast because of an early flight but instead was given a voucher for a delightful patisserie/bar a block away which was greatly appreciated. Highly recommend!
Babu
Excellent location, clean room, very responsive management team. Clear instructions to check in via WhatsApp. Breakfast was excellent (despite not having a large choice). Great communication via WhatsApp regarding any queries. We stayed in a 3rd floor apartment, Cariddi (family of 4). Had a sofa bed, double and queen sized bed with a kitchen and 2 bathrooms (a smaller one upstairs - limited space in the shower, but can be used if needed. It was noisy on Saturday night with honking cars, but rest of the nights were ok.
Sami
Nice outdoor patio, friendly and helpful owner. Good breakfast. Great value and close to everything.

Catania B&B
Best host in Sicily! Had a wonderful stay. Great pension, large room and fabulous breakfast on the balcony. Close to everything and Emanuele assisted in finding a parking spot! Hidden gem…
Gary
Great B&B. Owner is welcoming & helpful. Nice location, great unit, convenient to central plaza.
Randall
Giuseppe was very helpful at check-in. Staff helped us get a parking spot at night. Very good breakfast in the morning. We were able to leave our luggage there the morning we checked out. Very good location, walking distance to major sites.
David
The best B&B I have ever stayed at - outstanding hospitality and good location. I wish them many more years of success
Nice highlight was the complimentary drinks in the mini bar

We stayed for one night before our flight home. The location is very convienient for getting to the airport. Emanuele was a great host and the communication was excellent. Sadly we were unable stay for the breakfast as we had an early flight. However, the breakfast options seemed abundant. We appreciated the water and pop in the small fridge in our room. Thanks Emanuele!
Frederick
Located in the city center - the property is convenient and clean. What is most pleasant is the city of Catania. Ten times better than Palermo!!
Verified traveler
Excelente location, very staff friendly, beautiful terrace. Excellent breakfast! The only issue was the bathroom odor coming from the shower drain. Overall we would recommend this place!
Terry
Lovely place. Good breakfast too , which is the one downside to Sicily normally.
Beverly
Staff were lovely and very helpful
daniel
Great location for visiting Catania however not without its faults. Hosts were pleasant, the room was spacious and clean..however the room had ants crawling all over in the bathroom, there was no safe, no glasses for water or soft drinks, the towels weren’t changed at all on a 4 night stay which I’ve never come across before, the breakfast was basic and you had to be up early enough before it was cleared out by other guests. I was also randomly asked for our key on the last day as it was asserted I wasn’t a guest which was a bit random. Also the buzzer on the intercom doesn’t make a noise so you’ve no idea if you’ve pressed it correctly. Would stay again but with the high scoring reviews expected more. 7/10
Rhiannon
The best stay!
We absolutely loved staying here. It was right in the perfect location and we walked to everything. Comfortable beds, clean room!
Edmund
Our accommodation exceeded our expectations - the property was in a central location at a charming piazza. The room was spacious, the facilities were modern and the breakfast was enjoyable (fresh eggs and coffee made to order). We wished we had more time to enjoy the place.
Kristin
This hotel is a gem! The communication was great and check in was very easy. It’s located right next to the city center so we were able to explore and find many restaurants that were very close by! It was clean, modern and comfortable. We had to leave early so didn’t get to enjoy the breakfast, but it looked wonderful!
Liz
Our stay at Sciara Larmisi was just right. We arrived for one night at the beginning of our trip and stayed again 2 weeks later before flying out. The location is awesome- right near a bus stop, very walkable to the main piazza as well as awesome restaurants and shops. The hotel itself is really beautiful- very clean and welcoming rooms, the staff are amazing, available, and very accommodating. We loved our breakfast on the terrace overlooking Piazza Cutelli. Additionally, we were 2 women travelling alone and felt very safe and at home in this beautiful hotel. We absolutely recommend this hotel for anyone who is visiting the amazing city of Catania.
Stephen
very nice, good location, friendly staff, we highly recommend it.
Gary
Emanuele kindly helped us find a parking space right outside the door and we liked everything, including the room, the breakfasts, the staff and the location.
Sam
Unbelievably generous and kind service. Personal, passionate and proud of their B&B.
If we're ever back in Catania we will be back.

One of the best stay I had
Bruce
The amazing reviews convinced us to book and we were pleased to discover that everything was as advertised or better. Emmanuel was very kind and helpful. We have already booked another stay.
Tanya
Lots of space and friendly helpful people
This was incredible value for money, and a lovely place in a central location. The room was basically a beautifully furnished apartment, with a bedroom, living room and kitchinette with balcony, two bathrooms and a wardrobe. A lot more than we had expected! They'd thought of everything, including an iron, spare blankets, a fan, pots and pans, coffee machine, some free soft drinks and a washing line for laundry drying. Emanuele was very helpful communicating with us in advance to arrange arrival times, and Giuseppe was a great host when we arrived and he showed us around. Wonderful breakfast (with an outdoor terrace for when it's warm). The only slight negative was that the street was a bit noisy - but that's Catania really and if you want to stay somewhere central then of course there will be street noise.
Xiang
Good location and kind staff
Good location, close to the main attractions (5 minutes walk). Staff are very kind and helpful.
Kevin
Excellent location for exploring Catania
The welcome to the hotel was warm and especially informative. We found all staff friendly and helpful. Locating the hotel was relatively easy and it is only a 5 minute walk from one of the airport bus stops. Buffet breakfast on the hotel verandah was enjoyable. The room was large enough and the bathroom was clean and well-appointed. It was an easy 6-7 minute walk to the centre of town and scores of restaurants and cafes.
