Pretty awful stay in Enna. The host would not let us check-in until 3pm, which I understand is the check-in time, but everywhere else in Sicily they allowed for a check-in at least an hour early, if not a few hours earlier. It was obvious we had traveled a long way on a hot and sweaty bus, but no, we couldn't check-in early. It is not as if the two rooms were spectacular or needed major cleaning, since the rooms are super basic, smell bad, and offer the cheapest pillows, sheets, and blankets. On top of this, the room was super super hot! The host is so cheap that he didn't turn on the AC to cool down the room, despite the 85 degree temp. Speaking of AC, if you rent the room on the second floor, the AC DOES NOT WORK and when I called the host, he said the remote control was in the room. It was not. The AC turned on via a light switch, but would only blow semi-cold air sporadically, so it was terribly hot. My friend's room on the third floor had excellent AC. So, if you must stay at this awful place, get the room on third floor. BTW- the host's wife got on the phone to yell at me in Italian and told me to open the window as a solution to the AC problem. The breakfast consists of day or two day old pastries they didn't sell at their overpriced restaurant. They'll try to get you to go to their restaurant. Their breakfast is overpriced at 7 euros for stale food. Overall, Enna is not a welcoming place. It's hot and dirty and the people don't want you there.

Nice location for a stay in Enna

Fabio was extremely helpful to us. He answered all our questions and went above his service by calling our next B and B to make arrangements for our next destination. Homemade treats by his mother, and super location on the town square. There was even a lift for luggage and one person. The only negative was no WiFi in our room. We simply went downstairs to the lobby and we were able to “connect.” It is a 200 year old building with lots of history. I highly recommend this lovely, interesting B and B.

Busy central street, quiet hotel

Apart from the nearby bells that chimed 143 a couple of times (not late at night), this was a surprisingly quiet stay in a room with two balconies on a sometimes-busy narrow street. Service was very friendly, including getting us and car to the (included) carpark and back on the free city shuttle. Breakfast in the interesting cave-like ground floor was good. Pity the cloudy weather made a castle visit pointless but the view across the nearby belvedere as the clouds rolled in was great.

Excellent Host - Clean Room - Good Breakfast

Room (#1) facing noisy street traffic but clean. Parking is not on site - it is a distance away in a free public parking zone. Wi-fi quality was okay. Breakfast is very good - a lot of choices except eggs. Fabrizio, the owner, is very kind and friendly - his English language not good but wemanaged to communicate. Duomo di Enna, (free admission) the Lombardy Castle (free admission) and the Tower of Federico, within walking distance. Restaurants are very close and a small pizza shop at the corner of the B&B by St. Francis Church and Via Roma - the axis of the town.

a memorable stay!

This family-run B&B hotel is centrally located in Enna, an ancient fort city built on top of a hill. It has been tastefully renovated with the barn cellar and several original features like the fireplace and an 'ice box' kept. The service is attentive and friendly and we totally enjoyed the 5 nights stay!

JUNKY old place

Kept my passport for 2hrs at check in and had to ask back for Irvin and told me that they had to resort it to police.
I have never had this problem while traveling .didnt give me a map for the city or any help with sightseeing.
No remote to operate the heater on the wall and very cold room.
The room size was 7'x15' and very small with a tiny bed.
I don't recommend staying here and many other places to stay.
There was no elevator to 1st floor and dark stairs with only a light at my entry
Door.it was old and didn't close properly and only had a latch on the inside to close it at night and I didn't feel safe.

Nobody in the staff speaks English!

We book the B&B a month in advanced, we had to change our plans and wanted to cancel the reservation (3 weeks before the date we booked) but nobody spoke English and they weren't very helpful at all, so we couldn't cancel the reservation because the staff is too lazy and greedy.

Rave to the owners of B&B Proserpina!

The owners of the Proserpina are special individuals. When I checked in the owner explained where I could park my car safely and without charge but when I had difficulty understanding where the site was, she rode with me to show the way and walked back to the B&B with me. Another example was when I checked out. I inadvertently left my passport in my room following check out. When it was discovered the owner quickly called the booking agent to retrieve my cell number and in turn immediately called my number to report the finding of my passport. Unfortunately, my cell phone was not working but when I realized 2 hours later my passport was missing I called from an unknown number and left a message. They called me right back to confirm they had my passport in safe keeping. I greatly appreciated their extra efforts and professionalism.

Good location and breakfast

The B&B's location is great and you can easily walk everywhere in Enna. The room was fine, WIFI worked, and breakfast was good.

It advertised Free Parking. However, \"Free Parking\" means that when you arrive they tell you where there is available street parking. This seems to be the standard in Sicily.

Also, one of the two roads up to Enna (its on a hilltop) was closed. When we called to tell them we were on the way, they didn't bother to mention this to us.

Enna

Centrally located Bed and Breakfast in this beautiful hilltop town. The staff was really helpful and friendly, the rooms are really nicely decorated, and they paid attention to the details. They had the best chocolate crossaints of all the places we stayed in during our 9 day trip around Sicily. Enna is really beautiful bustling town, people are so friendly. You can easily spend months there not worrying about anything. We were surprised that there weren't that many tourists there, and in our opinion its a town worth visiting. The views from top of the hill, especially the one towards Calascibetta are breathtaking. We will definetely come back again one day.

FOR ONE NIGHT ONLY

Enna is best visited by passing through, possibly visiting the castle. The only bright spot from the point of view of hospitality at this establishment was the owner's son who kindly drove with us to find a free parking spot. Apart from that, it was downhill all the way.
The room was small with a very low ceiling, bathroom facilities behind a broken folding screen, a curtain serving as a wardrobe, and dirty. We would have gone somewhere else if the town had not been full. The fitted sheet on the bed did not fit,so you woke up in the night to find yourself sleeping on a bare mattress - not a nice thought. Breakfast was sparse and mean. Cash was demanded on departure which, in view of the fact that the banks will not change even major currencies, we refused,

We stayed at Proserpina for one night in September 2011. It was a lovely place, the rooms were cosy and the luggage lift was useful! Breakfast was very nice. Don't be put off if you have a car, although there is no parking directly outside Proserpina, the very friendly and helpful staff will take you to an area where there is free car parking. Enna was a great place to stay, all of the people were incredibly friendly and we had a wonderful time.

Best Choice in Enna

I could not give top ratings all around only because there are some minor problems. This is an old place and the air conditioning was not working. The hosts were very apologetic and upgraded our room without being asked because of this problem. Supposedly they are working on a solution, but we did not have air in either of the rooms were stayed. There was considerable noise from the streets as well throughout Enna. BUT...the rooms were VERY nice and clean and the building was like staying in a Palace or castle. The hosts spoke very little English but worked very hard to please. The breakfast was wonderful and the hosts were eager to refill cups and plates. This is a small city in the heart of Sicily and we felt like the only tourists to have ever visited there! I know this was not the case but if you go to Enna you will see the real Sicily and will be rewarded for it. There is a Castle on a cliff at the edge of the city. Tour books barely mention it, but this is an Ancient fort build by the Greeks and transformed but subsequent invaders including the Normans. Its free to enter and quite elaborate to see. The views from the top rival Erice! I would stay with these hosts again and you will not be disappointed.

The hotel is on the main square and easy to find. Helpful staff came with me to find a carpark within easy walking distance. The staff were really friendly and had great recommendations for dinner (cafe centrale) and gelato (bar delizia by the duomo). Duomo is outstanding and the castle is a shell. Great views down the valley. Interesting road up to Enna but well worth it.
