We stayed in this hotel for three nights. Our room had a very nice big bed, lots of light and met all of our requirements. The luxe-bit is expressed through a good high on sweets breakfast (but hey....it is Sicily after all!) and loads of shiny objects throughout the room, bathroom and lobby; it has a certain strange rococo-like atmosphere....

this is a real gem in the city centre of a fantastic city. Attention to details at its best! the only inconvenience you may have , if you are here on business, it's the start of breakfast; 8.30 is perfect on holiday but not on business...and since there are really fab Sicilian pastries it's a shame to be in a...

Besides the fact the hotel is a real gem and a genuine boutique hotel, the people at the hotel are impressive and... unusual hospitable!!! They're simply great each of them: Gabriella, Salvo, Valentina, Valeria!!!! They helped us a lot and had tones of patience! The rooms are incredible (it's the "chic-est" hotel I've stayed)! The purple room was love at... More

I organised this room for my brother and his wife for their stay in Catania as part of a honeymoon gift. They stayed here last year in early September and was very impressed with the location, service and lovely decorated rooms. The staff were friendly and helpful in organising this room as a surprise prior to the arrival without any... More

We spent 2 nights in this lovely B&B. On first arrival in Via Biondi our impressions were 'oh my God, in this dirty old street?' the B&B is basically a big appartment on the first floor of an old building. Once inside it is really lovely renovated into 4 rooms and a cozy breakfast area. Our room had a distinct... More

This place is best described with one sentence: When visiting Catania, stay here! The 4 room B&B is unrivalled in terms of convience, decoration, hospitality, location, and price. All the rooms are individually furnished with hiqh-quality items, such as Louis Vuitton beds, Valentino wall posters, lamps, chairs etc.. The owner (and host) has hand picked all the items in the...

We stayed for one night here. We enjoyed our accomodation here. Our host and also one of the owners, Day, was very nice and congenial. The breakfast was very good too. It is right next to the centre of Catania and also relatively close, wthin a walk-distance, to the train station. We recommend this place to anyboy visiting Catania.

We stayed here for one night only and would definitely stay here again. The rooms are terrific and the breakfast excellent. The location cannot be faulted being close to everything including the Fishmarket. This is definitely a first class B & B. You will not be dissappointed.

Our 3 nights at b&b Gem de luxe in the 'Moka room' last week was a great way to wrap up our visit to Sicily. As other reviewers have commented on, the rooms appear as they are on their website - clean, spacious and tastefully decorated. The beds were wonderfully comfortable. The only thing i could nit pick was that... More

We chose this Hotel because it looked very special in the pictures and the reviews were outstanding. The truth? It is! A great surprise from refinement and care in the building, decoration and service.
