Very nice location with amazing staff, Gabriella help us a lot and give us very good recomendations about the island. The room was awsome. Good breakfast. The B&B is on the first floor, but the lift was too small for our stroller and we had to carry the stroller upstairs.

This little B&B is very conveniently located in Catania: it's within walking distance from the Dome and the main square, and there are a number of pleasant restaurants and bars nearby. The staff was very helpful and very welcoming, and the rooms are very stylish and elegant. Ours was also very quiet, as it didn't overlook the street. It's a... More

We spent 4 nights here recently. The location is excellent on a quiet side-street off Via San Guliano just 5 minutes on foot from the Cathedral Square. We received a very warm welcome from the owner who gave us a guided tour of the city on the streetmap including all the relevant sights and where to eat. The room decor... More

My husband and I have just returned from Sicily and have spent a week at the excellent Gem DeLuxe. We got lost when we arrived as it was dark and late. After a frantic phone call Gabriella came and rescued us and then presented us with a bottle of champagne as it was our honeymoon. It couldnt have been a... More

II could write here about the lack of parking places and the noise on the streets (although I think all the southern Europe city centers are like this we saw it before in Italy, in Spain, everywhere) :) I could maybe try to find some negative point such as a lack of space to put the clothes if you come...

Arrival to Catania Airport was smooth and seamless, however the area around the airport is neglected and a bit abandoned, as is the road towards the city. We (my husband and I) did not have the GPS navigator, it was the first time in Catania therefore we called the B&B many times asking for direction. The owner, Salvo, was always... More

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....
