Bellini Home B&B0

We asked for gluten-free breakfast for one person, and every morning the staff did make it. Special thanks for that. And generally the breakfast was typical, we had the feeling to be a local person. The room was clean and comfortable. The location is perfect, ten minutes walk from the main shopping street and next to the beautiful Bellini Park.

We realised there was an elevator in the house, but it came up we are not allowed to use it everyday. But it was not a big problem, we could use it when we arrived and when we left.

very central location, easy access to the hussle and bussle of Via Etnea. This flat is a little gem that is locked away from the busy, dusty city and the rest of the building that needs a lot of work. Lovely decor, fresh, clean and bright, comfortable rooms and good windows to shut out the noise of the busy road. Despite the other reviews, it does now have a working lift! Pretty terrace to have breakfast on or spend the day reading your book. Very attentive and pleasant host. She very kindly agreed to hold our room until midday (we had vacated by then) to ensure our flight wasn’t cancelled and we weren’t left stranded (like we were on our way to Sicily!). That did take a lot of stress off.

Would be nice to have something other than cereals and pastries at breakfast. We certainly missed the hams, cheeses, eggs and bread we were having in other places.

Great location. Next to a beautiful park. Everything you need within walking distance; restaurants, grocery store, shopping and all the main sites. There’s a beautiful park you can walk through, which leads you to everything.

Lots of stairs up to the rooms. There is a small elevator, but you need to ask to use it. It’s not visible from the entrance. It’s a little noisy from the street noise, but if you keep your windows closed it’s not a problem. The breakfast is not that great.

Loved the location and the host Loredana. I booked a smaller room for my friend and myself to stay in and it was the perfect size to come back from a day of sightseeing. Right next to Bellini park, Loredana's is in a great area near the city center, easy to get to with the airport shuttle, and doesn't have too many stairs to walk up to (although she also has an elevator). Check-in was easy to do as well when I got in a bit later so if your flight arrives a tad later, no worries. We didn't take her up on the breakfast offer as we were out doing tours both days but the space was lovely and the spread looked nice. The bed were super comfy as well and the B&B is in a quiet area ensuring that we slept well after being out and about all day.

Very nice room, clean and spacious. It is in great location, staff is very nice and helpful, we had a great time for our honeymoon. Breakfast is nice, they even have almond milk for coffee. It is very nice, even better in person!

When ventilation is toilet turns on, it has a bit of a noise. Big bed has 2 matreses that can separate a bit when you sleep.

it was easily accessible and the instructions to come in and out were very clear. the rooms are serviceable and have a mini fridge (important when hot outside) as well as a good aircon system that’s not loud.

the beds are on the harder side and the pillows could be better . also very limited toiletries (only a little hand wash gel and shower gel left in the containers)

The BnB was right next to villa Bellini a beautiful park. Easy Walking distance to the center of the city & easy access to train station by bus

Wish we had instructions on how to access private elevator during checkin. Many stairs to cart our luggage to second floor.

The hotel was in a nice old building which fits perfectly in the Catania style. It has a nice terrace where you can enjoy your nice prepared breakfast. Big choice and all fresh food. Everything was very well organized and very clear. The stuff is very friendly and the managers were very helpful with all their local tips. It helped us a lot to get around. The service was really great and I highly recommend this place.

It’s very clean and well furnished. Breakfast is great and overall a nice experience.

Online check in did not work and there was no one at the reception when we arrived. It was difficult to enter the room.

Normally we travel a lot but this is the first time we have decided to write a review about our stay. Loredana, the owner of Bellini, and her friendly staff make an exceptional job. Especially Loredana took her time to give us recommendations about what to do and what to eat in Catania, answered all of our questions and helped us when we had some personal problems. The rooms are really clean and comfortable. The temperature in Catania can be really high but there are air conditioners in every room so the hot weather didn’t effect us as we thought. The breakfast is exceptional with its homemade local specialties. We are already looking forward to our next visit to Bellini.
