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.

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.

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.

Amazing place in the heart of Catania
The most quaint little b&b in the heart of Catania! We really enjoyed our stay at Sciara Larmisi and would recommend it to anybody visiting Catania! The location is great, within walking distance to all the important sights, and the staff is incredibly friendly! We felt so welcome here, and really appreciated the wonderful recommendations given to us by Giorgio upon checking in! The rooms are big, with comfortable beds, complimentary drinks and well-equipped with everything you could possibly need (even hair straighteners)! Unfortunately we had to cut our visit short unexpectedly, but everyone was incredibly understanding and helped us organise our departure as swiftly as possible - we really appreciated that!

Emanuele and Giorgio were AMAZING! They were so hospitable and welcoming (although according to Emanuele, Giorgio has the better smile), and their B&B was wonderful! The little things matter: complimentary drinks in the fridge upon arrival; slippers; FANTASTIC breakfast!; and entertaining cats (Nina and Nino). The breakfast is definitely a 4-star B&B breakfast! Just a short walk to all the major sites n Catania, and so near the train station. The park directly across the street provides wonderful Italian social entertainment in the late afternoon/evening, and all-in-all, this B&B is a real find!! (only one small suggestion: an extra couple of towel hooks by the bathroom sink would be extremely helpful!).

Great place you stay!
Highly recommend if you are coming to Catania, especially with a car. The location is fantastic and Emanuelle is such a great host - he sent is everything we needed to park and do self check in since we were getting in late. He also let us check out a bit late in the morning so we could have a walk around Catania without worrying about our luggage. And breakfast was delicious!

Response from Emanuele on 27 Sept 2022
nous avons une bonne vote parce que nous n'avons jamais reçu de commentaires comme le vôtre.désolé que tu aies eu cet inconvénient avec les draps. ça ne s'était jamais produit et je m'excuse, mais le vote d'un hôtel est fait par tant de choses, la courtoisie du personnel, l'emplacement, la taille de la chambre et la variété du petit déjeuner.nettoyer pour nous est essentiel, comme nous le voyons du résultat obtenu, un problème comme ça vous est arrivé me DOIT pas arriver, mais cela peut arriver. Excusez-nous

Emmanuel was very helpful -especially when I arrived late for check-in. The square was pretty but a bit intimidating at night! It wasn’t far from the main square in Catania, which I enjoyed. Breakfast was not amazing and really needed freshly boiled water for tea, better milk and a wider array of international foods. Overall, a good stay.

What a gem! The owner and his wife run a lovely, and clean property. Breakfast was wonderful everyday, and the little things they did, like provide toothbrushes, slippers, tea and a kettle - fantastic and kind! The outdoor terrace was a beautiful setting for breakfast or a late night glass of wine. Highly recommend!
