Very easy to find, and close enough for a short walk from the train station. very clean room and very comfortable bed. A great variety of breakfast options including several freshly baked items. Mariella was very quick and responsive to any questions I had. I would stay again if I am in Palermo.

We stayed here for 2 nights. The hotel was clean, quiet and modern. The owner was helpful and kind. It is located in a quiet neighborhood and convenient for visiting Mt. Etna area. There was free parking across the street. I highly recommend this hotel!

We had a wonderful experience here. Check in was very easy and smooth. The location was right in the city center which allowed for easy site seeing and walking to food/shopping. There is a cable car a short walk away that takes you to the beaches. The hosts were very nice and helped us with booking a car. This felt very safe as you had multiple keys to get access into the building and the room. I feel a solo traveler would be very safe with this hotel.

It is convenient to drive to the Valley of the Temples and walkable to restaurants. The apartment is up one flight of stairs. Remote entry is easy if you have internet access. The place has 3 bedrooms that share a full kitchen. Parking is on the street, which is very quiet in a neighborhood. The owner is very responsive.

Had a wonderful time! Breakfast quality was top-notch, room was spacious and clean, and the pool area was first-class. We’ll definitely be back!! Our only disappointment was that no dinner options were available on-site.

This is an exceptional property with an exceptional host. The location is unbeatable no matter what your plan is. If you want to go to the beach, it is within a couple of steps. If you want to shop, there is plenty around. Same fir restaurants and other amenities. The design of our apartment was impecable and classy and Francesco, our host, was also great. Cannot recommend enough. We will definitely be back.

Wonderful! Carmello, the proprietor, made us feel like family. Not in the center of town but that was fine with us and it was only a 5 minute walk in any case. Our room had just been remodeled. Very tastefully done and, yes, luxurious. Would absolutely choose to stay there again.

The hotel is quite cool - looks unimpressive from the outside but inside the rooms are very modern and clean. We had 2 rooms on the top floor with skylights which had remote-controlled shades.
We were given code access to get in - which was perfect as we arrived early and dropped our bags off. We were lucky to fin street parking just across the street from the hotel.
The location was awesome. Right next to the bridge to Ortigia. Plenty of coffee shops and restaurants near by.

This was a pleasant surprise. A small hotel in a convenient location close to the center of town. Our room was very comfortable and immaculate. The bathroom was clean and spacious. We enjoyed breakfast each day. Very good value for money - less expensive than some bigger hotels but with charm and convenience. Recommended.

The rooms were beautiful, with simple classic design. The bed was wonderfully comfortable, the bathroom sparkling clean and modern.
The concierge was extremely amiable and prepared a delicious breakfast buffet for the guests.
This hotel is VERY CLOSE to all the sights in Catania, but is away from the bustle of the city center. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.

Palazzo Achates was perfect for us! It is in the center of old town on a quiet street and has been fully renovated with a beautiful modern minimalist design. I booked the last room available which, was described as small, but it was actually quite roomy and lovely. The owner answered all requests promptly and was wonderfully welcoming! He made us feel assured that the keycard entry to the hotel itself would work smoothly at any hour of the night, and it did. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Based on reviews I canceled my hotel and booked this B&B and boy am I glad! It was even better than expected. Easy check in instructions, central location, super clean, and great breakfast. The host helped me figure out transport to Catania and gave excellent dinner recommendations. Highly recommend!
