Crociferi B&B

I can’t recommend this place enough. The host Teresa is so nice and helpful (arranged for taxi service arriving and leaving), the room was historic and beautiful and the breakfast was excellent. |The location is perfect. You can walk everywhere in the old part of town which is so beautiful. We had 3 balconies in our room, one of which looked out onto a beautiful church and at night outside tables were set up for the restaurant next door. We had the best pizza there our first night! The bed was very comfortable. We felt very safe walking around at night and Catania is so beautiful, especially at night. Thank you for your hospitality, Teresa. We hope to return some day!

We had a wonderful 3 night stay at Teresa's beautiful bed and breakfast. We stayed in the Leela suite and it was glorious, and such good value. We had our own roof terrace and balcony and it was perfect to sit and drink a glass of Sicilian wine and watch the sun go down over the city. Teresa was a great hostess and her breakfasts were delicious and plentiful, everything you needed to keep you going for a day of sightseeing or hiking Etna. We also loved the guesthouse for its comfort and architecture, the building and rooms are so beautiful - filled with memories of Teresa's travel adventures. We highly recommend this guesthouse and look forward to meeting Teresa again when we are back in Sicily.

Wonderful, blissful stay at Crociferi B&B! We stayed in the Leela Suite and it was so nice! The terrace view was breathtaking. Not to mention the kind host Teresa...and her dog! If you're looking for an intentional, slow tourism stay in Catania look no further than Crociferi B&B!

We booked in January 2024 for two nights on September 2024. Three days before we were due to arrive we had a message that someone else wished to stay and they were giving the room to them. We could have stayed one night but as we were staying in Catania 2 nights we would have had to move on next day to another place at great inconvenience to us. So we had to find another place at the last minute. She recommended a place with no assistance for us. That place was full. No apologies. Just chiao. Poor service. Untrustworthy. We booked direct. Perhaps booking via an agency she may not have treated us so poorly.

We stayed a week there. The plane was late and we were supposed to arrive at the hotel before 9pm. We arrive at 1am next day and the owner was kind enough to wake up to open the door. That was a nice start, thanks a lot for that !||Via Cruciferi is probably one of Catania's oldest streets, dating back to the Roman Empire. Today it is pedestrian, so very quiet, yet in the city center. Via Etnea is a couple of minutes away, the duomo a few minutes more. Excellent place really.||The house... an old palazzo, to sure of the epoch. The bedroom ceiling is painted, just to make you happy when you wake up. Very large room, with a balcony, wardrobe, plenty of wall plugs to charge mobiles, computers etc. Even a large table in the center of the room for card players :-)||The breakfast, excellent, expresso, cappuccino... various kinds of cheese, bread, home made marmalade, hams, fresh orange juice,... that's just what we ate.||The lady knows her city and is willing to help. Which places are worth seeing, which guides to go to walk on the Etna (that was an experience), what are the good, real Sicilian restaurants around etc.||Excellent week, and this place was part of it. Thank you Teresa !

Our stay in this place will remain in our memory for a long time.|We had a room with a terrace overlooking the Katnia panorama, the sea and the church towers. A glass of wine and I really didn't want to go outside. It is perfectly located in the very center of attractions. Our room was spacious and clean. Italian and continental breakfasts with a selection of cold meats.

The B&B is great. It has a great and quiet location. We walked all over downtown from there. The ceiling of our large room was a work of art. Literally, a work of art. There is a small balcony to stand out on and watch the life on the street. There is a table and a small sofa and chairs as well as a bed in the room. And Theresa, who runs the place, is terrific. From providing the great and plentiful breakfasts, to help with booking taxis to and from the airport, to printing boarding passes and even helping us with our minimal Italian. The place is clean and there is a small fridge and a kettle to make the tea and coffee provided in the room.

What a wonderful experience staying here! Our host was incredibly helpful, ensuring we got an ealy morning airport cab. The room was huge and beautiful and the bathroom had everything needed. Would love to return to spend more time in this historic, quiet neighborhood. This street is considered the most beautiful in Catania by many.
