Crociferi B&B in Catania, Sicily

Crociferi B&B occupies the first floor of a noble palace from the beginning of the 18th-century, situated on Via Crociferi amid Catania's UNESCO World Heritage baroque churches. Catania Cathedral is a 10-minute walk, while the Greek-Roman Theatre and Piazza Università are a few steps away. The famous Catania Fish Market is a 3-minute walk from the property.

All rooms have a private balcony overlooking Via Crociferi street, with en suite bathrooms that include a hairdryer and free toiletries. Some rooms are suites with a private roof terrace offering a wide view over Catania and the sea. Rooms are decorated with antique charm and modern functionality; one two-bedroom suite has a central living area with a couch and TV between the bedrooms.

Breakfast includes fresh fruit and orange juice, homemade cakes, jam, cold cuts, cheese, eggs, and hot drinks. The host serves a cappuccino, yogurt, juice, cold meats, cheese, and bread for a 10-euro breakfast. Guests can use the shared kitchen and communal dining area.

The B&B is family-friendly and welcomes all sexual orientations and identities. Pets are permitted on the property. The host can arrange airport transfers by taxi and provides local restaurant recommendations.

Private parking is available in a gated, locked courtyard. The building has a lift that services lower rooms, though the top-floor rooms require climbing a small staircase beyond the lift. Multilingual staff (English, German) assist with check-in and local advice.
