We really liked our stay at B&B Gisira. Silvia was very helpful and kind. The room was very clean and practical. It is located in the very centre of Catania, and the perfect starting point to experience the city and go to Taormina, Siracusa and the Etna. Would recommend!

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Neben Zimmern zur Straße gibt es offensichtlich auch ein Zimmer zum Innenhof. Die Balkontür öffnet den Blick zur 5x5 Meter großen Lichtöffnung, die sich ca. 10 Meter über dem Balkon befindet. Untermalt wird dieser dunkle Eindruck mit einem laufenden Kühlkompressor und einer Waschmascine im Innenhof. Der Schlagzeuger / Musiker aus dem angrenzenden Nachbarhaus (am Kopfende unseres Betts) verstummte zum Glück vor 23 Uhr. Auf dem Toilettensitz konnten wir uns Setzen, wenn wir die Duschabtrennung beiseite geschoben haben. Leider war das Zimmer 10 Grad kalt, weil nicht vorgeheizt. Nachvollziehbar, weil auch die Klimaanlage nicht heizen wollte.

Cute place and excellent location! At night, there are several good restaurants in Via Gisira. In the morning, there’s a charming fruit and vegetable market. The b&b is also an easy walk to most sights of interest in Catania. The place itself is simple, but clean and comfortable. Highly recommend. Oh, and if you’re driving, as in advance where to park. There’s an easy public parking place nearby.

Questo B&B è stato recentemente ristrutturato, pertanto abbiamo trovato il locale che sapeva di nuovo. La stanza ben accessoriata, con infissi nuovi e doppi vetri che isolano perfettamente dal risveglio del mercato sottostante. Molto pulita, pulizia e cambio asciugamani giornaliero. La proprietaria molto gentile e disponibile. Lo consigliamo per qualità del locale e per l'ottima posizione, pieno centro zona pedonale. La colazione in luogo separato a 2 minuti di distanza in un locale simpatico e giovanile. Siamo stati molto bene lo consigliamo.

Sehr zentrales B&B

Die Vernieterin Gina ist sehr nett. Das Frühstück ist eher einfallslos ohne frische Produkte, deshalb ist dieses B&B eher für Kurztrips geeignet.
