BAD is in the beating heart of Catania: in a XIX century building, next to the historical fish market “la Pescheria” and within a stone’s throw of the Cathedral and main monuments of the city. Furthermore BAD is only a few minutes away from the airport, the train station and the port, and just 100 meters from a bus station which connects to other main Sicilian resorts.

Abbiamo prenotato questo b&b all'ultimo momento perché ci hanno cancellato un'altra prenotazione in un'altra struttura. Il b&b si trova vicinissimo al centro, a due passi da Via Etnea e dal Duomo. Purtroppo la struttura non è tanto bella, i muri sono in cartongesso (quindi si sentivano tanto i rumori sia del piano di sopra che lateralmente), bagno ampio ma doccia piccolissima, palazzo molto vecchio e con necessari interventi di manutenzione. Aria condizionata presente e funzionante, biancheria pulita. Pulizia degli ambienti scadente. Colazione self-service, presenti latte, succhi di frutta, yogurt, merendine, tea e macchina caffè ecc. Proprietario disponibile e gentile. Il prezzo per la zona è veramente basso quindi forse non si poteva pretendere di più. Altra cosa la camera che ci è stata data non corrispondeva alle foto sul sito. Che le altre camere fossero migliori della nostra? Translate this text

There was no toilet paper. The whole place was smelling of Arabic cigarettes which was so strong and awful. So noisy - we could not sleep. So dusty. It was not good at all.

A 5 min d'une des places historiques de la ville et d'une gare routière, accueil toujours impeccable avec beaucoup de facilité pour arriver et quitter la chambre. Chambres propres au décors originaux. Tout cela invite à revenir souvent pour visiter Catane et ses environs ou pour faire une halte entre l'aéroport et les Iles éoliennes. Translate this text

Alloggio spazioso e pulito, esattamente come descritto. Posizione stratosferica a due-passi-due dal mercato del pesce e quindi da Piazza Duomo. Titolare molto gentile, disponibile e preparato. Consiglio. Translate this text

Ottima posizione, personale cordiale, belle stanze (la stanza numero 2 ha una doccia fantastica!). La colazione è servita in un bar in piazza Duomo a poca distanza dal B&B. Translate this text

La caratteristica principale di questo B&B, al di là dell'arredamento particolare, è la posizione strategica e tranquillissima, a due passi dal centro storico e di fronte al mercato del pesce, inoltre le persone che vi accoglieranno sono veramente gentili e disponibili pronte a rispondere ad ogni vostra domanda e a risolvere ogni problema. La struttura è pulitissima! l'unica pecca i bagni. Translate this text

The Owner

Alessandro
More info
At the BAD, you can breathe in all the creative flair of Giulia and Alessandro, the two owners and curators. With a background in advertising and graphic design, they have expertly crafted each of the spacious and comfortable rooms to exude their own unique atmosphere. Expect to discover psychedelic wallpaper, charming 18th-century Sicilian trinkets, vintage furnishings, and works by emerging artists. Each room at the Bed and Breakfast is a state of mind, a color, a feeling.
