B&B Chapo

Pippo is an excellent host and we really enjoyed our stay. The breakfast was good with fresh fruits, juice and sweet/sandwich menu based on preference. He recommended great places to visit and eat. The room was clean and the interior is very interesting.

Pippo (Giuseppe) is really the most amazing host. My husband booked this through *********** but I feel compelled to write a review rather than wait for him to do so. I am overwhelmed at the hospitality of this lovely man- this would definitely rate 10/10 for a stay in Italy ( I had written a scathing review about apartment 16 Via Salomone in Ortigia managed by “Wonderful Italy “ which gets 2/10 in comparison) Pippo kindly picked us up from the bus station as he had a family commitment and he realized we might turn up late, then he proceeded to carry my hugely heavy luggage up 4 flights of stairs. We met up with our daughter and her partner as their itinerary coincided with ours for Ortigia and Catania and went to Sicilia in Bocca for lunch, a recommendation from Peppe. Fabulous bread as I love bread and great pasta, another of my favorite meals. Breakfast is simple but filling, I really enjoyed my panino with mozzarella and tomatoes and ham. As we leave early to Catania airport to rent a car, Pippo kindly offered to bring our breakfast the night before but generously added a sweet wine and biscotti for an after dinner drink. Our room overlooks a piazza that leads to Teatro Bellini so you can people watch from our balcony, we even went down and had drinks with our daughter and her partner at Comis, a lovely place for drinks. Although there is much activity and noise, on shutting the windows, the room is very quiet and peaceful. The air conditioning and Wi-Fi work well ( unlike our apartment in Ortigia) so our comfortable stay as well as Pippo our incredible host has placed this in the top 5 % of places we have stayed at in all the accommodation my husband and I have had over the past 35 years of travel
