5 Balconi B&B

Guests praise the varied, quality breakfast and convenient location near the historic center. Rooms are clean, cozy, and spacious with efficient air conditioning. Some offer a balcony with a view.

Highly recommended! My hosts Rob & Cristina are incredible! Extremely friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the local areas. Great advice & clear instructions on what to see, where to eat & how to go. And they will go out of their ways to try to provide assistance as far as possible. I had an ankle sprain & stayed indoors the whole day on my last day in Catania. Rob bought me pizza for dinner & Cristina helped me get a taxi to the airport the next day. I cannot thank them enough. Grazie mille! Location wise, 5 Balconi is just 5-10 mins away from the fish market, Piazza del Duomo, and the Alibus stop (for the Airport). All the major sights are also within walking distance. Plenty of good restaurants nearby. Excellent! Note that there are two bathrooms to be shared by guests & there is some street noise. Ear plugs are provided on-site. All in all, HIGHLY HIGHLY recommended!

The location was ideal, close to all important sites in Catania. Also very convenient to book tours to Etna, Taormina, Syracuse, etc and close to the airport, bus and train stations. What stood out mostly about our stay was the hospitality and kindness of the host Rob as well as a great personalized breakfast. Rob was always available and seemed genuinely happy to answer our questions on places to visit. When we arrived , he sat down with us and gave us a map of Catania with recommendations on where to eat and what to visit. We enjoyed our stay so much that we extended our original 3 night stay to 4 and even returned an extra 3 nights at the end of our tour in Sicile. We highly recommend 5 Balcony.
