The stairs on the way up. If you're walking everywhere and don't want to have to deal with stairs all the way to the top floor, then more stairs up to the main apartment part you stay in, don't do it.

It was perfect for me because, as a guest, I hate being looked after and catered on. I got a room, there was a fridge, an aircon and window. It was all I needed and it was made better by the fact that I could walk to everything from the location.

The kitchen cutlery and items to use to cook were not sufficient for me.

The location, the environment, and the space I had just for me, which included the bedroom, a corridor above which connected my room with the bathroom.

- Catania is not very clean city - accomodation on 4th floor without elevator, not suitable for older people

- location in city centrum - close to fish market - close grocery stores, restaurants

Stayed in August 2023

The host is very helpful and super nice, the location is great right in the city center, I recommend Casa Nipitella :)

However, between the hotel and the Via Etnea, there are some rather crowded streets that sometimes look a bit shady at night.

Location is very close to the city's high street "Via Etnea". Every tourist attraction can be easily reached by walking. A very helpful host who will give you good advice on how to spend your time in Catania. Also, a supermarket and daily market are practically next door. It was extremely hot outside, but the AC managed to keep my room cool.

I liked it all very much. But vacationers need to take into account that the apartment is located on the 4th floor without an elevator. For me it was fitness ...

Great location, center, restaurants, market, Lidl - everything is close and at the same time quiet apartment. Kitchen, shower, everything you need was. The road to the beach took 30 minutes - first a walk to the bus through the center and then a bus ride route D to the beach for 1€. I had a great time and will definitely visit this place again.

Either I missed the information but I didn't know I had to climb 4 flights of stairs to the accomodation. Very necessary in case the customer is not able to carry luggage.

Location was very convenient for my needs Air conditioning was necessary under the extreme weather conditions. There was a fridge in the kitchen. Local outdoor market was very handy to have just around the corner.

The room is really comfy. It was in a different level from the rest of the space, so I had a lot of room and privacy. The location is great, close to the main street and market, yet on a more quiet side street. I was happy with the arrangement for the breakfast, as I was allowed to eat it in any of the many close by cafes. I would definitely stay here again.

When arriving, I was walking Piazza Carlo Alberto street which is very close to the properly, that street seemed pretty rough, but during the day it's fine, once you get used to it.

Great location, you can reach the main street with shops and place to eat just within 2minutes walk, the metro is about 7min away. They had a massive street market just outside of the apartment. The host was helpful and nice, and overall good value for money.

It was very cold in the room because it had not been heated before my arrival, and the walls and furniture were constantly blowing out the cold, even though I tried to heat it with an old, noisy, small mobile heater. Also, it was very noisy, so at one point of the night I had to turn it off because I couldn't sleep because of the noise of the mobile heater fan.

The owner allowed to place my baggage in the room earlier than the check-in time. The location was good, clise to the city center.

Very nice and clean room, with perfect access to the main sights in Catania. Amazing food market just around the corner and main boulevard of Catania just 2 minutes walking distance. Very good value for money.

The b&b is located at the heart of the city. It is also easily reached by Alibus from Catania airport and in less than half an hour, you can find the Casa Nipitella. It is located at the upper floor of a palazzo, -no lift available, for those who may carry a heavy luggage. The room is simple, clean and quite pleasant. The air conditioning was working fine, so was the wifi. The bathroom was also very clean. Use of the kitchen is provided. The location is close to the central bus station, a 15' min walk.

The mattress on one side of the bed was quite worn out, and the door to the bathroom didn't close properly.

Very nice spontaneous stay in the beating heart of Catania. Simple, but clean and inexpensive room! All you need is there!

The apartment was on the uppermost of the building 4th or 5th? No elevator, so watch out for those who have large luggages 😂 No tv

Location is great. Near the market in piazza Carlo alberto. A bit noisy, but tolerable. In the center, just a litt bit of walking and your in the beautiful part of catania. Wifi is great Room is okay with shared bathroom. With a view from the back of the house, home neighbours view. Barely in the room,just to sleep. good value for the money. Not really something special. The owner of the house is also there staying in house can use the kitchen i think. Bed mattress was comfortable but the bed is a bit noisy 😉

The best about this place is the owner! You get a unique experience, communication with locals, great stories and recommendations. The place definitely has a character and atmosphere. Huge thanks to Massimo for showing me the city, telling about architecture and history of Catania, showing the city from "inside". Also it was sooo kind and sweet to treat me with a breakfast in the cafe! Location is perfect, just in the heart of the city, so it's really very easy to see the centre of Catania by walk. Many cafes and bars around.

We only met the owner when he gave us the keys. Just left the keys on the table before leaving. We were offered no breakfast. The bathroom was dirty, there were hairs everywhere, it was not cleaned after the previous guests. Bad smell of smoking.

upstairs hallway smells. half of the bed the mattress is very uncomfortable. you can feel the hard springs in it. luckily I’m only by myself so the half of the bed is normal. the shower room is missing one part of the door. no way to close it.

location is great! in the heart of the city. host is very nice and flexible. allowed me to use the other room to make work video calls cuz the wifi connection upstairs are not good enough for video calls.
