B&B Sciara Larmisi

From the moment I walked in, Emanuela was exceptional. He welcomed me, explained everything to me and as a solo traveller he gave me a lot of ease. He recommended a restaurant as I was hungry and it was insane and the accommodation, WAS 10/10. Spacious, a couple minutes walk from city centre, very very safe and highly recommend.

We stayed at this B&B for 3 nights in Catania. The host Emanuele was incredibly helpful in giving directions, suggesting restaurants, and arranging for our taxi to the airport. The accommodation we had was a lovely 2 level unit with a 2 piece bathroom on the first floor and a full bath on the second next to the bedroom. There is a full kitchen, eating and living areas. The unit was very clean and we had everything we needed. We were walking distance to many important sites and a good variety of restaurants and commerce. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and our accommodation definitely contributed to our stay in Catania. Thanks to Emanuele for everything.

We spent three nights at the B&B in early October 2025 and had a great time. Overall, highly recommended.
Location: Overlooking a pretty but busy square on one side, and a very busy road on the other. Close to all the sights and a short walk from the railway station.
Atmosphere: Definitely feels like a centrally located B&B.
Rooms: Ours was massive — it was a family room on the same level as the breakfast terrace — with windows overlooking both square and road. Well-equipped and spotlessly clean.
Value: Good value. We spent a bit more on our large room than we would have done for a double but definitely worth it.
Noise: Open the windows and there's plenty of street noise BUT close the windows and it's perfectly quiet. The rooms are air conditioned.
Breakfast: A decent buffet spread and a nice terrace overlooking the square.
Service: Could not be faulted. The B&B arranged an Etna hike for us, which was top notch.

Great location. Short walk from the airport shuttle bus stop. Only had one flight of stairs to negotiate. The manager, Giuseppe, was charming and extremely helpful. Our room was airy, comfortable, had great A/C and a nice bathroom. We were at the rear of the building so it was nice and quiet. The B&B is housed in a beautiful old building and the rooms had lovely high ceilings and it was simply but tastefully furnished. Breakfast was typical continental food but tasty and fulfilling! You could eat out in the terrace if you wanted to brave the heat! I loved this property and was sad that we had only booked one night as we were flying home the following day.

Our family had a truly wonderful stay at this B&B! From the moment we arrived, the host was incredibly kind, welcoming, and helpful—making us feel right at home. The room was spotless, cozy, and well-prepared, which gave us a very comfortable stay. Breakfast was absolutely delicious, with fresh and tasteful options that started our mornings perfectly.
What makes this B&B special is the personal touch—everything feels thoughtfully taken care of, from the warm hospitality to the little details that make the stay enjoyable. The atmosphere is peaceful and homely, perfect for families.
Overall, we had a fantastic experience and would highly recommend this B&B to anyone looking for comfort, kindness, and a memorable stay. We’d love to come back again!

We stayed at this lovely b&b last November in Catania for 3 days. It is situated in a good location close to the Central train station (about a 15-20 minute walk) and close to the Piazza del duomo as well as the Catania cathedral (7-10 minute walk) B&B is off a square and in an old palace Art Nouveau 19th century building. It is on the 1st floor and there is also an elevator. B&B is clean and has a charming decor with an amazing terrace filled with plants and flowers. Room was a good size and had comfortable bedding. A kettle, tea and coffee were provided and a free mini bar fridge stocked with water and other items. Continental buffet breakfast is provided. They also served some delicious omelettes when we were there. On the buffet we had some of the best Sicilian olives we ever had and pepperoncino. We ate breakfast out on the terrace as the weather was warm and sunny. Our hosts Giuseppe and Emanuele served us and were kind and friendly to us. They informed us on all the best places to see and restaurants to go to. A big thank you to both!
Catania is an amazing place filled with Baroque buildings and incredible history. We visited the Catania cathedral in the main square and Catania fish market. We also visited the Greek, Roman theatre which is a must see. There is also a Roman amphitheater we passed on our walk through the city.

We had a wonderful stay at a B&B in Catania last night. The room was spotlessly clean, and the amenities exceeded our expectations. Breakfast on the rooftop terrace was fantastic—beautifully presented with a wide variety of delicious items and colorful decorations that truly surprised us.
At the beginning our kid was not happy as the outside of hotel looked very old but once we entered our suite, it suprised us. It was totally renovated with large room space and modern — large bathroom.
Another good point; it was very close to tourist attraction spots.
The only thing that needed to be resolved is the shower. My kid said the hot water supply was not sufficient.
A special thanks to Giuseppe, who was incredibly welcoming, professional, and helpful. He made our stay truly memorable. Thank you so much for your kindness!

Great staff. Large one bedroom apartment. Very clean. Breakfast was simple but good. They were happy to make me a cappuccino each morning. They only (minimal) downside is the tiny shower. Location is good — quiet square five minutes walk to the main square.

What a fantastic place to stay. From the location to all the staff was great. Perfect place to stay in the lovely city of Catania.
Easy to get bus from/to airport.
Fish market and main square ten mins walk.
The lovely touches in room were great.
Keep up the good work.

Host Emanuel is exceptional — he responds to messages at lightning speed and is incredibly helpful, whatever the issue.
The value for money is excellent and the central location is unbeatable. The Alibus airport bus stops just three minutes away, making travel super convenient. The rooms are tastefully decorated and very clean, although you can expect some traffic noise in the rooms facing the street.
Overall a fantastic stay — I would come back any time! 5 stars!

The B&B was quirky and charming. The staff was welcoming and extremely helpful without being intrusive. The rooms were spacious and playfully appointed. The food was the best breakfast that we had on our trip. The location was central within easy walking distance of the local sites. We would definitely stay here again.

Excellent location. Quiet, but only a short walk to many local attractions. The room was comfortable, quiet, and the AC worked well. The breakfast buffet was nice, and having it on the terrace was even better. I would definitely come back to this location the next time I visit Catania.

B&B located in an apartment block on first floor, easy access. Reception available to 20.00pm, after that you access via key code & room key is in a key safe on first floor. Alibus from airport drops you off 50 meters from front door. Walking distance to all attractions. B&B clean & comfortable, good bed, nice bathroom, shower good, no bathtub. Breakfast was adequate & you could sit outside on a nice balcony area. Host would make you a variety of hot drinks, there was a selection of cereal, ham, cheese, egg, some nice sweet cakes, fruit, enough to start the day. Overall a really good stay & would stay again when next in Catania. Emanuel, the host has some great restaurant suggestions.

Excellent B&B in Catania: the room was nice and well furnished, the breakfast is very good, it was a pleasure to take it on the terrace and enjoy the sun. The staff is very nice and welcoming. The location is close to the center and there is free parking at the bottom of the building (it is often full in the evening, but we have found parking places around). The only drawback was the noise during the night although we were in the top of the building, but Catania is a lively city! I definitely recommend it for a next stay in Catania.

Fantastic… clean, cozy, hearty breakfast, Emanuele very nice, in the center of Catania. Attention to detail. Thanks also for all the good suggestions we have been given!

Fantastic facility, all brand new.
Central location, you can walk to the center in 3/4 minutes.
Friendly and helpful staff.
One of the best accommodations I have ever tried in Catania.
