Stayed at De Curtis Palace for 7 nights and we were pleasantly surprised. After arriving on a Monday later than expected we took the Alibus from Catania Airport (4 euros per person) and alighted at Catania train station and then we were unsure where to go, so I asked the local Polizia who were very friendly and ensured we got to the B&B as they hadn’t heard of it. One officer even shone the torch on the bell to make sure its was correct - grazie mille. The owner/manager was very friendly even if his English - like my Italian - was very limited. Looking from the outside you’re not sure what to expect but inside the room it’s lovely and clean and there was a complimentary savouries/coffee on our arrival in the room. The room was cleaned each day and if the towels were left in the shower they were replaced. Not recommended for people who can’t manage stairs, there was 82 up to our room on the second floor! There are no elevators. Breakfast is in a cafe about 2 minute walk from the B&B - you have to get your ticket each day to get your free breakfast which consisted of a coffee/tea & a croissant. It was enough to keep you going to lunchtime. It is in quite an interesting area as about 50 metres away is the Red Light district & the women were out during the day & night!!! But they didn’t bother us and the B&B was near the local bus/train stations & near local eateries. I would stay there again without hesitation

Please do not eat from the restaurant (a different place from the hotel, situated on the same street (nr63, i don’t remember the name), as we saw bugs Walking on the food.... a dissaster! We strongly recomend to be very carrefull were you eat. Go in down town old central, and you can eat very good.
