In the vibrant heart of Catania, Casa Barbero Charme B&B welcomes its guests in an elegantly restored residence dating back to the early 1900s. This charming bed and breakfast harmoniously combines traditional architectural details, such as stuccoes and Liberty-style frescoes, with modern and minimalist furnishings, creating a warm and refined atmosphere. The five rooms, each with independent entrance and private bathroom, are decorated in cozy tones and enhanced by fabrics that evoke feelings of comfort and intimacy.

The breakfast, served in the private courtyard of the property, is a moment of pleasant conviviality, where the freshness of local products blends with the care and attention to detail that characterize Sicilian hospitality. Casa Barbero, active for more than twelve years, prides itself on passionate management, able to offer personalized hospitality to each guest who crosses its threshold.

Located in the historic "Città Vecchia", the B&B is just a few steps from Via Etnea and other significant attractions such as the Botanical Garden and the Benedictine Monastery. The central location allows for convenient exploration of Catania's vibrant cultural and nightlife, just a short walk from bars, pubs, and traditional markets. Additionally, necessary comforts for a practical and pleasant stay can be found nearby, including a bar, a supermarket, and restaurants serving fresh fish.

Thanks to its proximity to metro and bus stops, the property is well-connected to major points in the city, making it easy to reach the airport, railway station, and port, allowing visitors to explore not only Catania but also the wonders of Sicily. Thus, Casa Barbero Charme B&B presents itself as an ideal retreat for those seeking a stay characterized by elegance and local warmth.

sven

Charming B&B located in the romantic courtyard of a historic building. Tasteful spacious room with a modern bathroom en suite. Perfect location to discover Catania's city centre, you can either walk or take the underground just around the corner. Antonio is a very friendly host, he helped me a lot with his recommendations for restaurants and how to travel around. Many thanks and see you next time!

stayed from 06/10/2024 to 06/13/2024

The answer from the host:
Grazie Sven! sei l'Ospite perfetto! A presto, Antonio

An excellent place to stay in Catania. Our apartment had 2 bedrooms, lots of storage, a well-appointed bathroom. Pleasantly situated with a nice garden. Our host, Monica, was very pleasant and helpful. The only shortcoming is the lack of chairs in the apartment. Highly recommended.

stayed from 11/22/2019 to 11/23/2019

Place of peace, beautiful structure with super clean and comfortable rooms overlooking a magical little garden. Upon wake up, a delicious breakfast welcomes us accompanied by sweet music and the smiles of the hosts. What can I say? If you need to stay in Catania, choose this place without thinking twice.

patrizia

Renovated structure following a criterion of conservative recovery and with the insertion of modern furniture very suitable to the environment, our room was fine. Worth mentioning the very nice and welcoming inner courtyard. We had breakfast in a room equally beautiful and familiar, good breakfast, the owner very helpful and rightly proud of his B&B.

stayed from 03/15/2018 to 03/17/2018

The answer from the host:
Grazie Patrizia! Alla prossima, Antonio.

grazia

The door opens and you immediately get the impression of being in an oasis of peace in a garden where you can enjoy everything for breakfast in the morning. You go up to the spacious rooms, carefully furnished, we had the one with the terrace, nice and clean, also the bathroom. Antonio, the owner, is very kind and helpful, highly recommended.

stayed from 10/06/2017 to 10/07/2017

Ciao Grazia, è stato un piacere!! Antonio.

renata

Enchanting place, an oasis of peace in the city, very pleasant and professional hosts. I recommend the choice without a shadow of a doubt.

stayed from 07/14/2016 to 07/15/2016

donatella

You can breathe the air of the ancient Sicilian noble palaces refurbished with a splendid contemporary taste, nothing is left to chance. Magnificent the central internal garden that welcomes you upon arrival. Excellent organization also in providing all the information for entering the B&B even in the absence of personnel. The owner of the property is extremely kind. The only downside was having stayed only one night. I recommend it to anyone going to Catania.

stayed from 05/09/2016 to 05/10/2016
