A few steps from the historic Fish Market and the beautiful Piazza Duomo, BAD is the first designer Bed & Breakfast in the heart of Catania
that will surprise you with a unique mix of hospitality and creativity.

Ideal for leisure or business trips, at the BAD one breathes the creativity of Giulia and Alessandro, the two owners and curators from the world of advertising and graphic.

In the spacious and comfortable rooms, they were able to assemble different atmospheres, exhibiting psychedelic wallpaper, vintage furniture and works of young artists.

Each room at the B&B in fact, is a state of mind, a color, a feeling, with two or three beds, with private bathroom and, of course, all the amenities.

It is also possible to book a mini-apartment with kitchen and terrace with views of Mount Etna.

BAD. Because life is not just for sleeping.

The 'BAD - B&B and design' did not have toilet paper. The whole place was smelling of Arabic cigarettes, which was so strong and awful. So noisy - we could not sleep. So dusty. It was not good at all.

5 minutes from one of the historical squares of the city and a bus station, always impeccable welcome with great ease in arriving and leaving the room. Clean rooms with original decor. All this invites you to come back often to visit Catania and its surroundings or to make a stop between the airport and the Aeolian Islands.

We booked this B&B at the last moment because another reservation in a different accommodation was cancelled. The B&B is very close to the center, a stone's throw from Via Etnea and the Cathedral. Unfortunately, the property is not very nice, the walls are made of plasterboard (so you could hear a lot of noise from above and laterally), large bathroom but very small shower, very old building needing maintenance. Air conditioning is present and working, clean linen. Poor cleanliness of the premises. Self-service breakfast, with milk, fruit juices, yogurt, snacks, tea, coffee machine, etc. The owner is helpful and kind. The price for the area is really low so maybe we couldn't expect more. Another thing, the room we were given did not match the photos on the website. Were the other rooms better than ours?

Spacious and clean accommodation, exactly as described. Stratospheric location just a stone's throw from the fish market and therefore from Piazza Duomo. Owner very kind, helpful, and knowledgeable. I recommend.

Great location, friendly staff, beautiful rooms (room number 2 has a fantastic shower!). Breakfast is served in a bar at Piazza Duomo, a short distance from BAD - B&B and design.

The main feature of this B&B, beyond the particular decoration, is the strategic and very quiet location, just a few steps from the historic center and in front of the fish market. Moreover, the people who will welcome you are truly kind and helpful, ready to answer any of your questions and solve any problems. The structure is very clean! The only drawback is the bathrooms.
