B&B la foresteria

A guesthouse with a courtyard garden, three terraces and colorful rooms, run by Francesco and Mirella a short distance from the center of Catania.

Why people love it

• Francesco and Mirella. Guests describe their advice on sights, restaurants and help with lifts or pick-ups. One couple was checked in at midnight.
• Garden and calm. Guests mention greenery in the courtyard and a quiet setting that contrasts with the city outside.
• Breakfast. Guests call it plentiful, with a wide selection of Sicilian specialties.
• The rooms. Guests mention the yellow room and the green room with a rooftop terrace, plus clean, tasteful decor.

The worst thing guests say

In June 2025 one guest said there was no transportation nearby except the hotel shuttle for 35 euros, and that the room booked for one person had two beds. Several guests say it is a little outside the center, though still walkable or reachable by bus. Another 1-star in 2019 said only that the place was very ugly.

Insider tips

• The center is walkable, and the bus is another option.
• The hotel can arrange a shuttle for about 35 euros.
• Cars can be rented on site.
