We spent a single night on our way home after nearly three weeks in Sicily. The property is lovely, and the greeting even more so. Our host was eager to assist with a difficulty we were having with Alitallia, going as far as phoning the US number for us on her phone hoping to find help. Our room was clean,... More

Lovely property and gracious host. This property is close to the airport and city. We were met by the owner of the property who was very nice and spent time to show us around in a very caring way. We would definite say there again and highly recommend it to others.

Beautiful, quiet, clean, peaceful, exceptional. The grounds around the family-owned castle are secure, wonderfully landscaped and meticulously groomed. The pool is quite large, and sparkling clear. I took almost as many pictures around the property as I took in Catania because it is so beautiful. Santuzza is a warm and gracious host, most helpful with mail I wanted to post... More

Our one disappointment was that we stayed only one night as we arrived on an evening flight and left the following day. This is the perfect B&B to stay, especially if needing to be near the airport. Santuzza's directions were excellent. The surroundings are gorgeous, rooms are lovely and the family are particularly welcoming and helpful. I would stay here... More

Beautiful place stay. Although in a funny location near airport , it is close to everything. 5 minutes to the main square of Cantania, 45 minutes to Mt. Etna and Taormina. Highly recommend it. We stayed for 2 nights with our two children.

Santuzza and her family run an excellent B&B! They are willing to help you out in any way - don't hesitate to ask. We stayed here for a night for an early morning flight out of Catania.This is hands-down the best place to stay in Catania for access to the airport, but I would recommend it to anyone staying in...

We stayed in this charming and beautiful B&B with our 3 children for 2 nights in mid March 2013, and it was pure delight. It is located 5 minutes from Catania airport which makes it a very convenient location after landing and before taking off. Regardless of it proximity to the airport it is very quite and relaxing as it... More

This small Castle & family estate is close to Catania Airport and presents an excellent overnight alternative if you have an early morning flight like we did. The friendly proprietor lives in the castle itself but the guests are accommodated in the self-contained annexed blocks. The accommodation is fine but you could end up sharing a small building with other... More

We only stayed one night but are already planning to use this hotel when we return,- soon! It was perfect for our early flight out of Catania but would be an ideal base for exploring south to Syracusa or up to Taormina. We were treated with kindness even though our stay was brief. Our room was spacious and well equipped... More

B& B DÙrso Somma is an excellent place to stay. We stay for 10 nights. Close to the airport in Catania, the beaches, shoppingstreets and the beautyful old town with the famous fishmarked. Great hospitality and good service, interesting castello. We felt like to be their own guest. Without a car you have to take the bus or just hitchhiking.... More
