Manuela is amazing! She made our staff incredibly comfortable, provided a lovely breakfast each morning, and answered any questions. She even gave us some guidance on things to see and do. I would absolutely stay at this charming B&B again!
Caitlyn, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This property is lovely and the location can’t be beat for exploring Catania. It is just a few steps from Ursino castle and a couple of blocks from the amazing fish market. The room is spacious and beautiful. But what made it truly exceptional was the amazing care and hospitality of our host, Manuela. My daughter arrived before me and she looked out for her and really helped with check in and communication throughout. Highly highly recommended!

Once at the property, I could walk everywhere. I only needed taxis to/from the airport. great location! Staff was very friendly, they let me check in early. Breakfast was tasty and the place is quiet. Bathroom was nice. All in all, great experience.
MacKenzie, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Host was so friendly and gave us many recommendations on what to do for our stay in Catania. We arrived before check in and asked to store our luggage until check in. To our surprise she got the room ready and we were able to check in early. They had breakfast every morning and coffee and water available in the lobby 24/7 which was great. The rooms were spacious and airy and very clean. I would stay here again.

Khatchig, 3-night trip

This was a gem of a stay! Although it is a small and intimate space, our room was large and beautiful, with great attention to detail, and a family-style breakfast table. Manuela & Dario, and their on-site colleague, were an absolute delight.
Elizabeth, 1-night trip

We had a great stay at Il Leone Blu. The B&B is immaculate and the rooms are beautifully decorated. Manuela was extremely informative and helpful, and the lady that looked after the breakfast and the rooms was lovely. Would definitely stay there again if we went back to Catania.

Perfect accommodation, everything clean, fragrant and comfortable. The lady was very nice and helpful, she allowed us to stay earlier, which we very much appreciated with the children. During the day, you can make coffee or tea and have a small breakfast when you leave early. Amazing for us. thank you! Great restaurant st. Antonio nearby.
