Benedettini - Exclusive Suites & Monastery View

Nice accommodation in a good central location. The house is a bit older, which you can unfortunately see a bit, but I can still absolutely recommend it. Toti is super nice and very accommodating.

We arrived very late but that didn’t matter as we had the code to get in. Eventually found out that the code and twist the knob to get the keys. The apartment was large and spacious. Bedroom was nice though the road outside is a rat run for traffic and so a little noise was experienced. Good location for tourists as nearby to many.

We were there for 6 days 5 nights. No towelseevice

As we were there for the first time we took the location under consideration and the location at this stay was very convenient because it was not too far from central Catania. The view was absolutely beautiful as well.

The management or owners were very unapologetic about the lack of hygiene in the accommodation. Toilet tissue was out in the bathroom with no paper or plastic covering ….appearing to have been used by the previous tenant. The cup in the bathroom was full of grunge. I washed from the previous …many months of dirt build up. They didn’t take the time to prepare to have guests after having a tenant for 6 months. When I pointed out the disappointment of the walls being filthy, etc., the response was that it wasn’t his fault since they had a tenant for 6 months this winter… So, was it the tenants fault for not doing paint touch ups….there should have been a waiver stating that the apartment was filthy from the 6 month tenant and they have no intention of cleaning or doing paint touch ups until November until all the paid guests have come and gone. The only highlight was the view….but it came at a huge cost….tour buses, trucks and bumper to bumper traffic for all hours beginning from early morning. I have travelled the world extensively for many years and this place in good conscience I could not recommend.

For the price excellent value
