We were two people visiting Catania on our way home staying one night. Many houses look a bit tired on the outside. This one showed a well maintained and lovely inside. Clean and nice, with an owner who was very helpful giving advice about restaurants and sights, ordering taxi and letting us in and out when we had our luggage in storage the day we left. Very welcoming and situated in a short walking distance from the city center, fishmarket and other sights. Will keep this one in mind and I will be happy to stay here again.

The rooms are beautiful, small fridge and hot water kettle in the room I had. Breakfast is offered in the common area. Manuela is a wonderful person, speaks English, and takes wonderful care of the property and her guests. I loved it all, but the 2 flights of marble stairs were difficult for me. Manuela saved me by helping with my suitcase. Grazie mille, Manuela!

We really enjoyed our stay at Il Leone Blu. The location was excellent, the room was comfortable, and the service was warm and welcoming. A couple of small things could be improved: the shower cabin could be a bit bigger, and the breakfast could offer more variety. Overall, it was a very good experience and we would recommend it.
