Fully recommend to stay at 5 Balcony.

Cristina is a super friendly and open person. We spend 1 night only but we recommend to stay longer. Catania has a lot to offer during the day and at night. Delicious breakfast and familly atmospher being decided to rate Cristinas 5 Balcony by 5 stars. Best regards Jakub and Olga.

10/10 Exceptional

Absolutely incredible stay! Everything about Cinco Balconi was amazing. The apartment was spotless, beautifully maintained, and the bed was one of the most comfortable we’ve ever slept in. The breakfasts were absolutely incredible—fresh, delicious, and a perfect way to start the day. But what truly made the difference was the host, Rob. He went above and beyond to help us—even with things that had nothing to do with the accommodation. His kindness, attention to detail, and genuine care made our trip unforgettable. We would absolutely recommend this place to anyone visiting Catania.

Rob was a fantastic host, great communication before arrival, friendly, greeted with cafe latte, gave map of area and recs for places to visit nearby, accommodates for gf dietary needs and early breakfast before departure, arranged for airport car service, area is gritty but safe and a few mins walk from bus and to central sites. Highly recommend!

Great location excellent hospitality the hosts Cristina&Rob are very nice and helpful to everyone, they served generous and delicious breakfast in the morning. The location is easy walking distance to the historical site nice restaurants are about 5 minutes walks, highly recommended, George & Norma
George, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The location was ideal, close to all important sites in Catania. Also very convenient to book tours to Etna, Taormina, Syracuse, etc and close to the airport, bus and train stations. What stood out mostly about our stay was the hospitality and kindness of the host Rob as well as a great personalized breakfast. Rob was always available and seemed genuinely happy to answer our questions on places to visit. When we arrived , he sat down with us and gave us a map of Catania with recommendations on where to eat and what to visit. We enjoyed our stay so much that we extended our original 3 night stay to 4 and even returned an extra 3 nights at the end of our tour in Sicile. We highly recommend 5 Balcony.

This was one of my best stays I have ever had. She bent over backwards to ensure everything was stress free. Couldn’t recommend this place more!

Christina and her partner went out of their way to ensure my stay was first rate in every way. And the accommodation is both charming and spotlessly clean. If in Catania again I won’t hesitate to stay with them again.

Incredible place

Only good things to say about Cristina and Rob and their wonderful, welcoming B&B in Catania. Lovely people, right in the heart of town, and so helpful. Very cute accommodation and lovely breakfast - I'd never tried pistachio croissants and the ones Cristina buys were a dream!
Chris, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Rob was such a great host. He really cares for his guests. With such knowledge and information about the area. He helped us locate some really great places to go see and to go for food and drinks. It was nice sharing the place with Rob as well as the other guests where we were able share with each other over a beautiful and tasty spread at breakfast. If we ever return to Catania, 5 Balconi will be our first choice. The rooms are beautiful and the common room is dressed with style. Such a warm and welcoming place to stay. Highly recommended. Thanks Rob!

8/10 Very good

The entrance to the property is pretty off putting. Having 4 keys to get from the gate to my room a bit intimidating. No lights in the stairwell that I could find. But the host, a British expat, was helpful and delightful as was the quirky and fun interior of his apartment. He arranged for a car to the airport for a predawn pickup. I spent very little time there but it was convenient to the airport,

Rob and Christina are brilliant. Rob is a great chap. Affable, considered and considering with a generous heart and stupendous taste in music. He has an encyclopaedic knowledge of the good, the bad and the rip off in the vicinity; straying from his wisdom is inadvisable. He and Christina have anecdotes aplenty, and Christina in full flow is a sight to behold - a sister cat - her eyes glow. We had an extended stay, so, we had a good look at Rob and Christina's operation and found fault difficult to locate. Everything was cool (It is hot in Catania), clean and up to spec. The rooms are well decorated and appointed with curious photographs of bygone Sicilian times. The eponymous balconies afford a view to the bustling street of car horns, gesticulating arms and convenience store blues. You can sit on the balcony and watch a version of reality unfold and be perfectly content it authentic. The place has a beguiling antiquity, its peeling facades sun brushed in decaying charm, marbled palaces inside, though litter on the streets is problematic and needs addressing. Five Balconi is well located, a short walk from a castle and a fistful of Trattoria. Listen to Rob/Christina, we ventured beyond their advice once and came a cropper. Just think Rob/Christina know best and your holiday will be much improved. I dropped Rob's name at 'Da Antonio' and miraculously got a table without a reservation. We loved Catania and we loved our stay at 5 Balconi with Rob and Christina.

Hyggeligt B&B nær centrum

Fint B&B, ligger tæt på spisesteder og centrum. Den lokale busstation er 5 min. væk og der er gåafstand til det meste. Værten er super sød og giver dig et kort over byen og viser hvor de forskellige seværdigheder er. Han er utrolig hjælpsom og deler gerne ud af hans viden om de forskellige steder/byer der skal opleves og hvordan man nemmest kommer frem og hvor der er godt at spise m.m. Internettet virkede upåklageligt og man får frisk morgenmad hver dag, lige efter hvad man kunne ønske sig. Fri adgang til koldt vand, kaffe, te og frugt. Husk ørepropper, da der er en del støj fra vejen. Catania er simpelthen en fantastisk by.

Best B&B Experience in Sicily!

Truly great! Best B&B during our two week long journey through Sicily. The host is welcoming, hospitable and warm, the place is beautifully decorated and uniquely furnished, location is convenient and the breakfast dots the i. Also, we got all this for an affordable price. Rather than just saying «10/10, would recommend», we have also booked it again!

Cristina è una padrona di casa eccellente, come la sua colazione ed i suoi preziosi consigli. La camera era molto pulita, magari troppo rumorosa (è proprio su via Plebiscito, trafficata 24h).
