The b&b was quite unique, being built above volcanic rock laid down centuries ago and sharing it with an ancient amphitheatre. Our suite was spacious, attractive had vistas featuring the rock and the amphitheatre. There is a room fridge, two wardrobes and two large screen TVs...OK if you speak italian. The shared kitchen area and patio were a bonus. Our host, Anna, was lovely, so helpful and interested in how our visit was progressing. A pleasant change from hotel staying.

AMAZING. surpassed our expectations. First impression from out side it is old like every thing surrounding it! Stepping inside tells different story: tastefully modern renovation, emasculated clean, it seems to be enclaved as part of Anfitheatro. Walking distant to dining, shopping and Dumo. the GEM at this place is Anna herself, attentive Hospitable and remarkable. Thanks for everything Anna.

The place was amazing as it was very clean, modern and close to all that Catania has to offer. Anna was a great host during our time. As a reminder this is a B&B so there is not staff on hand but Anna made herself available at any time. Highly recommend!

We had a fantastic stay here. The hotel was beautifully presented and how incredible to be built around an Amphitheater. The room was spaces, clean and bed was comfy to sleep in. Great location close to city centre so easy to get around without a car. The hotel mini bar and offerings were a great extra. As for Anna what can I say. Thank you so much for making us feel welcome, informative and always going the extra mile to make sure we were looked after and getting the most from our experience. Nothing was too much trouble and I can’t thank you enough. If you are looking for a place to stay I would highly recommended here. My only recommendation is to switch the lounge area and bedroom around as it would be a better use of the space and give extra privacy.

Da non perdere!
Relais Anfitheatro is a fantastic place to stay. All the modern comforts in a huge room, built right into the ancient Roman amphitheater. The decor is classy, tasteful, and modern. We also loved meeting Anna, our lovely host, who was kind and full of suggestions for things to do and places to eat. Grazie mille!

The Relais Anfitheatro was just excellent. It’s in a great location, on a parallel street to the Main Street in Catania (via Etna). So it’s in easy walking distance to shops and the main squares. Although the street view exterior of Relais Anfitheatro might not look glamorous, once you get inside the property you will not be disappointed. It is very nicely decorated in a contemporary style. With high quality fixtures and decoration. The bathroom was modern and clean. And the room was cleaned everyday. I also found the bed extremely comfortable and had a better nights sleep that what I do at home! There is also a coffee machine in the room which was great. Along with a kettle and a selection of teas. A mini fridge and a selection of biscuits and small cakes are provided complementary each day. There is also a communal area, also with coffee and tea facilities, cakes, biscuits etc. Again, this is was all nicely decorated in a modern style. Breakfast is provided by vouchers to be used at a nearby cafe. The cafe is literally just round the corner, and have a selection of continental/Italian cakes/snacks. The cafe was ok, but it does get busy. No review of Relais Anfitheatro can be complete without mentioning Anna. The level of service and hospitality Anna gave us was just wonderful. Anna was so warm and welcoming to us. With great communication and helpfulness. If I were ever to visit Catania again, I would stay here again without hesitation.

Fabulous stay in a central location
fabulous stay here!! Anna could not have been more helpful - she gave me details of the parking app to use in the locality and even went out of her way to find a garage that was open on a Sunday when we had a problem with out hire car. The property is very centrally located but extremely quiet so had a really good sleep. The room was good size with a lovely private terrace. Bathroom was fully equipped and shower was great. Parking was limited but still managed to find space quite easily and really cheap with the parking app Will definatley return

Anna was fantastic and gave us a welcoming service, including going above and beyond what was expected. The hotel was in a great location in an old Roman Amphitheatre, was clean throughout, and modern. Strongly recommend if you’re looking for a small hotel, with good amenities, and lovely staff. Great price too. Will be back!

Catanian Perfection
We found Relais Afitheatro at short notice and were so very glad to. It is small, new, beautifully furnished place, with 4 rooms, and a central reception area, with a breakfast bar and outside patio available for guests to use. The building is actually built on the site of the Roman Amphitheatre, part of which is visible at the nearby Stesicoro Piazza, while the rest is buried under the modern city buildings, or indeed has walls incorporated into the fabric of modern buildings. There is a section of the Amphitheatre next to the stairs as you climb from the front door to the reception area (everything is on the first floor). We were lucky enough to have booked the "Anfitheatro Suite" which is the centrepiece flagship room. There are sections of the old walls incorporated into the room, beautifully showcased by lighting around the bed area and also the bathroom. It's very comfortable, and the bathroom features a rainshower, & mood lighting, and the air conditioning works very well too. Being so central, there is a lot of noisy hustle & bustle around the area, but with the rooms facing either into the private courtyard or onto an otherwise hidden section of the amphitheatre walls, it isn't too intrusive, and with the windows closed the modern double-glazing seals you off very well from the noise, so much so that it's easy to forget you're just a few yards from the busy Via Etnea & Stesicoro Piazza. Wonderful place. A+.
