If you look at the aesthetics of the place, it has an excellent price-quality ratio. But the shower tied with string is invisible... security issues: old-fashioned lock and terrace connecting to the three rooms: you have to have a lot of trust in the other patrons to feel safe. Finally: at the partner bar for breakfast, we ordered granita and pasta (a typical Sicilian breakfast) and everything fell apart. Mari argued with the manager over a 1 euro difference (1 euro!). Good, but not great.

A little corner of home in the heart of Catania! We stayed at the Essenza del Tempo Inn for two nights: one upon arrival in Catania and one before our departure, and we can't recommend it enough! The owner, Amalia, is simply adorable—so kind and welcoming, she makes you feel right at home, like a mother! Besides making us feel welcome, she was also incredibly friendly and helpful, offering us valuable tips on where to eat and what to see in the city. Her suggestions were spot on! The rooms are perfect: spotlessly clean, meticulously maintained, and with a fresh scent that fills the room as soon as you enter. The location is excellent, right in the heart of Catania, ideal for exploring the city on foot. Amalia also recommended a multi-story parking garage just a 5-minute walk away, very convenient for those arriving by car. A truly pleasant stay. We will definitely return. Thank you so much, Amalia!
