Historical stay in this beautiful B&B
An excellent B&B with amazing staff. Everything you need for a city break and a delicious breakfast. The rooms are beautifully decorated. Great area surrounded by great bars and restaurants.
Nina, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This was a gem of a stay! Although it is a small and intimate space, our room was large and beautiful, with great attention to detail, and a family-style breakfast table. Manuela & Dario, and their on-site colleague, were an absolute delight.
Elizabeth, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Perfect accommodation, everything clean, fragrant and comfortable. The lady was very nice and helpful, she allowed us to stay earlier, which we very much appreciated with the children. During the day, you can make coffee or tea and have a small breakfast when you leave early. Amazing for us. thank you! Great restaurant st. Antonio nearby.

We had a great stay at Il Leone Blu. The B&B is immaculate and the rooms are beautifully decorated. Manuela was extremely informative and helpful, and the lady that looked after the breakfast and the rooms was lovely. Would definitely stay there again if we went back to Catania.

We had an absolutely amazing stay, Manuela could not have been more hospitable. The room is exceptionally clean and smelt of fresh linen, we had the option of Netflix on the TV and the communal breakfast and dining area was great. Wish I could give this place 10 stars
Anne, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very nice room! Great location, the block looks a little sketchy but it’s totally safe and really convenient to serious touristy areas. We didn’t get to have breakfast because of an early flight, but highly recommend!

Manuela kept in touch to make sure our arrival and stay were easy. Clean and modern interior with comfortable beds. Also helped with dinner reservations.
Miles, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Location is good, with some great restaurants and bars close by. Manuela was very friendly and helpful, and the check in was straight forward. Room 4 however, is tiny, cramped, airless and gloomy. It had no space and a small window. Definitely not like the room photos which prompted us to book.
Tracy, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful stay in Catania!
Il Leone Blue is an amazing place to stay for a visit in Catania. The rooms are really clean and newly renovated. AC works great (and in summer is a must!). Manuela has been nice and very communicative, she got us great indications where to have dinner and explore. Catania downtown is an amazing city, beautiful and lively. Of course you have to consider that you are in an historical downtown, walking distance from everything so the parking is always sketchy and the buildings have narrow stairs you have to use to got in and out but that is also part of the experience! Definitely recommend to spend time here at "Il Leone Blue"!

Book this place!
We had a wonderful stay in an amazing room. Book room number 1! Large and very nicely appointed with three Juliette balconies a sitting area and amazingly comfy bed. Breakfast was very good and the hotel is located within walking distance to all the historical sites and very good restaurants. (Photo is of the ceiling in our room)

6/10 Good

Decent property. No parking available unless you pay 20 euro a day.
Matthew, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Gorgeous rooms in older building. Spacious, well appointed, beds and bath very comfortable. Fabulous high painted and decorated ceilings. Good breakfast and helpful staff. The entry way is older and plain but delight ensues as soon as you open the door to the second floor. Very helpful getting a cab for early morning flight.
Gailmarie, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Clean and confortable. Efficient staff
Good accomodation, clean and confortable. Isolation not the best and the environment doesn't invite for a walk during the night. I would repeat.
Miguel, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Il Leone Blue is a beautiful, charming place, specious and very comfortable bed. We absolutely loved the decor, the stylish furniture, the art, the books on history of the place, even the appliances were very cool but the most amazing are tge ceilings. When you wake up and open your eyes, you truly feel like royalty, absolutely loved it!!! Also the place is located in a heart of Catania, we walked everywhere, lots of options for dining as well. The host, Manuela, is an excellent communicator, she even sent us a video how to open the door, which was very helpful, we were able to leave our luggage after check out and she even called us a taxi to take us to the airport. It was very good experience and I would highly recommend Il Leone Blue for a stay in Catania.
Anna, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is a beautiful B&B. It is a great location with lots of restaurants and sights within walking distance. Manuel arranged our requested transfers. The only draw back is there is no elevator. There are stairs going up about four flights. Our driver carried our luggage up. It was a lovely place to stay! We would stay there again if we went back to Catania!
Barbara, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Charming hidden gem in Catania
We loved our very comfortable and clean accommodations. The painted ceiling and the three balconies added such charm. Room is spacious and the bedding very comfortable. The arrival from the street was a bit rough with some construction in the entry area and lots of stairs...first impression was a little rough, but once you get up the stairs you enter the most lovely common area and unit. Location was excellent...one of our best meal in Sicily was the meal right down the road at Ristorante da Antonio! Service was attentive and helpful with our arrival and departure information. Highly recommend!

Quiet rooms, clean and functional. Downside for me was that we did not get the suite we booked, but a cheaper room. That is not okay.
