All the reviews are right on! Rob and Cristina are fantastic hosts of a very quirky B&B. Rooms are great. Breakfast is personalized - we had yogurt, fruit and cornettos. Another couple was served cheese and charcuterie. Rooms are very comfortable. Bathrooms are shared. 5balconi is in a very authentic area. Arriving at night we thought we had wandered onto a Fellini set. Catania is a walkable city and 5balconi is great for those who enjoy getting involved in a place, not just touring. The best pizza in Sicily is two blocks away. Cristina or Rob will point the way.

We found 5 Balconi by happy accident after booking into a nearby holiday let which turned out to be less than perfect. We turned up at the door of 5 Balconi and were met by Rob, who was so friendly and helpful - he offered us a room and showed us round, made sure we were happy with the facilities, and generally rescued what would otherwise have been a fairly dire stay in Catania. The B&B is charming, quirky and characterful, as are the owners! Our high-ceilinged room was spotlessly clean and very comfortable - the air conditioning was highly efficient. Rob gave us loads of recommendations for places to visit and to eat - it was like staying with friends who know the city inside out. Highly recommended - thanks so much Rob and Cristina

A fantastic small bed & breakfast located within easy walking distance to all central spots of interest in Catania. The very welcoming and vivacious hosts Cristina and Rob made us feel as if we were staying with friends, and provided a wealth of local intel to enhance our visit on many levels. Breakfast was spot on with fresh fruits, yogurt, delicious bread, cereals, and coffee or tea as requested. The room was spotlessly clean and comfortable with a small balcony overlooking the bustling street below, but perfectly quiet when closed up for a lengthy rest. A casual, fun vibe and a most enjoyable experience enhanced by the very accommodating hostess and host. Highly recommended!

Only stayed at B&B 5 Balconi for 1 night but left a very great impression and great start to our trip around Sicily. Firstly, id like to thank Rob for his help and hospitality. We unfortunately had an issue with our rental vehicle which provided a deal of stress on the Saturday evening. However Rob was very welcoming, cool and collective and settled us in on the late evening. We also managed to leave with the B&B Keys - Rob was very understanding and we managed to post them back with no issue. Communication was great. The accommodation was very homely with great décor around. Comfy bed, nice view of the hectic Catania roads, stones throw from popular sites and an excellent breakfast. I had the Pistachio Croissant with filtered coffee which was delicious. Thank you again.

Very warm welcoming when we arrived. We got information about restaurants, bars, buses, trains - very useful. Our room was both cosy and comfortable. We shared two bathrooms with the three other rooms. There was always an empty bathroom when we wanted to take a shower. Lovely breakfast, of your own choice. Nice to eat and speak with the others guests. And best of all was our lovely Rob who was in charge the week we spent in Catania. Catania is an intereresting town and perfect as a base for daytrips in different directions. The B& B was very well situated in the city. Walking distance to everything.

We loved our stay in this beautiful B&B. Catania has a very diverse and interesting history, all of which has shaped a unique place. Fabolous food at not amazing prices. We used Balconi as a base for visiting Syracuse, Taormina and of course Etna. Super thanks to Rob and Christina for a delish breakfasts and their sightseeing advice.
