Set in it’s own gated gardens,with palms and trees, Castello D'Urso Somma B&B is composed of 10 air-conditioned guestrooms, all ensuite,which feature bright, modern decor with antique Sicilian -style furnishings.

Rooms, all different in size , shape and furniture are situated on the ground floor, and feature a lovely-nice mix of modern and antiques. They are so individual equipped that you can easily feel at home, at ease and relaxed.
All ensuite, with stylish modern bathrooms ( with shower only) and lots of thoughtful touches, guestrooms offer a/c climate control, cable tv (Italian channels only), closet, desk,manual roller blinder and hair dryer(on request). They are in groups of five, housed in 2 self contained annexes around a historic Castle, providing access to a kitchen/central breakfast room in each of the annexes that opens up onto a large patio area.

Complimentary Buffet Breakfast is available in "your" kitchen so guests get up and help themselves when it suits them. A coffee machine,a microwave, a toaster, a kettle, complete with a fridge, will be available at all times.

Housekeeping is provided everyday if guests are so kind to leave the room by 10:30 a.m.

There is a seasonal outdoor semi- Olympic swimming pool (usually opened from the 2nd half of May/beginning of June  until the end of September,although dates vary according to the local weather) surrounded by palms and complimentary on site parking.

The property does not have a restaurant or bar, but there are plenty in the centre of Catania.

Our area was used to be called "Paradiso degli Aranci" (Paradise of Oranges) because, thanks to its healthy sea air and strategic location, it was dedicated to mandarins and oranges production.

We are usually chosen because, although close to the airport, to the main highways, to the old city centre, we can offer a silent, relaxing and peaceful location without being cut away from the world . Besides, we stand alone. This means we do not have neighbours or other people to be worried about.

Our B&B is conveniently located for guests who want to spend a day at the beach or go into town for shopping . It is 300 metres from the beach, 6 min by car from Catania Fontanarossa Airport and 8 kilometres from Catania Old City Centre. Although it is within walking distance of the town and beaches, there is no footpath or pavements along the busiest section of the road, so walking is definitely not advisable. 

Our location is also very convenient for exploring most of the island, since the main motorways are a couple of minutes away from our property (Taormina 45 min; Siracusa 1h; Mount Etna 1h 1/2); consequentially, being independent with "your" car means you can travel around Catania province and beyond all day long, and then feel you are at home, once back at the property.

A warm welcoming and a friendly hospitality, which are typical values of our tradition and culture, combined with an exquisite tranquility, are the essential features of our Bed and Breakfast.
