We spent 11 nights in Sicily and split them between three B&Bs. The Castello was definitely the stand out of the three!! From the moment we arrived we were treated with a genuine hospitality and this did not fade at all during our stay. Our room was cozy, clean and comfortable. The common area well equipped with everything we needed.We... More

My wife and I just left the amazing Castello D'Urso Somma B&B and it was one of the most memorable stays we have ever experienced! Upon arrival we where greeted in the "open air reception" with a refreshing drink (fresh made orange juice!!!). After a little tour of the property we where shown to our room: beautiful and sober decor,... More

We stayed for 1 nite before flying the next day. The lady manager was very friendly and welcoming, with very nice grounds, but given previous reviews were were abit disappointed in the place. Our room was in the annex, not the main house. The room smelt quite musky, the bed was only average comfort (a bit thin), it had an... More

We stayed here two nights this February. The rooms are lovely and clean. We appreciate B and B that have different quarters than the homeowners. The common kitchenette was appreciated with access to drinks and snacks 24/7. The owners are wonderful and fun to talk to. The gentleman owner is hilarious and despite his lack of English speaking made our... More

I found this B&B through TripAdvisor, and was thrilled to discover a lovely alternative to the dodgy or expensive options near the airport. There really is a castle-like residence here, which the family has owned for several generations. The grounds are beautiful, well-kept and surrounded by a citrus farm. There is also a huge outdoor swimming pool. Rooms are in... More

Unfortunately we only stayed one night in the Castello d'Urso Somma but we were impressed with the service from the beginning. Our flight was delayed by 5 hours from Pisa to Catania so instead of arriving at 10.20pm we arrived at about 3.20am in the morning. We notified the owner of the Castello that we would be arriving late and... More

We had been in Sicilia for almost five weeks already basing out of the Scopello area. I am so glad we booked two nights here before our plane returned us to America. The grounds and buildings are just beautiful. Close to the airport but we never heard any planes overhead to disrupt the tranquilty of the whole experience. The owners... More

We had a wonderful time at Castello D'Urso Somma. The whole estate is a magical place and evidently cared for in every detail. Rooms are cozy and clean with individual decoration and furniture in each room. Above all, we were impressed by the friendliness, genuity and warm reception by the owners. We can only recommend this amazing place!

A great place to start or finish your holidays if you're flying through Catania Airport. The airport is just 10 (car) minutes away, but we didn't hear anything but birds. A beautiful garden with a swimming pool, good rooms and the warmest welcome by the owners. They have 2 annexes with 5 rooms each around a kitchen area, where you... More

The B&B is one of the nicest for the money I've stayed. It's located a short drive from the airport and the main city. It's very peaceful and quiet there, and really once we entered the gates we didn't feel like leaving. The pool and property are beautiful. There are also tennis courts though we didn't use them. The kitchen... More
