Hello. We enjoyed the location of the hotel, it's quite central in Catania to get around. We wish the first person we spoke with at the hotel had given us better directions around. However, the rooms are rather dingy and run down. The shower had mildew everywhere so it wasn't exactly clean. I got the impression the hotel used to... more

There's no nice way to put this: the elevator stinks. (It's the filthy rug, which needs replacing immediately -- and we told them upon checkout.) So while the hotel itself is perfectly adequate -- nice olde world feel; a good-sized guest room that could have used a fresh coat of paint; fine (and standard for other Italian hotels we've stayed... more

My wife and I stayed at the Residence La Vetreria the night before out flight to Milan. We had been visiting relatives in Sicily and near Milan. When we told them where we were staying they were concerned about the zone feeling that it was not the safest place. I must admit it is not in what would normally called... more

Residence La Vetreria is definitely one of the best accommodation choices in Catania. I stayed 4 nights in March 2009 and was very satisfied by everything. The hotel itself is located very close to the heart of the historic centre of the city (central duomo can be reached within 5 mins on foot) and abt 20 mins by car from... more

I stayed at La Vetreria for a business trip for two nights during the week and thought it was quite adequate. The staff was helpful and always available. The room (apt. 2) was clean and spacious. It had a kitchenette (which I didn't use) and full bathroom. It was very clean and open. Breakfast was typical Italian and had lots... more

We have just returned from a lovely holiday in Siciliy where we stayed for the whole time at the Vetreria residence. It was just perfect for our holiday where we wanted the possibility to stay close to the city center, and this hotel is five minutes walk from the main street; via Etnea. The hotel also collabotated with one of... more

This hotel is a real find. It felt tranquil and peaceful and the staff were terrific. Decor was delightfully quirky with old photographs on the walls and lace and embroidered cushions/ table covers all around. Such a joy to get away from the usual cold and sterile 4 star plastic hotels. The bed was extremely comfortable and the windows opened... more

We were really impressed with La Vetreria - always a refreshing, cool & clean oasis yet really close to the old town and the action of the market. Also nearby the bus station for easy links to the airport and to other towns in Sicily. The staff were very helpful - only thing to mention is that all rooms are... more

Don't be put off by the location of this hotel to the south of the main city area. There are plenty of people around at night, including old men chatting on corners, so it felt quite safe. Rooms are large with a good bathroom and a kitchenette. Our third floor room had a fabulous view of Etna from the balcony.... more
