Mapiola is a travel blog: this is not the official website of B&B A casa di amici.
Where B&B A casa di amici is in Caltanissetta
B&B A casa di amici is in Caltanissetta, on Via Moncada Luisa, in Sicily. According to the listing it is near the main streets, while some guests describe it as a quiet area and others as the outskirts, so the feel depends on what you are looking for.
Guests agree on one point at least, the ease of parking, although a more recent review contradicts it. To get around central Sicily you will need a car in any case. The listing gives Catania Fontanarossa airport as the reference.
What the rooms and breakfast are like
The rooms have a private bathroom with bidet and toiletries, and several guests describe them as spacious, modern and well furnished. Wifi and air conditioning are mentioned too, along with a room with a double bed and a cot that suits a family.
The B&B is set in an apartment, and some find it a little cold and impersonal. Breakfast is the most debated point, and I explain it in more detail below.
| Aspect | What guests say |
|---|---|
| Rooms | Spacious and well kept for many, small and basic for others |
| Bathroom | Roomy with a large shower for some, with details overlooked for others |
| Breakfast | Excellent for some, taken at a partner bar for others |
What guests say
The Google rating is 3.7 from 27 reviews, an average that hides two very different groups of guests. Most of the positive comments are fairly old, but the themes are clear.
- The owner. Many guests talk about great availability, kindness and flexible hours, useful for anyone travelling for work.
- Cleanliness. It comes up in almost every positive review, together with the modern, tasteful furnishing.
- Value for money. Some judge it good, mainly for how convenient the location is.
What to know before booking
There are not many complaints, but they are specific, and I would rather tell you straight away.
- Breakfast. For some guests it is excellent, with croissants. Others explain it is taken at a partner bar, and one person says they did not get it at no extra cost. Ask how it works before you pay.
- Noise. One review describes a busy road and restless nights, while others describe a quiet place.
- Parking. For most it is easy, one recent guest found none, and the spaces are on the street and not supervised.
- Room details. One review mentions missing towels and a weak hairdryer.
Look at the dates too. Most of the enthusiastic reviews are several years old, and the more recent ones are cooler. I do not know whether anything has changed, so bear that in mind.
Who B&B A casa di amici suits
I would choose it as a practical stop in Caltanissetta, for anyone travelling for work or just passing through, who wants a clean room and a host who is present and does not expect extra services. For a couple looking for atmosphere, a place with personality or a guaranteed excellent breakfast, I would look elsewhere or sort everything out beforehand.
Things to do around Caltanissetta
The listing presents it as a base for exploring the province, including the Villa Romana del Casale and the Sicilia Outlet Village. For dinner, one guest warns there are not many options nearby and you need to take the car.
If your route carries on towards the coast, take a look at B&B Mannala' in Agrigento, another option in Sicily.
