The moment you enter the castle gate of the family B&B D'Urso Somma you feel priveledged: what a wonderful place! Swimming in a huge pool with view of the Etna, beautiful castle and palm trees (in one shot)...who can ask for more? The rooms are decorated with so much love and care for detail that you feel like living in... more

Recently stayed for 9 nights. A fantastic little Oasis. Fantastic hosts, particularly Santuzza who's English is amazing and goes out of her way to make sure you are happy, nothing seems to be to much effort. The grounds are spacious and immaculate, being tended to all day everyday. The pool is really large and so clean. We had it to... more

I recently stayed for a long weekend at this wonderful Castello. I was travelling with two girlfriends and we wanted just to relax, eat and drink and get a bit of peace. We certainly picked the right place. The Castello itself is stunning and the pool was huge, immaculate and deserted! Even though there were other guests staying we didn't... more

Highly recommended but a little hard to find. Following a rather long drive from Palermo, we eventually managed to find the Castello D'Urso Somma B&B. It is not that well signposted, so you could save yourself a lot of time by contacting Santuzza (the owner) who will give you very clear directions. It is actually in an ideal location -... more

Castello D'Urso is an excellent choice if you need to stay close to the Catania airport. For the other nights in the area, we sought out "hidden gem" B&B's farther away from Catania.

The family who ownes the castello proved to be excellent in service and offered us a feeling of being really welcome. Our 2 yr. old son felt very at home and was pleased to... more

We chose this B & B primarily because of its proximity to the airport and stayed for our last night in Sicily. It turned out to be quite restful and comfortable--provided a nice respite to gather our energy for the long journey home. Our hostess, Santuzza, is very charming and helpful. Her warm hospitality, including bringing cookies and candies for... more

Castello D'Urso Somma is a great option if you're staying in or around Catania or need a good value place to stay near the airport. It's a place with real character, in the grounds of the family mansion. There's a big pool out back which I'm sure would be great in the summer, The owners are fantastic; Santuzza was a... more
