Antica Centrale

Really new and pleasant B&B, with spacious rooms that are all newly furnished. They have air conditioning and TVs, and Wi-Fi is included. The staff were very kind, and breakfast was good and plentiful, with fresh brioche. It’s about 5 minutes from the center, and there’s an attached restaurant downstairs. The one thing I missed was having enough power outlets in the room. I’d come back!

Fabrizio, the property manager, was especially kind and helpful. Breakfast was plentiful, with some nice options like homemade cakes. The rooms are spacious, clean, and functional, even the ones with shared bathrooms, though those bathrooms are private. The furnishings are simple, almost spartan, with white walls and just a folk saying above the beds. The B&B is in a recently renovated building in Vittoria’s oldest and most charming neighborhood, a few steps from the Cathedral of San Giovanni Battista and the former prison, now a cultural center, wine bar, and art gallery.

The Duomo is only a two-minute walk away, and the price was affordable. There’s no parking at the property, but I didn’t have trouble finding somewhere to leave the car. My room was quiet, spacious, clean, and had a balcony and air conditioning. The staff were friendly and helpful, and there’s free Wi-Fi throughout. The entrance, elevator, and rooms are wheelchair accessible. Breakfast is sweet: croissants with jam, Nutella, or honey, homemade cakes (including gluten-free and lactose-free options), rusks, fresh fruit, tea, coffee, cappuccino, and juice. There’s also a snack room open through the day for anyone who arrives late. For dinner, the property has a pizzeria, with room service available if needed.

The owner was so friendly and kind, and breakfast was good. Our room was spacious and clean, and there’s an elevator. We’ll be back.
