Diego the owner is a fantastic guy and will do his utmost to help you. The flat is exceptionally clean and is located 10 min from the main square. All is within walk-in distance. If you are looking to discover Catania this is an ideal location to be based.

Quiet flat in centre of Catania
This is a well equipped and attractive flat in the centre of Catania. It's position and design makes it reliably quiet, and yet at the centre of Sicilian exuberance. Market very close. Piazza Borsellino ten minutes away. Diego, the host, couldn't be better. Highly recommended.

Loved house, location & support of property owner
This location is surrounded by great restaurants and nightlife. Our morning cappuccino (1.5 euros) was just steps away from our door. There is no easier way to get picked up for a tour or tell a driver where to take you home than being next to the Castello Ursino, a short block from our flat. Diego was kind enough to schedule a service to and from the airport and they were prompt. We want to stay here again!

Live next to a Castle from the 1200s
Before choosing an apt in Catania, I looked at different traveling sites and read the reviews. Diego’s apt seemed too good to be true, but it WAS NOT too good to be true. It was wonderful! I wondered about an apt in an alley, too, but it was safe, private, and lovely even though a number of restaurants filled with happy customers were clustered around a small palazzo where the alley opened out, across the street from Castle Ursino. (Be sure to visit!)The apt was quiet, but more than quiet, it was beautiful, clean, spacious, and incredibly well equipped. The tasteful decor including the ambiance of the historical stone reminders of long ago, the comfort of the furnishings, and the air conditioning made us happy to return “home” everyday. Last, but certainly not least, was our host, Diego, who did everything possible to make our stay fun and memorable. If I lived in Catania, I would definitely want him in my circle of friends—funny, generous, accommodating, and honest. Thank you, Diego! Ciao!
