Brilliant Catania Apartment. Good Location. Excellent Hosts.
Adrianna and Guiseppe met us at the apartment when we arrived late after 8pm. They were very welcoming and gave us lots of useful information on great restaurants, all of which were brilliant. Recommendations on travelling around the area were really helpful. We enjoyed trips to Acitrezza, Syracusa and Taormina by bus. The apartment was very comfortable and well equipped. We slept really well but earplugs were useful on NewYears' Eve and New Years' Day. Many thoughtful touches such a breakfast materials, milk, water and wine (and fizz for New Year!) helped to make our stay really relaxing and special. Easy to get to from the airport and a fifteen minute walk to the historic centre. Adrianna checked to make sure we were ok and was always contactable including accommodating a late check out for a late flight. Catania is a great base to explore Etna and experience Sicilian warmth at any time of year. We recommend this apartment.

Comfortable, convenient, lovely hosts
Apartment was spotlessly clean, well-furnished and well-equipped. It was conveniently located both for enjoying the city and walking to public transport such as the airport bus, and free on-street parking was usually available just outside. Adriana and Guiseppe went to great lengths to make us welcome and ensure we had everything we needed.

Warm and welcoming.
Very comfortable and Adriana and Guiseppe were welcoming and very helpful. We used our time in Catania not only to explore the city but also as a base from which we also visited Syracruse, Taomina and we stayed three nights near Etna. Travelling to and from these places was very easy as the accommodation is very central.

This is a terrific apartment in a great area. Easy to walk to and from the bus and train stations, easy to walk to multiple restaurants and bars. The host Giuseppe was very helpful and friendly, and I would definitely stay here again.

Un bien joli pas-de-porte.
Merci à Giuseppe pour son accueil à 23h le soir de notre arrivée. Giuseppe a toujours été très réactif à nos demandes en particulier quand le climatiseur a montré une faiblesse. Le climatiseur est d'autant plus important qu'il est le seul à renouveler l'air dans ce pas-de-porte n'a pas d'autres fenêtre que la porte d'entrée. L'appartement est très bien agencé et avec beaucoup de goût. La literie est très confortable mais les passages dans la rue très bruyants.
