Lovelly host and vibrant town.

They met us at the railway station and showed us around the apartment. There was bottled water, fruit and snacks. It was a short walk to the town centre, with a bakery downstairs. Very clean and a well equiped kitchen.

Great 👍

Nicoletta and Franco are such lovely and excellent hosts! They even organised transport to and from the airport. The apartment is in a brilliant location with most tourist sites including the famous fish market within a 5 minute walk and some of the furthest monuments being just 20 mins. The beach is also a 5 minute ride away by taxi or bus. It is also just a few minutes from the bus and train station making further transport super easy. In the street beneath the apartment are bakeries, mini market, cafes and more. The apartment is lovely and much nicer than the images with very spacious living room and bedrooms as well as the kitchen being stocked with all the essential cutlery and seasonings. Overall a 10/10 place would definitely recommend!

Good stay in Catania

The apartment was very nice, clean, would easily accommodate a bigger group. The kitchen has quite well equipped to be able to cook. There were lots of shops/food places close by. A short walk to the market and into the centre. There was a separate desk to work on and the WIFI was good. There is constant noise from the outside but it's not too bad and at night it was actually quite quiet. The hosts were really nice, easy to communicate with and very helpful.

Feels like home - very well-kept and cozy apartment with amazing hosts

Very well-kept and cozy apartment with amazing hosts, right in the center of Catania. Feels like home! Franco was kind enough to help us with instructions on how to get to Catania from Pozzallo, advised parking spot, and met us in person there to take us to the apartment. Nicoletta met us there to greet us and show around. They also provided us some water, juice and snacks. Best hosts I ever met. The apartment was very clean and comfortable - we found everything we needed. Windows have blinds and provide decent protection from the street noise.

Home from home

Firstly, Franco and Nicoletta are wonderful hosts on arrival they picked me up from the airport, and when left, they took me to the station. The location is ideally situated close to main attractions. There are plenty of bars and restaurants a short walk away The apartment is very spacious, well equipped, and comfortable Thank you, Franco and Nicoletta

One of the best locations I've been to

The apartment on the first floor is very large, very clean, located close to the center (tourist attractions: Ursino Castle, Sant Agata Cathedral, fish market, etc.) and the bus station. The owners, Nicoletta and Franco, are extraordinary, you can see the care and love in the way they arranged the apartment, so you feel at home, very attentive to the smallest details. It's very nice to meet people directly, not just impersonally via WhatsApp, as often happens with other properties. Pleasant surprise to find water in the fridge, fruit on the table, coffee, tea, biscuits. Comfortable beds, 2 toilet rooms and a separate shower cabin. A few steps away on the same street, we found a pizzeria, bakery-salami with very good products, but there are many other good stores in the area. I warmly recommend this apartment.

full value for the price, highly recommended

Excellent location practically a very short walking distance from all the best that Catania has to offer. (the Domo, the citadel, the fish market, dozens of restaurants and cafes. The shopping street Absolutely everything. and if you want something beyond Katanya. So the bus terminal is also within walking distance. The apartment itself is very spacious, very quiet. very clean, And equipped with everything you can think of, but literally everything possible. Franco and Violet were very nice and even on their own initiative, they occasionally contacted me to check that everything was okay and if I needed help. Full value for the price. I will recommend all my friends and acquaintances to come and stay

i highly recommend this property and it’s wonderful hosts.

Thé owners are amazing hosts!!! They had already stocked the apartment with some basic groceries and bottled water — a nice perk for tired travelers! They picked me up from my previous lodgings, and gave me a ride to the airport on my last day. They checked train schedules and advised me on tourist sites — using Google Translate very capably! Wonderful hosts.

This was one of the best apartments I have ever stayed in.

Very cozy and well equipped apartment with excellent location - close to historical monuments, fish market, bus station, and many restaurants and cafés. The hosts, Nicolleta and Franco, were super kind and helpful, and even gave us a lift from and to the airport. Would recommend this apartment to everyone.
