Iniside the building was absolutely beautiful. We had a huge bedroom and also a sitting room and large bathroom, with washing machine. There is also a shared sitting area which I imagine would be nice in bad weather - I think there is only 3 appartments in this group so we felt like we had everything to ourselves. Very secure - 3 key codes required. Bed was made daily which was unexpected for an appartment. Staff responsive over Whatsapp. Location is also quite good. 1min walk from airport bus stop. 10-15mins walk to central train station. 3mins walk to Fontana dell'Elefante, fish markets, busy shopping street.

A very clean, very good size room with one large chair and one standard chair. Both very comfortable. A large, comfortable bed. Good size balcony which we used in the evenings. The apartment is directly across an unused church and you are not overviewed. Nice and private. The security was excellent. Renata, who greeted us was fabulous to deal with. Our bed was made daily which was a nice surprise. The building is in a side street and it is within easy walking distance to the centre (300m ?) Airport bus stop is 100m away. Huge number of restaurants and bars in the area. Some of these you have to wait until later in the day to get going. Evenings in Catania’s centre are excellent. We found it very safe to walk around in the evenings.
Nothing that we could complain about.

This place was amazing and superbly located in Catania, close to everything by foot. High ceilings, modern bathroom, 3 balconies, espresso machine, a reception entrance lounge with a piano… honestly simply amazing! The property gets a 10/10 rate from me! Upon arrival, someone was already there waiting for us! Superb in every way!
The property is amazing, the location is great, but the environment there was noisy. There were two restaurant terraces on one side, a music club on the other, scooters, cars, trucks, motorcycles, sirens, people honking horns anytime of the day and night, dogs barking from their balconies! Noisy.

The location and rooms are large and well equipped. Area was quiet at night, nice breeze through large windows that open up to 3 balconies(only one room has this) The host was great. Very close to train and bus station
There is no sign on building indicating you are at the right spot. The street coming to location can seem a bit shady especially if coming at night. The entrance door is a old wooden door, once through there is an entry way that needs some love but once up to the second floor the apartments are lovely and spacious. No A/C until June 1st

Central location, spacious modern clean room, comfy big bed. Double glassed so little outside noise. Also, every 25 mins there is an Alibus direct to the airport (€4) The bus stop is just around the corner. Many restaurants and all the main attractions are within 5-10 minutes walking distance. Renata was very welcoming and helpful.
Initial entrance is a bit unclear, there is no name or signage on or near the 2 huge brown wooden doors on the street. After Renata opened Its doors, a long marble staircase leads to the apartments on the 2nd floor.

Our room was the suite and wow, what a beautiful room. So spacious and all of the details where perfect! The hotel was super close to the main square section, where there is honestly amazing food and coffee. if you are pistachio lover you will have the time of your life!
I just wish I had researched the area a bit more, I think unless you have a lot of excursions booked 2 days is all you need in Catania. However there is a lot of beautiful architecture in the area and some amazing food so don't be put off! The only other thing I would suggest is sending guest very clear instructions of how to get into the hotel maybe the day of or the day before because I essentially stumbled upon it by luck.

A wonderful property. I stayed in the suite, which is very spacious. The bed is large and very comfortable. The air conditioning effective. And the building, apartment and room very secure. A great location for exploring Catania.
You’ll need to write down the security codes (there are three separate codes to remember). But it’s manageable. And I appreciate the security.

Super nice and responsive host! Very big, clean and nice room with a balcony. Large and comfortable bed, everything you need is there and the host is nearby and available! Host also provided dental kits, vanity kits... everything you need! Great location, can walk to the main street
Not sure how safe the area is, but the room was safe and well closed.

Fantastic location, really easy to walk to from the bus/train station and into the centre. We were greeted by Renata who was friendly and made us feel at home. Great place to stay in Catania!
Slightly difficult to find from the street - we couldn't see any signposts but host was quick to respond to our messages.

The room/apartment was huge with a big bathroom, nicely furnished with design furniture. You have plenty of space and it is very quiet and dark at night so that you can really have a good night sleep. There was tea and a coffee machine available in the room. It is centrally located and you can access all interesting parts of Catania by walk. Antonio was very friendly and provided some good hints on things to do and where to eat in the city. Also it is next to a bus stop where the Alibus line stops to take you to the airport in 15 minutes.
