Cafiero House Catania Downtown by Sicily in Home

Had a really wonderful stay here with my Mum for three days. Super easy check in and Tiziana was very responsive over messaging prior to and during our stay. The home is roomy and really nicely decorated. Though we didn’t use the cooking facilities, you could definitely make the most of them if you’re planning on eating at home sometimes. The place is fully stocked with toiletries and cleaning products and there’s also a manual inside that gives lots of recommendations for eating, shopping and activities in Catania. The TV allows you to watch Netflix, Amazon etc. There’s a nice porch outside of the bedroom which gets the sun and we felt really safe here during our stay. Will definitely stay here again the next time I’m in Catania, thanks Tiziana!

Nothing, loved it!

Beautiful uniquely designed apartment, a few minutes walk from the city center with parking in the immediate vicinity.

The constant up and down the narrow stairs to get to the sleeping area and the unsightly but safe area spoiled the stay somewhat.

We liked the cute interior, and the attention to detail. The kitchen was fully equipped, and within a few hours this felt truly like home! Oh, and the bed was very good!

Nothing. And this is not a polite gesture, there was truly nothing wrong:)

A fantastic apartment with beautiful design. Only most grumpy people would find a reason to complain :) Decor is clever and tasteful, house has all the facilities you'd expect and hope for - including washing machine and fully equipped kitchen with all the accessories you'd need for even a longer stay - cutlery, pans, pots, glasses, coffee maker, even a decent supply of tea/coffee/spices etc. Owner really thought about everything. It honestly feels more like you're staying in friends' house than a hotel experience. Place is very spacious and house guide book is a great help if you don't know where to find something. The area looks rough but it's actually very popular among tourists and just a few minutes away from Piazza del Duomo. WiFi worked well, air conditioning unit is small yet does the job.

Not owners fault in any way: very chatty neighbours next street (late into the night). Once you closed the windows though - you forgot they're there. TV is mostly for viewing online services (which is fine) however Netflix wasn't set up correctly (most likely the due to recent Netflix account sharing changes). It wasn't a big problem though and I'm sure if we asked for that, someone would've came over and fixed it.

The apartment was as quiky as the photos indicate. The downstairs area is a bathroom, kitchen and living room, all are totally adequate. Upstairs is a main bedroom with an en-suite single bed. The apartment was not obvious to find, but actually quite easy to find when you fully read the supplied address. It's as beautiful as the photos show. The apartment is close to the Fish/fresh vegetable markets and to the bus route from/to the airport.

The initial "finding" of the apartment. It looks like it's in a really "poor" area of town, but really it's quite excellent, especially when the old town is really close.

The location is excellent. The owner, Tiziana was really helpful and always at disposal.

There was a renovation going on in the neighbour waking us up every morning but it is not the fault of the place. The bathroom is sometimes a little bit wet and smells like that.
