La casa sulla piazza (Historic apartment)

A dream apartament right in the centre of Enna. Full of history and art. We fell in love with each detail. Cannot wait to be back. Grazie mille!

Nothing.

Enna is not an average tourist town. It takes patience to get into the old city and concentration to find parking but the reward is discovering a gorgeous, friendly place with the most stunning views from the Northern beveldere to Etna covered in snow and from the South to Lago di Pergusa and distant countryside. The apartment overlooks the town's main square. It's quiet, beautifully appointed with antiques and art, has balconies to each of the bedrooms and is both homely and extremely stylish. We just had coffee in the morning in the little kitchen and didn't take the breakfast left for us not because we didn't like it but because we'd eaten so well at Ristorante Tommaso the previous evening - only a five-minute walk away and where we met our host who is very friendly and charming. Our host gave us excellent information on how to find the property, where to park and where to eat - Tommaso! Travelling around Sicily by car can be hard going but the apartment was soothing, snug and comfortable - a perfect place to wind down and find calm.

There are stone stairs to the apartment - not too many but next time we won't take such a large and overstuffed suitcase! There was nothing not to like.

The location on one of Enna’s squares was very good as this meant that we always found a parking space nearby (in late April). The flat has been carefully styled and is very original in design. The suggestions for restaurants were very good and enabled us to enter into the particular character of Enna

The range of cutlery would have inhibited anything other than simple cooking.

It’s location. Size of apt, facilities and fully equipped kitchen. Breakfast supplies

Unfortunately, there was a water supply problem by the council which we were advised before arrival. We had not water for our entire stay. Very grateful our host gave us many many extra bottles of water. Which was much appreciated

Beautiful and impeccably clean apartment, wonderful location with great views. Great communication with the host, easy check-in and check-out, great tips on what do see and where to eat.

We were there with our friends, another couple. There were two double rooms, a kitchen/ dining, and a bathroom. Both rooms were spacious. It was good to have a table in the kitchen/dining where four of us sat, enjoyed chatting and making plans, while sipping wine. Enna is a very good place to stay to visit Villa Romana del Casale in Piazza Armelina. From the flat, it's a close walk to The Rock of Ceres, from where you could see a wonderful panorama of the middle part of Sicily.

There was only one bathroom between us. The door separated two bed rooms did not close properly. Parking could be problematic.

The central location was great. The rooms were spacious with nice historic furniture and a view onto the piazza. The self check in was easy because of the detailed description of the host. In the kitchen we found a packed breakfast and good coffee as well as drinks and small snacks.

Unfortunately the shower head couldn't be fixed properly. Fr Fr

La casa sulla piazza is a stunning apartment - we felt so lucky to have found it. Our host was really helpful. We received an excellent little video showing us the apartment from outside and how to get into it. Very useful! And lots of info on where to go and what to do - some of which we would not have known otherwise. Particular highlights were the Museum of Myth and Al Kenisa ( a deconsecrated church - how a bookshop/bar) and the best ice cream in Italy!!

The only negative thing to say relates to the noise. The apartment is on a very busy square and the traffic goes around it incessantly. However, the shutters are brilliant at blocking the noise so we had a very comfortable sleep. Breakfast was a little lacking. We would have appreciated something fresh - fruit or yoghurt perhaps. There were prepackaged croissants and some jams, milk and 2 cartons of fruit juice. However, it's possible to buy some fresh fruit from a shop around the corner. The coffee options were fantastic with a nespresso machine and an Italian percolator with fresh coffee. Our host very kindly delivered some fresh baked focaccia too.
