Guest Reviews
- Bradley (8/5): - Location. A lot closer to Centro Historico, and the markets than we initially thought Traffic noise
- Milena Stojanovic (10/5): Excelent - Beautiful apartment located just 5 minutes walk from the city center of Catania. Many bakeries nearby where you can grab delicious pastry's for breakfast with coffee in the morning or any time of the day.
The host Peppe was incredible and we are both very grateful to him for all his assistance during our stay. He went above our expectations to make our stay even better and helped us with arranging the taxi to reach the airport on the way back. Coming from Germany where its super quiet most of time it took us some time to adjust to the noise from the outside but even that could not change the fact that the accommodation and service was 10/10. Thank you!
- Dusan (10/5): I suggest this stay. -
- Dr. Beate (8/5): Wohlgefühl in Catania - Das Haus liegt in einem sehr schönen Stadtteil. Die Sehenswürdigkeiten sind zu Fuß erreichbar, ein toller Kiosk, in dessen Freibereich sich der Abend wunderbar ausklingen lässt.
Wir hatten zwei kleinere Zimmer, die genügend Stauraum boten und ein Badezimmer. Unsere Fenster gingen auf den Hinterhof, so dass wir trotz der vielbefahrenen Straße Ruhe hatten. Mit Kaffeemaschine und Wasserkocher standen dem Kaffee- und Teegenuss keine Hindernisse im Weg. Das "Butlerpaar", das sich um Wohnung und Mieter kümmert, spricht deutsch, ist äußerst liebenswürdig und hilfsbereit. Gerne wären wir länger geblieben. Nichts.
- Maria Teresa (9/5): -
- Costanza (9/5): Ottima esperienza! - La struttura è in una posizione strategica per andare nelle zone più centrali ma rimane in una zona più autentica e meno turistica. I pavimenti della camera sono bellissimi, e ci sono alcuni dettagli molto carini. Un’altra cosa che abbiamo molto apprezzato è la gentilezza di Peppe, che ci ha fatto trovare dei biscottini e ci ha procurato ulteriori cialde di caffè come da noi richiesto :) La vista della camera non era bellissima, e il bagno era un po’ piccolo
- Mariola (8/5): -
- Alfred (9/5): -
- Kornelija (9/5): - Central, clean, good parking near by. No big cups.
- Jean-Marie (9/5): - Hôte très gentil, utile, disponible, serviable. .
- Damian (8/5): - Good location, very close to the historical center. Spacious rooms with nice ceiling paintings, although at first they caused the feeling of emptiness (there aren't many items or furniture in the rooms). View on the small, but busy street, but it's Italy - which street is not busy? Helpful owner, easy contact. AC in both rooms. All required equipment (towels, hangers, fridge, etc) available except the washing machine or kitchen. Included breakfast meant coupons to nearby cafe (1 per person per day, all available at once) - a snack (pizzetta, arancino, etc) plus a drink (small coffee or juice). Rooms felt empty with lack of furniture (bed, 2 bed stands and one TV stand in one room, sofa, 2 tables, 2 chairs, a cabinet and a fridge in the other) and very high ceiling. On the other hand bathroom/toilet could fit one person tops (about 5sqm including shower space). Huge and empty space also meant fairly cold nights (we run AC to warm up just before sleeping). Not sure if this is standard in Sicily considering the yearly weather, but there was no central heating, while the temperature in the night was as high as 7-10 degrees Celsius outside - it wasn't bad, but it's something to consider for those who don't like chilly mornings.
- Stanislav (8/5): -
- Katrin (8/5): - Lage der Unterkunft war sehr gut. Kommunikation mit Peppe war super. Das Bad ist sehr, sehr klein.
- Raquel (10/5): - El encanto del sitio y la ubicación
- Silvio (9/5): - Nice flat. Great location. Very quiet despite being on a busy road.
- Eric (8/5): Good, comfortable stay for one night - Location was good, close to centre. Hard trouble finding place to park in order to unload and load luggage (not the fault of the accommodation!)
- Dorota (10/5): Luksus w centrum Katanii - Doskonała lokalizacja i czystość. Bardzo wygodne łóżka. Wszystko działało bez problemu. Łatwe zameldowanie i świetna opieka gospodarza.
- Elettra (10/5): Struttura molto bella e curata in ottima posizione - Ottima posizione. Host molto gentile e sempre disponibile, nella camera abbiamo trovato dolcetti tipici ed indicazioni su dove manguare. La struttura e' molto bella, arredata con gusto e curata nei minimi dettagli. Consigliatissima
- Andreas (9/5): - Really nice stay at this accommodation, also very friendly and fast communication! Loved it
- Mathilde (8/5): Une nuit parfaitement reposante pour visiter Catane. - Les plafonds magnifiques
L’impression de dormir dans un château
La salle de bain impeccable
Le lit très bon
Et la pièce d’entrée/petit salon très agréable Pas de possibilité de prendre un petit déjeuner sur place, il y a une bouilloire et une cafetière mais aucun sachet de thé malheureusement.
- Elina (9/5): В целом все понравилось. Апартаменты очень приятные, стильные. Хозяева дружелюбные и готовы прийти на помощь. Немного ме - Размер апартаментов, отделка, высокие потолки, чистота спнузлов Слышно шум с улицы, твердые подушки
- Aleksandrs (10/5): - Fantastic location. Nice apartment. Very good communication with owner.
And we were very pleased with the cookies and coffee that were left for us.
- Bethany (10/5): -
- Kim Verbeek (9/5): Prachtig appartement op goede locatie - Het is prachtig. Mooie oude plafonds en tegels op de vloer. Heerlijke douches en fijne bedden. Ook de locatie is top. Je wandelt zo het centrum in en op korte afstand kun je de auto parkeren in een parkeergarage. Inrichting was heel stijlvol! Eigenlijk niets maar als je iets moet noemen. We waren met z’n vieren en er waren maar 2 stoelen bij de tafel (wij spelen graag spelletjes dus dat was een beetje lastig) en ik miste toch wel een klein keukentje zodat je thuis ook iets kan drinken. We hadden nu geen glazen. Maar we waren weinig ‘thuis’ dus was niet heel erg.
- Stanimir (9/5): - Very well refurbished apartment, with old features such as the ceilings the electricity went off ofter
- Anja (9/5): Great place with style and lots of space. Very helpful and friendly owner 😎 -
- Heuer (8/5): Very good - Beautiful place, stunning. Our host was incredibly tentative, we received quick and helpful communication. There was a special treat by the coffee left for us, which was a lovely surprise. We enjoyed people-watching from the balcony and the crazy driving, lol. It was only a 5-minute walk to the city center. The area wasn't ideal for us.
- Chiung-yueh (10/5): Exceptional -
- Iris (9/5): Amazing location, property and very nice host! - Excellent host who was very helpful when we needed information, accommodated to us needing to check in early. Very nice and friendly.
The apartment is very big and there is a lot of space in the rooms, located a short 10 min walk from Piazza Duomo. There is a washing machine home on site!
100% recommend 1. Not a big problem at all, but there are no plates and cutlery so if you want to cook dinner, you will need to buy some. There is a shop next to the property that sells forks and knives and plates!
2. The only issue with the property is that there seems to be a smell coming from both bathrooms at so you need to leave the light on to allow the vent to work
- Melanie (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing location, Peppe was very helpful. This apartment was very clean, beautiful tiles and ceilings. the Bed was very comfortable, beautiful huge rooms and hotel standard. Fantastic shower. Front room next to road was still a little loud even though had double glass and shutters.
- Anastasia (10/5): Exceptional -
- Aric (10/5): Exceptional -
- Nina (10/5): Exceptional -
- Saugat (10/5): Gorgeous apartment, great location and a very communicative owner - 1. Very kind and communicative owner. We were a bit delayed but there was no problems checking in. He was communicative , right from the beginning, which is very appreciated.
2. The apartment is huge and gorgeous. We were a bit sceptical initially because it seemed like a new property with not so many reviews, but thank god, we booked it. It is very aesthetic, clean and is in a very good location. You can walk to Piazza Duomo is less than 15 minutes.
3. There was enough coffee pods and tea bags and tasty pistachio cookies. We loved them. 1. The door of the building is a bit cumbersome. It takes getting used to (to lock).
2. A little rack in the smaller bathroom for keeping toiletries would be great.
- Rohan (10/5): Would recommend and hopefully go back - Host was extremely pleasant and helpful. Room is very elegant and clean
- Daniel (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mariann (10/5): Exceptional - We were greeted by really elegant, comfortable and clean rooms, plus welcome coffee and bisquits! Good location, many shops and restaurants nearby, the heart of the city is just a short walk away. The host is very friendly, always available and shares many recommendations. Would definitely stay there again.
- Eva (10/5): Exceptional - Brand new apartments with everything you need. Excellent communication with the owner.
- Aurora (10/5): Amazing experience. - Staying at this suite in the heart of Catania’s city center was an absolutely unforgettable experience! From the moment we stepped through the door, it was clear that no detail had been overlooked. The suite effortlessly blends modern luxury with the historic charm of Sicily, offering an ideal retreat for travelers seeking both comfort and a sense of place.
The suite was spacious, with high and historic painted ceilings and large windows that allow plenty of natural light to flood in, making the suite feel airy and bright. The furnishings are sleek and stylish, combining elegance with practicality and high-quality amenities.
The location couldn’t be better – you’re just a short stroll away from the bustling streets of Catania, with its vibrant markets, historic landmarks, and a plethora of excellent restaurants. Whether you’re admiring the stunning Baroque architecture of Piazza del Duomo or taking in the vibrant energy of Via Etnea, everything is within 5 minutes walking distance.
But what really made our stay special was the impeccable service. The host was incredibly welcoming and went out of their way to ensure that we had everything we needed. From recommending local hidden gems to providing personalized tips for making the most of our stay, they truly made us feel like we were part of the local community.
The suite was not just a place to stay; it was a sanctuary in the middle of a dynamic, culturally rich city. Whether you’re in Catania for a few nights or planning an extended stay, this suite offers a perfect blend of comfort, style, and location. We can’t wait to return!
