Guest Reviews

• Iwona (10/5): Wspaniale - Piękny apartament, okolica spokojna i bardzo przyjemna. Blisko do wszystkich ważnych miejsc. Gospodarze wspaniali, rodzinni, wsparcie i kontakt na każdym etapie. Na powitanie i pożegnanie gospodyni przygotowała przepyszne makarony. Lodówka pełna napoi, owoce świeże, prosecco - po prostu top! Dawno nie spotkałam się z taką gościnnością i opieką. Polecam w 110%.
• Paloma (9/5): - El trato recibido por Roberto y su familia
• Andrea (10/5): -
• Maciej (10/5): - A wonderful place, a beautiful and clean apartment, well-appointed. Great location, close to everything. Very friendly and helpful owners.
• Ieva (10/5): - Wonderful apartment with a retro style and exceptional cleanliness. The host was friendly, and the apartment included thoughtful treats to enjoy. I highly recommend this place!
• Avi (10/5): - Very good hotel and nice family all the time help Very good location
• jiayuan (10/5): 房东一家非常热情细致，住宿地点优越 - 干净舒适 没有
• Nathalie (10/5): -
• Ana Filipa (9/5): Good place to stay as a family to get to know Catania. - Location, the warm welcome, and the apartment in general was really well equipped. The host was truly helpful with hints and tips on where to eat and what to visit.
• Susan (9/5): We enjoyed our stay very much, especially because of the kind and helpful family that owns the Borgo. - Wonderful, welcoming, helpful staff. For us elders, the 2-level unit with spiral staircase was a little bit of a challenge. We will choose a larger unit next time.
• Julye (10/5): One of the absolute best of my travels! - The absolute best hosts I have ever encountered in my travels! Absolutely amazing. Gabriele and his family were accommodating to our needs when I made a mistake in booking. They provided a well stocked refrigerator and snacks and even made us lunch - which was excellent!! They also provided some really great suggestions for restaurants too. The apartments are very cute and recently done so everything worked well and was very clean. The bed is firm, which normally I don’t like as much but I slept great in the nice quiet space. I would absolutely plan to return. I actually tried but unfortunately they were fully booked - good for them, sad for me. Nothing. If you don’t have something, just ask!
• Francois (10/5): -
• SanderRoyes (10/5): - Встретил отец Габриэля, передал ключи, при въезде накрыли стол! с вином сыром и колбасами! Квартира двух этажная на первом этаже кухня и санузел, на вотором спальня. От цента 5-10 минут пешком. Рядом рынок, через него можно дойти до станции метро. Либо напрямую на площадь беллини. Всё было хорошо. единственное что ступеньки на второй этаж, но это не проблема. Всё супер!
• John (10/5): A wonderful stay, made special by the hosts Gabriele and his family. Many thanks. - The apartment was absolutely spotless and very well equipped with everything we needed. What made it even better was Gabriele and his family, a very loving, welcoming and hospitable family and hosts.They invited us to lunch where we sampled delicious Sicilian Pasta, wine and traditional cakes and pastries, as well as great conversation despite the language differences. The fridge in the apartment was filled with water, juice, and beer. In addition to this we were provided with traditional cakes and biscuits, a huge bowl of amazing fruit and a vase of beautiful flowers to welcome us. Highly recommend staying here.
• Ayla (10/5): - Our host Gabriele and his family are magnificient. Thanks for everything:)
• Cory Yu Xian (10/5): A fantastic home-base at Catania - Our stay at Borgo Santa Caterina was nothing short of exceptional. The apartment itself is tucked away in a charming, quiet, flower-lined alley that feels like a peaceful retreat right in the heart of Catania. The space was spacious and completely spotless. As people who love to cook, we were thrilled by the wonderful kitchen—it was fully equipped with plenty of pots, pans, and genuinely sharp knives (a rarity in rentals!). The location is super convenient, less than a minute's walk from a fantastic local market where we bought fresh sea bass, rib-eye, and a cornucopia of fruits and vegetables to cook at home. What truly sets this place apart, however, is the hospitality. Gabriele was a fantastic host, and his parents, who live on the same street, were incredibly generous. On our second night, they brought us a homemade meal of brochetta with aubergine and goat cheese, fresh pasta pomodoro, and a carafe of local wine. It was such a warm, authentic gesture that made our trip unforgettable. We genuinely feel the family really wanted us to have the best experience at Catania. We cannot recommend this property enough. Nothing at all.
• Marcell (10/5): -
• Zuzana (10/5): - Toto bolo to najlepšie čo sme na Sicílii zažili. Nikdy by som nepovedala, že to napíšem k apartmánu, ktorý bol vlastne bez okien. Ale jednoducho hostitelia skutočne vytvorili pocit, že sme tam doma. Boli sme ubytovaní hneď vedľa trhov s jedlom - ovocím, zeleninou, rybami. Varili sme si aj keď to na dovolenke nerobíme ale my sme tej zelenine a rybám neodolali. V apartmáne bolo všetko potrebné. Vôbec sme nehľadali apartmán s kuchynským vybavením ale to nám došlo,keď sme si odšťavovali čerstvé pomaranče aké to je úžasné, že ho máme. Vo februári prísť po zime na miesto, kde je jedlo priamo zo záhrad s pravou sicílskou atmosférou, bolo neskutočné. Toto bol labužnícky pobyt. Vlastne sme sa vybrali na gastronomický pobyt ani sme to nevedeli :). Polovica ulice na trhoch bola rodina našich hostiteľov - dostali sme ako darček olivový olej a vlastne všetko možné bol proste "darček". V živote sme nejedli lepšie olivy ako od Gabrielovho otca. Dostali sme aj typy na reštaurácie a tie ktoré sme využili, boli skvelé. Pýtali sme sa na rôzne veci, rady - prenájom auta atak dalej a hostiteľ nám ochotne odpovedal a radil. Boli sme potom ubytovaní v nádhernej vile s welleness ale stále sme spomínali na zážitky v tomto ubytovaní. Ak chcete pravý sicílsky zážitok, odporúčame a Gabrielovi, jeho otcovi a celej jeho rodine ďakujeme a radi sa vrátime späť.
• Natasza (10/5): - È stato un vero piacere trascorrere del tempo da voi! Ci siamo sentiti come a casa di buoni amici, con un frigorifero pieno d’acqua e di altre bevande, tutto senza costi aggiuntivi. Inoltre, un cesto di frutta, vino e dolcetti. In bagno, tutti i prodotti necessari per la cura personale. La stradina e l’appartamento sono ristrutturati e molto confortevoli. Silenzioso e accogliente, nonostante si trovi proprio nel centro della città.
• Agata (10/5): - Very comfortable and extremely well-equipped, the most welcoming atmosphere! Great hospitality! -
• Mei en (10/5): - Gabriele was a fantastic host. He helped arrange taxi rides to and from the airport which made getting to the apt a breeze. He met us in person to show us the apt and when he found out we wanted to try a local pasta (and were also celebrating our anniversary), he and his parents went above and beyond our expectations and cooked us a delicious meal - including the pasta, chicken and an amazing bottle of red wine. The refrigerator was stocked full of drinks and there were snacks and fresh fruit and flowers prepared. They made our stay in Catania so memorable and special! n/a
• Joanna (10/5): wyjątkowi gospodarze - Apartament bardzo ładny, czysty i wygodny, w pełni wyposażony. Była w nim dobrze wyposażona kuchnia, ekspres do kawy, czajnik, pralka, żelazko, deska do prasowania, wszystko czego potrzebujesz. W apartamencie było bardzo ciepło, mimo że pobyt był zimą. Zapewnione były wszystkie środki higieny, mydła, żele pod prysznic, szampony, kapsułki do pralki, itp. Mieliśmy zapewnioną kawę, herbatę, cukier, itp. Gospodarze zadbali o zaopatrzenie lodówki w wodę, mleko, piwo, soki, wino. Niczego nam nie brakowało przez cały pobyt. Otrzymaliśmy od gospodarzy kosze owoców, słodycze, przysmaki sycylijskie. Właściciele byli bardzo troskliwi, wielokrotnie częstowali nas własnoręcznie przyrządzonymi specjałami kuchni sycylijskiej. Mogliśmy zakwaterować się wcześniej niż wynikało to z regulaminu i po zakończeniu pobytu zostawić bagaże w apartamencie, jak długo było to nam potrzebne. Apartament jest położony kilka minut od centralnej ulicy miasta. W pobliżu są kawiarnie, restauracje, jest też duży targ. Gospodarze mieszkają w pobliżu i reagują natychmiast na każdą zgłoszoną potrzebę.
• Kinga (10/5): Idealny pobyt - czysto, świetna lokalizacja i wspaniali gospodarze. - Gospodarze są niezwykle mili, życzliwi i pomocni - zawsze gotowi doradzić. Każde ich polecenie sprawdziło się w 100%, dzięki czemu pobyt był jeszcze przyjemniejszy. Apartament był idealnie czysty i bardzo zadbany, co od razu dawało poczucie komfortu. Ogromnym atutem jest również bardzo dobra lokalizacja, która umożliwia łatwy dostęp do najważniejszych miejsc w okolicy. Na powitanie czekały na nas ciasteczka, babeczki oraz świeże owoce, a lodówka była pełna napojów. Widać dbałość o każdy detal i prawdziwą troskę o gości. Zdecydowanie polecam to miejsce i jeśli będę znów w Katanii to z przyjemnością wrócę tu ponownie :)
• Claudia (10/5): We would love to return!!!! - We loved everything about this property. It was located near several wonderful restaurants, a huge outdoor market, great coffee and pastry shops, and well known shops. The airport bus stop was a 5 minute walk away and the beautiful Bellini Park is even closer. Our host met us at the apartment where we found fresh fruit, a fully stocked refrigerator, coffee and tea. We were also supplied with laundry pods for the washer/dryer. Much needed after several weeks of traveling. We had everything we needed including clean comfortable indoor and outdoor space to rest and relax. Gabriele gave us a list of nearby restaurants and places to explore. On day 2 our host treated us to a typical home cooked Sunday Sicilian dinner with appetizers, drinks, a fabulous pasta dish and dessert. What a surprise!!!! If you are planning a trip to Catania, Borgo Santa Caterina is the place to stay. For many years Gabriele’s parents have been transforming their neighborhood into a beautiful clean quiet place to share with travelers. We feel lucky to have had the opportunity to experience this property. Thank you!!!!! It was perfect!!!!
• stephen (10/5): Great location, very lovely family hosts who were more than helpful. - Everything was well appointed and we were met by a very friendly host who couildn't do enough for us and was very helpful, with a fully stocked fridge it all worked out brilliantly. Didn't get into the room till late and a pizza and and bottle of wine went down well from the host.
• Horvath (10/5): Szicíliai kiruccanás - Csak és kizárólag itt fogunk megszállni, ha Cataniába jövünk. A vendéglátó végtelen kedvessége, az apartman felszereltsége és elhelyezkedése mindent felülmúl. Nagyon szépen köszönünk mindent.
• marc (10/5): 10/10 in - Excellent room, great location very helpful staff, fully stocked fridge in a safe secure area Nothing
• LLLang (10/5): An enchanted little family run oasis - There was so much to love! The room was so relaxing and had everything we needed...they literally thought of everything: from a large bowl of fresh fruit, fresh flowers, tons of water and juice in the fridge plenty of coffee, to even leaving extra toiletries, Kleenex and face wipes. Bed was the most comfortable on our trip. Apartment was convenient to everything and the owner family were lovely! They have created a little magical alley oasis (they live right there too) right in the middle of the city. The father always had stories for us and was always bringing us snacks :-P. The son even drove us to the bus station the day we left. We have already told 2 others that we're heading to Catania about this place! We hope to return again one day! Nothing
• Alison (10/5): - Everything about the accommodation was fantastic. Spotlessly clean, well equipped, very comfortable bed, central location. Fridge was filled with water, juice, pop, wine and beer. Overflowing fruit bowl, cakes and biscuits. Delightful hosts, helpful in every way. If I could give a score higher than 10 I would. Thank you Gabriele and your parents for the warm welcome. If I return to Sicily I would definitely stay here again. Nothing
• Marina (10/5): Brilliant - Absolutely everything. Amazing location, very beautiful room, full fridge!!! Owners are so helpful and kind. Looking forward to staying again.
• Osekowska (10/5): -
• patrick (9/5): Sehr schöner Aufenthalt, zuvorkommender Gastgeber. - Ausstattung und Lage, sehr netter Gastgeber. Absolut ruhige Lage in einer Sackgasse und das nur 100m entfernt vom Fischmarkt. Alles war prima, für „Nordeuropäer“ eher ungewöhnlich eine Unterkunft nahezu ohne Fenster zu haben.
• Edgaras (10/5): -
• Natalia Gordeeva (10/5): - Идеальная чистота, расположение идеальное, аппартаменты находятся в отдельном собственном переулке, чистом и красивом, тихом месте в 250 метрах от центральной улицы. В аппартаментах было все, что можно пожелать: салфетки всех видов, кофеварка, печенье и кексы гора полотенец, домашнее вино, все виды напитков, полный холодильник воды, новая гладильная доска, утюг, зонты, полностью экипированная кухня. Прекрасный дизайн освещения. Прекрасный прием, отдельное угощение от хозяев. Хозяева всегда были на связи и помогали с решением всех вопросов. Такого нет.
• Jun (10/5): -
• Stephen (10/5): Excellent location to visit Catania, and outstanding hosts. - We had a reasonably large room with an excellent bathroom. Effectively, the owners are renovating and developing the whole alley. Everything was new. The hosts were extremely helpful, and very generous - wine, beer, milk, food in the fridge, plenty of consumables. The room was quiet, comfortable and secure. The location was very good - in the centre of Catania, within a five minute walk of the main pedestrian street and good restaurants. Borgo San Caterina is in fact on the Via Gallina, at the end of Via Santa Caterina, both of which are attractive narrow streets. It is best approached from Via Umberto 1, and not from Piazza Carlo Alberto which is less salubrious.
• Vit (10/5): -
• Razvan (10/5): -
• Maryna (10/5): - My parents stayed at Gabriel’s place, and it was simply the best experience! The apartment was spotless, cozy, and full of warmth. Gabriel was incredibly kind and always ready to help with anything. A special thank you to his lovely mother for keeping everything so clean and for the delicious fresh fruits from the local market. We felt completely at ease knowing our parents were in such good hands. Highly recommend this wonderful place!
• Vera Lombardi (10/5): - Lugar próximo a todas as atrações com estacionamento próximo. Quarto, cozinha ,sala e banheiro excelentes , muito bem equipado e limpos. Geladeira, com água, suco, leite, vinho. Recepção e atendimento do Roberto e Gabriele foi excelente. Vamos nos lembrar deles com muito carinho por todas as gentilezas por eles oferecidas.
• Agnaldo (10/5): OÁSIS NO CENTRO DE CATANIA - As instalações são de excelente qualidade, tudo novo, limpo, com tudo que precisa para uso diário, (maquina de café, sanduicheira , fogão, forno, micro-ondas, etc) o frigobar estava totalmente abastecido (chá, leite, água, vinho branco, suco, cerveja, refrigerante, etc) Banheiro com tudo o que é necessario, além da maquina de lavar roupas. Cama de casal muito confortavel. Agora o melhor de tudo foram os anfitriões, Roberto, sua esposa e seu filho Gabriele, muito eficazes, gentis e hospitaleiros. Nos deram de boas vindas um bom vinho tinto caseiro e um prosecco para brincarmos. As instalações ficam pertissimo da feira que acontece todos os dias nas ruas as sua volta, uma bagunça organizada imperdível, Roberto criou um verdadeiro Oásis na sua propriedade, saindo da bagunça da feira quando entramos nas calçadas de sua propriedade a paisagem muda como um encanto. Parabéns pela excelente propriedade. Ah! Preciso falar da Massa Norma, feita pela sua esposa, com beringela, molho, ricota ralada, além de outros incríveis ingredientes. Muito obrigado pelos bons momentos que passamos Catania. Tudo certissino com a propriedade do Roberto, somente foi um pouco difícil para estacionar o carro, mas encontramos um estacionamento grande perto e tudo ficou bem.
• Jennifer (10/5): - Incredible place with great hosts who really look after you. Fully stocked fridge - so many amenities. Nothing except that we had to leave 😪
• StyleTourist (10/5): LOVELY HOUSE IN A QUIET STREET WITH WONDERFUL HOSTS - Everything was spotless in the house and so comfortable. The street is lovely and very peaceful. A lot of care and attention has gone into this house, modern key card for entry and the AC was very good. The fridge was the most well stocked we have seen! Communication was excellent with our host Gabrielle (via WhatsApp), who organised our taxi transfer from the airport and also our taxi to Pozzallo as we were taking the ferry to Malta. Gabrielle's parents cooked us a Sicilian dish for dinner one night which was one of the best meals we had on our trip to Sicily. Please do not hesitate to book this accommodation - you will love it! We are so glad we chose Borgo Santa Caterina! Nothing.
• Brian (10/5): - Beautiful apartment. Gabrielle and his family were wonderful hosts. We would not hesitate to stay there again and will recommend it to friends and family.
• Omar (10/5): Los propietarios son la gente más amable de todo Italia - Todo Nada
• Yoni (10/5): Owner and his family were so helpful and kind, the apartment was really clean and fitted with everything you could need. - Really friendly and helpful owner and great facilities
• Kathryn (10/5): Beautiful kind hosts who gave us a delicious pasta meal and wine one evening and couldn’t be more accommodating or helpf - It was lovely very central and had everything you could possibly want. Nothing
• Edward (10/5): An impeccably clean apartment in a great location with friendly, helpful hosts. - Upon our arrival at Borgo Santa Caterina apartments we were greeted warmly by Gabriel who guided us to our beautiful unit. It was impeccably clean and the furniture and appointments are new, stylish and modern. The refrigerator was packed with complimentary water, beer, juice, milk, and a bottle of local wine. In addition, there was a bowl of fresh fruit on the kitchen table as well as breakfast muffins and cookies for us to enjoy, and the coffee maker had lots of pods ready for use. Gabriel took his time to highlight a number of excellent restaurants within a short walking distance of the apartment (which, incidentally all turned out to be outstanding). He also explained how to operate the coffee maker and wash machine. This family puts such love, care and pride in what they do and how they treat their guests. On our third night they surprised us with Pasta alla Norma and some superb Mt. Etna wine, all delivered to our door by Gabriel’s father with a smile and "Buon Appetito". The meal, which was cooked by Nonna, was absolutely exceptional. During our stay Gabriel was very attentive and always responded quickly via What’s App to any questions or concerns. The location is excellent with numerous restaurants and cafes nearby as well as a Lidl grocery store about a 10 minute walk from the apartments. In addition, there is a massive outdoor market with fruits, vegetables, fish, clothing etc. just a half-block away. Also, the gorgeous Bellini Park is only 2 blocks away. We travel extensively and have stayed at many different apartments in Europe and this rates as our instant favorite.
• stewart (10/5): Delightful Catania accommodation and hosts - Borgo Santa Caterina far exceeded our expectations, not just the almost new spotlessly clean apartment with its fully stocked complimentary fridge but Gabrielle the manager and his parents were delightful people. They even cooked a delicious dinner of La Norma pasta for us one night. Nothing
• Allan (8/5): -
• Christian (10/5): - Leider kann man nicht mehr als 10 Punkte vergeben, denn das wäre in diesem Fall angemessen. Wir hatten ein ein Zimmer Apartment welches geschmackvoll und sehr gut eingerichtet war. Der Kühlschrank war mit Getränken gefüllt, es gab einen Obstkorb und eine Flasche Wein. Alle Pflegeprodukte nebst Waschmittel für die Waschmaschine waren vorhanden. Bequeme Betten. Am Ende wurden wir noch zu Pasta eingeladen, welche die Dame des Hauses zubereitet hatte. Melone zum Nachtisch gab's noch obendrauf. Einfach unglaublich.. Sehr herzliche und zuvorkommende Eigentümer. Die Wohnung liegt zentral und der große Markt ist um die Ecke. Man kann sogar, wie in einer Oase, vor der Tür seinen Wein genießen. Absolut empfehlenswert!
• Sandra (10/5): -
• Luminita (10/5): - Gazda ne-a asteptat cand am ajuns pentru a ne preda cardul de acces si a ne prezenta apartamentul ( acesta este dotat cu tot ce iti trebuie la baie si bucatarie). Am avut flori proaspete in vaza , fructe , biscuiti traditionali si brioase, cafea pentru toate zilele ( am avut 5 zile), frigiderul plin cu apa, sucuri, bere , vin, lapte. intr-o seara am primit la cina, din partea casei paste traditionale care au fost excelente. nu exista
• Chiara (10/5): - Die Unterkunft war grossartig. Alles sehr sauber, der Wasserdruck in der Dusche top und das Bett bequem. Wir hatten alles, was wir brauchten und erhielten dazu noch einen Kühlschrank voll mit Wasser, Süssgetränken, Bier und Wein, sowie Kekse und Früchte gratis zur Verfügung. Die Gastgeber waren stets gut erreichbar und unglaublich freundlich. Wir würden definitiv wieder hier buchen. Es gibt nichts Negatives. Wichtig zu wissen ist allerdings, dass es in der Nähe fast täglich einen Markt gibt. Daher kann es am Morgen etwas lebendiger und nach dem Markt ein in der Parallelstrasse etwas schmutziger sein. Die Lage ist jedoch perfekt und die eigene Strasse sicher und geputzt. Somit nicht davon irritieren lassen, wenn man anreist ;-) Unser Zimmer war im Erdgeschoss, wodurch wir eher die AC nutzten als das Fenster öffneten.
• Jordi (10/5): Best welcome we could image to Sicily-Catania! Centric location but zero noisy. The owners are amazing they treat you li - Great location (centric but calm) , great owners at your disposal 24/7
• Paul (10/5): A true taste of Sicily and an Italian family. - It was amazing, nothing to want for, so close to the main part of Catania. Our hosts were amazing, nothing was too much trouble and they went above and beyond what was expected. Gabriel and Roberto and mama looked after us like family. Leaving
• Adrian (10/5): - Świetne miejsce, czyste, przestronne i dobrze wyposażone. Kontakt z gospodarzem bezproblemowy. Dodatkowo przywitał nas koszykiem świeżych owoców. Zdecydowanie polecam.
• Eugenia (9/5): Estupendo alojamiento - El dueño era encantador. Dejo la nevera repleta de comida y bebida! El apartamento tenía absolutamente de todo y estaba muy bien ubicado. Es un poco oscuro al estar en un bajo de una calle estrecha. Pero como estuvimos todo el día fuera visitando la ciudad y alrededores no fue un problema!
• Michelle (10/5): A great little apartment for a short stay in Catania. Wonderful hosts! - This little apartment is perfectly located, far enough away from the hustle and bustle but close enough to walk everywhere. The apartment is spotless and has everything you need for a short stay. The hosts parents and nonna made us the best pasta and shared with us some delicious wine.

• adriana (10/5): - Everything was exceptional. Very friendly and helpful hosts. We felt very good.
• Árpád (10/5): Hospitality and comfort - The apartment is completely new and very stylish, well equipped with all amenities. Gabriele, the owner is exceptionally friendly, he provided us with melon, olives and local wine as a gift to our dinner. Highly recommended! Thank you Gabriele!
• Karrie (10/5): - Where do we begin?! Our stay at Borgo Santa Caterina was exceptional! The accommodations were modern, clean, comfortable and we lacked for nothing! The family embraced our family and treated us like one of their own. Gabriele was incredibly helpful when our transportation to Mt Etna was cancelled at the last minute and he found us an alternative! He saved the day and kept us from missing out on the experience. Roberto was generous, kind and always looking to help and please us. The family made and served us dinner on our son's birthday! It was a delicious feast including a birthday cake! We cannot thank them enough for the incredible trip to Catania that we were able to experience and enjoy! Truly, an excellent stay and most memorable!

• Guylaine (10/5): Une mention spéciale pour ce logement. - Nous avons été agréablement accueillis par nos hôtes : une excellente communication, des conseils de visites… L’appartement était récent, propre, très bien équipé, avec le nécessaire comme à la maison, et en plus des boissons, des fruits, du vin ont été mis gracieusement à notre disposition. La situation centrale à Catane permet de simplifier les déplacements. Nous recommandons vivement cet établissement !!
• Maria Lujan (10/5): - El apartamento precioso y superlimpio. Estaba ubicado en pleno centro y. Sobre todo l9s dueños, nos han hecho sentir como en casa. Han tenido muchísimos detalles con nosotros. Nunca, en los 40 años que llevamos viajando, nos habían tratado tan bien. Gracias Liborio Roberto y familia. Ojalá el tiempo haga que volvamos a encontrarnos Nada
• JOSE ANTONIO (10/5): "Mi casa en Catania" - Los anfitriones fantásticos. Muy agradecidos a Roberto y Lucía, a Gabrielle. El alojamiento precioso,en una zona tranquila.

• Jacob (10/5): - Unfortunately, it was very difficult to say “goodbye” to Gabriele and his lovely family members. Since first day we have been warmly greeted and supported with searching/recommending of good restaurants. All family members were very open and friendly with us. Overall, the room was very modern, cozy and clean. From time to time, the host provided us with all necessary stuff: kitchen stuff, towels, detergents. We didn’t feel that something is missed in our trip. Unexpected surprise for us were Prosecco, wine, juices and bottles of water have been provided. Our fridge was completely full. The mother cooked amazing pasta for us. It was incredibly tasty with soaked of Italian love and covered with secret recipe. We are highly recommend this accommodation for those who plans to visit lovely Catania with plenty of beauty and special charm. Thanks a lot to all family members for hospitality 😊
• Federica (10/5): - Bellissimi appartamenti, molto curati e molto puliti. Gli host sono estremamente gentili e ospitali. Abbiamo trovato il frigorifero pieno di acqua e bibite e anche vino. Ci hanno anche offerto biscotti e dell'ottima frutta. La struttura é in una ottima posizione per esplorare Catania. Consigliatissimo. Niente
• Bożena (10/5): - Żadne słowa nie oddadzą tego, z jakim zaangażowaniem, serdecznością i gościnnością cała Rodzina nas potraktowała. Pobyt tutaj to była czysta przyjemność. Apartament lśniący czystością, na wyposażeniu wszystko co potrzebne, trudno nie wspomnieć o wypełnionej po brzegi lodówce pełnej wody, soków, napojów, pysznego prosecco i wina. Na stole kwiaty i owoce. Poczęstunek w postaci pysznej pasty był prawdziwą ucztą dla podniebienia. Na każdym kroku byliśmy rozpieszczani. Również podano nam wszystkie punkty gastronomiczne, a Daniel na prośbę zamówił taxi na lotnisko, co ułatwiło nam przemieszczenie się tam w godzinach porannych 🙏. Jeszcze nigdy nie spotkaliśmy się na wyjeździe z taką gościnnością i rodzinną atmosferą. Polecam każdemu z całego serca takie przeżycie i DZIĘKUJEMY♥️ Nie ma takiej rzeczy
• Chui Yan (10/5): Cozy and nice stay - Nice host, they treated us a homemade pasta which is the most delicious in this trip, full of drinks in the fridge, very clean and cozy, very nice to have a washing machine, good location to the Main Street, the restaurant and cafe recommended by the host are great None
• SERGIO (10/5): Una de nuestras mejores experiencias - La cordial y esmerada atención de los propietarios. Nos han tratado como si fuésemos parte de la familia. Nada negativo. Todo muy positivo. Hospedaje muy recomendable.
• Alexandra (10/5): Everything was done with so much love and thought and care for their guests - the true representation of Sicily, just th - Oh where do I start. Firstly, I apologise for my late review. The family running this beautiful, perfectly located apartment have it all organised to an incredibly high standard (I live in Dubai, so my standards are pretty spoilt lol). This is such an amazing location if you don’t drive, like me. The family just can’t do enough and honestly, I wanted to change the locks and stay there forever lol. Thank you for my wonderful stay, without a doubt I’ll be sending friends to you and coming back myself very soon 🙏❤️
• Karin (10/5): We‘ d love to come back🫶 - The owners are the most friendly and kind people….helpful and besides wonderful Chefs . All their recommendations are good as well. We felt like at home with the nicest family …
• larisa (10/5): -
• SilkeVs77 (10/5): - El alojamiento estaba súper limpio, contaba con detalles de todo tipo y, además, estaba muy bien localizado,al lado de la zona céntrica de Catania. El trato de Roberto y Gabriele fue excepcional. Sin duda, superó en mucho nuestras expectativas. Súper recomendable. Nada
• Sacha (10/5): Top Unterkunft im Herzen von Catania mit einer unvergesslichen Gastfreundschaft - In Bezug auf Gastfreundschaft hatte ich noch selten so ein positives Erlebnis. Da stimmte einfach alles von A bis Z und die Gastgeber führen diese Unterkunft mit sehr viel Herzblut. Ich komme wieder und kann diese Unterkunft nur empfehlen. Vielen herzlichen Dank.
• David (10/5): Superb accommodation that is brilliantly facilitated by the whole family. Not to be missed if staying in Catania. We wil - The property was absolutely amazing with attention to detail. It was like your own home. The whole family made us feel so welcome and as if we had known each other for many years. From a completely stocked fridge (Prosecco, wine, beers, soft drinks, juices, waters etc) to a full fruit bowl and even a vase of flowers. The coffee machine was excellent. The room introduction was brilliant. Hot plate to washing machine (with powder and softener). Aircon was perfect and the bed so comfy. Everything was spotless including the towels. Security entry door with swipe card. There was even a brilliant evening meal of pasta and a bottle of Mt Etna Red wine to wash it down. Grazi Mille to all concerned. Nothing - apart from going home.
• Sergei (10/5): - The hosts were extremely kind, and i'm saying it not just for the sake of it :) They're a lovely family. The house was super clean and beautiful. And there was a washing machine, I think all tourists will agree with me, this is one of the most neccesary things that is usually neglected in hotels. :) But the main thing is the hospitality of the hosts. We arrived on April 22 and wanted to climb Etna, but that day was a holiday, and we were late for the train and arrived the next day. The hosts gave us a gift to brighten up our failures. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
• Sharon (10/5): Fabulous stay in Catania - just the best ! - Where do I start! This was the best property that we have stayed at, and we travel a lot. This is a family run business, and the host family could not have been more welcoming, friendly and helpful. Gabriele was especially helpful with recommendations for restaurants and was always available to help us with any questions we had. The room was beautifully presented, very comfortable, and very clean. What sets this property apart was the all the fabulous extras - a fully stocked fridge (with plenty of water, juice, milk, wine, beer and breakfast food) flowers, food treats, a fruit bowl and plenty of coffee pods for the coffee machine. We were quite overwhelmed, and it was all just so gratefully received, especially after a long day travelling, as well as the washing/drying machine with washing products. Just to make our stay more memorable, the host family cooked us the most delicious pasta meal, which we enjoyed sitting outside in the delightful lane created for this property.The location is also perfect - very close walking distance to fabulous restaurants and the Sunday markets, which was fascinating. If you come to Catania, you have to stay here! Everything was just perfect! To our host family, we can't thank you enough.
• Patricia (10/5): Wonderful people who are generous and kind.The family went above and beyond and then some. Extremely generous and excep - Beautiful property tucked in like an oasis in a city
• roger (10/5): This is one of the most enjoyable stays we’ve had in many years.The family treated us to their homemade pasta Normaand m - The accommodation was of the highest quality. Everything was to a high specification and presented with care and attention. Nothing
• Sven (10/5): Wonderful apartment in Catania - Everything, it couldn’t be better! Good location, well equipped apartment, fantastic hosts. We were so lucky to stay in this apartment.
• Antoine (10/5): - Accueil très chaleureux de notre hote toujours très disponible et de bon conseil. Localisation optimale pour visiter Catane et ses alentours.
• Bernadette (10/5): Exceptional stay. Exceptional and lovely hosts. - We loved Borgo Santa Caterina and the family who hosted us from start to finish. Never felt more welcome!
• Renata (10/5): Parfait!! - Tout était parfait et très propre très bien localisé et puis le hôte était super sympa et accueillant toute la famille est parfaite. Merci beaucoup
• Steven (10/5): Just spent a week at the borgo Santa caterina apartments with my mam. I have travelled many places around the world and -
• Tanja (10/5): Wunderschönes Appartement im Zentrum - Das Appartement lag sehr zentral in einer kleinen Privatgasse direkt am Markt. Die Gastgeber Gabriele und seine Familie haben uns herzlich empfangen und hervorragend betreut. Italienische Gastfreundschaft in Perfektion! Wir haben das Borgo an unsere italienischen Freunde weiterempfohlen. Wir würden hier jederzeit wieder übernachten. Hier war alles perfekt!
• Diane (10/5): - Gabriel was a wonderful host. The apartment had a fully stocked kitchen with espresso machine and fully stocked fridge with wine, water , prosecco and juice, all complimentary. The market was steps away but the rooms were very quiet. Highly recommended. Nothing
• David (9/5): Ideal place to stay in Catania - Fantastic place to stay while in Catania. Several years ago, Gabriele and his family bought nearly all of the rundown buildings on a small, dead-end pedestrian alley and are slowly restoring them so they are now completely renovated, modern apartments. The alley itself has been painted and filled with plants so is a really beautiful, tranquil and safe spot to sit outside and enjoy a glass of wine at the end of the day with the sound of birds and occasionally some opera from a neighbour as the only noise - you feel like you are in the countryside (see photo). The parents also live on the street and are just fantastic, bringing over produce from their garden, and even making dinner for us one night. The apartment itself is well stocked, very clean, comfortable and super quiet at night as no car noise. Also a great location as easy walk to all the sights. There is a big street food market close by as well as many restaurants and a supermarket. We would definitely stay there again if we returned to Catania. Our apartment only had 1 window so a little dark during the day, but this is a very minor complaint as we were out exploring nearly the whole time, and the outside seating area was a great bonus.
• David (10/5): An Exceptional Experience. - The whole experience was exceptional! From the time of our arrival we never felt like tourists, we felt like family. The apartment was filled with everything you could ever want or need. One night the hosts insisted on cooking dinner for us. Amazing! Close to everything,but far enough away to be peaceful and quiet. We consider ourselves lucky to have found this property. Loved everything. Perfect!
• Sherryl (10/5): Highly recommended. - The apartment was beautiful, with quality fittings and everything you could need for a comfortable stay. The fridge was packed with things we might need- bottles of water and wine. A delicious meal of local Catania specialty pasta alla Norma was a delightful surprise gift one evening. We really appreciated how helpful the owners with any issues or requests, and they went out of their way to make sure we were ok. And the apartment is just off the Via Etnea and around the corner from the market so extremely well located.
• Arnoud (10/5): - The host, Gabriela was the friendliest person we have met. It was pouring with rain when we arrived. Gabriela was still there, waiting for us and he immediately handed the hairdryer to my wife when we were inside the appartement. The appartement was immaculate! We will come back! Absolutely nothing!
• roberta (10/5): - Gentilezza dell' host (il signor Roberto) è dir poco! Posizione comodissima per vedere tutto. Ottimi consigli per colazioni e pranzi/cene. La camera è in realtà un mini appartamento attrezzatissimo, arredato benissimo. L' ingresso al Borgo Santa Caterina può preoccupare perché è in un vicolo. Non fatevi spaventare, pochi passi e siete in un altro mondo.
• Natalia (10/5): - Good location, 15 minutes walk from train station. Great host, gave us lots of tips and help to find restaurants. Had kindly filled fridge with lots of drinks, all available to us. Very clean, well equipped, beautifully decorated apartment. Nothing
• bertrand (10/5): Séjour exceptionnel à Catane - Accueil exceptionnel et très chaleureux. En arrivant le soir à 20h30, la famille nous a apporté 2 assiettes copieuses de pâtes aux tomates, aubergines grillées, parmesan, basilic, une bouteille de vin rouge, un pur délice et quelle gentillesse, nous avons énormément apprécié cet accueil très généreux et convivial. Des fleurs, des fruits, des biscuits, eau, jus de fruits etc… et une belle bouteille offerte de Prosecco. Appartement très propre et confortable à étage, moderne avec tout l’équipement nécessaire. Très bien placé près du centre. Nous avons tout visité à pied en 2 jours. Marché tous les jours sauf le dimanche à quelques minutes de l’appartement. RAS
• Jiqin (10/5): This place deserves a 10 plus ! - Most generous host I have ever experienced, and I have traveled a lot and stayed at many lodges, they provided everything you need for the stay, water, beer, wine, fruits, snacks, and even cook you a pasta meal, all free of charge! The room is very clean with modern appliances, even have your own washing machine, in a great location, minutes walk to everything, and a huge morning market around the corner, we had so much fun at that market! This is definitely the best stay I have ever had, absolutely recommend it! None
