Guest Reviews

• Neege (10/5): Awe inspiring view into the Greco-Romano theatre. - The view! The view into the Greco-Roman amphitheatre is awesome. By day and by night. Feels like you have a VIP box at the theatre. The apartment is a really well detailed contemporary refurb. 4 star hotel quality. Bathroom spacious and well equipped. The key collection and access was somewhat complicated. But treat it as a treasure hunt - the arrival is well worth it!
• Eduard (9/5): -
• mario (9/5): Séjour exceptionnel - Vu exceptionnelle sur le théâtre grec de notre fenêtre. Proximité du centre ville. Ascenseur L’accès aux portes. 6 clés différentes. Il faudrait tout simplement leur donner une couleur.
• Cristina (10/5): - Posizione e “affaccio sull’anfiteatro)
• Antonio (9/5): -
• dhebora (10/5): - La camera è bellissima, in una posizione ottima.
• Jacob (10/5): Amazing experience - Great location. Host was very helpful. Nothing

• Giuseppe (7/5): -
• Domenico (9/5): Un soggiorno ideale per vivere da vicino l'anima storica e culturale di Catania - La struttura ricettiva si trova in un affascinante palazzo d'epoca, nel cuore del centro storico, a pochi passi dal Duomo, da via Etnea e a circa quindici minuti a piedi dal Giardino Bellini. La stanza, ampia ed accogliente, si affaccia direttamente sul teatro greco-romano, regalando una vista davvero suggestiva. Mirko è un ospite straordinario: disponibile, attento ed appassionato della sua città. Affidatevi ai suoi preziosi consigli se desiderate scoprire la Catania più autentica e sorprendente. Se proprio bisogna trovare un difetto, il bagno, non dotato di aerazione diretta (la finestra interna purtroppo può poco), dove si avverte talvolta un lieve odore di muffa.
• Miserendino (10/5): Mirko complimenti veramente, mi sono trovata divinamente. Pulizia super (che per me è fondamentale) bellezza sia della s -
• andreabart89 (9/5): - Excellent and very quiet location right in the centre of Catania. Great option for conveniently exploring the city while still having a good rest at night.

• Margaret (9/5): - It was truly an amazing experience to be staying right at the ancient theatre! Being able to simply look out your window & see it all was so special! The location was brilliant, close to everything & we walked to all the sights easily. We were given wine to celebrate our anniversary which was very thoughtful! 5 keys to get through 5 doors/gates & climbing 3 floors! However, that meant we felt very safe & secure & it was totally worth it for the bird's eye views of the ancient theatre!
• Carlos (7/5): - Ubicación, cama cómoda, atención del personal. Vistas al teatro desde la habitación. Baño sucio a nuestra llegada todo y que se precuparon por ir a limpiarlo, baño separado de la habitación, el acceso con muchas puertas y llaves todo y que están instalando un ascensor. Precio mejorable.

• Vincent2406 (9/5): Exceptionnel - Vue unique - Très propre et moderne, au centre ville, proche de tous les restaurants et monuments, vue unique et exceptionnelle sur un vieux theatre Antique. Très bon lit et le personnel très aimable (Marko). Rien. Il faut juste savoir que si vous êtes au 3ème il n'y a pas d'ascenseur et que les escaliers sont très hauts...

• Ho (10/5): Exceptional - Incredible view / location
• Thomas (10/5): Exceptional -
• Radostina (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jane (10/5): Completely lovely large airy quiet room with stunning view - I loved this place. It is in a big old apartment block about 5-10 minutes walk from the central square and 20 mins walk from the station. It is right at the top of the building (so if you don't like stairs it isn't for you). The room is light, airy and big with two large windows on either side and beautiful wooden beams on the ceiling. it was very tastefully decorated, the bed was comfortable and there is a shared kitchen with one other room. You can see from the photograph the stupendous view over the amphitheatre. Nothing
• Teofana (10/5): Exceptional -
• Rory (10/5): The host and the room went beyond our expectations. The view of the theater below is incredible! - The host and the room went beyond our expectations. The view of the theater below is incredible! Highly recommend staying here.
• Gemma (10/5): Fabulous stay, well positioned - we will be back! - Great apartment, very impressive view of the Teatro Romano. Mirko was very helpful in gaining access and general communications. Nice room, and common area. Very well positioned property for access to restaurants etc. The bottle of wine in the room was a nice touch. No issues at all.
• Wasan (10/5): Beautiful place but too many stairs and no lift - Beautiful room Too many stairs to climb
• Jekova (10/5): Gorgeous place. - Gorgeous place, gorgeous host, excellent location for all the sights and places to eat. Mirko, a host, made sure we didn't miss anything, and she also recommended a professional and excellent guide for Etna. We had a sense of home and friends.
• Maria (10/5): Will come back for sure next time I’m in Catania ❤️ - The view is amazing, the room itself big and comfortable. The bathroom had everything you need, there’s a coffee machine with capsules in the living room, contrary to other opinions I quite liked the entrance to the building, it’s typical for Italy. There’s a lot of doors that open with a key so it’s pretty secure, if you’re traveling alone. Strongly recommend, you won’t be disappointed. Everything was great
• Richard (8/5): Different, Catania is safe, seems grubby in places - Room was quirky, view from windows unique 110 steps , walking 5 stories, no lift, lots of works being done with numerous doors with keys to use
• Cem (10/5): Beautiful spacious room overlooking the Greek amphitheater - Location, cleanliness, decoration Everything was perfect.
• Cavi (10/5): Exceptional -
• Audrey (10/5): Exceptional -
• Helen (9/5): Modern, stylish and spacious room with awesome view. - Exceptional accommodation with an unrivalled view - where else could you look down on a 2,000 year old Roman amphitheatre directly outside your window? The host greeted us, helped with luggage and explained the mildly complicated access procedure. Our room and bathroom were modern, stylish, spacious, clean and comfortable. A bottle of wine was provided and there was access to a shared, attractive sittingroom/kitchen area. The location is close to the historical area but away from noisy city traffic. Highly recommended provided the stairs are not a problem. Entrance from the street is through a shabby courtyard and there are a lot of stairs to reach the premises, which may be difficult for guests who have heavy luggage. We thought it was absolutely worth the effort involved!
• Jelle (9/5): Superb - View, size of room, complementary bottle of wine, and the Rain shower. Loved it. No complaints at all.
• Frank (9/5): Outside History inside tastefully designed modern apartment - Very tastefully modern apartment in a splendid historic house right at the city centre view view from the room into Roman historic theatre. Mirko was very friendly and attentive, although mostly only accessible by messaging. The apartment has style and taste and is most important quiet. Mirko is flexible with arrival times but I had to wait for him 20 min in front of the apartment as I was a bit early. No fridge inside the room if you want to drink a drop of water I had to leave my room and enter the communal kitchen.
• Gennaro (10/5): Exceptional -
• Andrius (10/5): Exceptional -
• Nemanja (10/5): Mirko is such a great and helpful host and L’Affaccio is a perfect place you can chose for your trip to Catania. 10/ - Absolutely everything.
• Nicholas (10/5): The room was good and our host was excellent - Even prior to arriving we were impressed with how Mirko (the host) organised an early check-in for us and organised a takeaway breakfast because of our odd flights. When arriving he was also excellent at explaining the hotel and giving us plenty of recommendations to use in Catania. If I come back to Catania I fully plan on staying with L'AFFACIO In all fairness this location was "perfect for a one night stay" so there is nothing I didnt like. Others may be concerned about disability access and require more bells and whistles but I was happy.
• Mighity (10/5): Exceptional - My experience in Catania was truly unforgettable. I had the pleasure of staying for over a week, and it was absolutely amazing. The accommodation was not only comfortable but also conveniently located near the city center, making it easy for me to explore and find great restaurants and shops. Moreover, the warmth and helpfulness of the people in Catania made my stay even more delightful. Their friendliness and willingness to assist added a special charm to my overall experience, making it truly memorable. All in all, my time in Catania exceeded all expectations, leaving me with cherished memories that I will treasure for a long time to come.
• Jean-philippe (10/5): Enjoyed our stay at this beautiful location in the heart of Catania. No (real) complaints, as everything was perfect. Mi - + Spacious, clean and nice interior (exactly as pictured) + Beautfilul terrazzo tile floor + Great view of the Teatro Romano + Located in the heart of Catania with easy access to many restaurants, shops, etc. + great communication with host incl. tips and recommendations for activities in/around Catania - Flat is located at the top floor with no elevator available - WiFi could be more stable/quicker
• Dimitris (10/5): Very pleasant staying in the center of Catania - Spacious room, nicely renovated in a historic building just 5’ of the city central square. Mirko, that handles the place provided all relevant information and practical tips. The view over the Roman theatre is amazing! Albright being on the third floor there is no elevator in the building, but this is not a problem for everyone.
• Krzysztof (9/5): Superb - The location of apartament was epic! Kitchen was shared with others.
• Stephan (8/5): Very good - very nice apartment nothing really to complain about.
• Zuzana (10/5): The best apartment in best location with the best host.❤️❤️❤️ - Everything!!!!!!!❤️ the view, the smell inside the apartment, the furniture, host Mirko who took time to explain us everything, was always available anytime we had a question, little touches like free bottle of wine, water, juices, coffee, vouchers for breakfast in coffee shop, 2 tokens for coffee in a Sicilian cafe..bed, hot water, air conditioning. We hope we will come back again one day. This was one of the best apartment i have ever stayed in and the best host Mirko. Thank you Mirko for everything again!!! that i could not stay longer😭😭😭😉, i loved everything about the property however one thing i could mention as negative is the late check in 3-4pm, even though i have to mention that Mirko was great and let us in earlier to drop the bags at least, thank you Mirko..and maybe for some could be the problem to get to the 3rd floor by stairs, there is no lift in the building…and please dont be put off by the entrance door:-)…its a historical building which is currently being renovated…
