- Christiaan (10/5): Amazing stay and friendly host as well with nice tips for Catania - The property was large in size and it felt like it was just renovated. Very new and comfortable. -
- Francisco (10/5): El mejor apartamento de mi viaje a Sicilia - Todo. Decoración, ubicación, super amplio (80m²) pero sobre todo la simpatía de las propietarias. Está en pleno centro y apenas se oye ruido del exterior. Nada
- Sylvia (10/5): Traumhafte Wohnung - A perfect stay at Pietra Lavica – highly recommended!
We (4 girls) had a fantastic stay at Pietra Lavica last week and would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting Catania.
The apartment is beautiful, very spacious and spotlessly cleń. The two bedrooms are comfortable and quiet, and the bathroom is large, modern, and well-equipped.
The location is ideal: just a short walk to Via Etnea, Piazza del Duomo, and many shops, restaurants, and bakeries.
We especially appreciated how well-equipped the apartment was - from the kitchen with all essentials to the fast Wi-Fi and air conditioning, everything worked perfectly. The host puts a lot of care into every detail.
The host Carmelia was outstanding! Friendly, responsive, and helpful from start to finish. Check-in was easy, and she gave us great recommendations for places to eat and things to see.
Pietra Lavica exceeded our expectations. We would gladly stay here again on our next trip to Catania!
- cinzia (10/5): il meglio che io abbia mai provato! - affitto da oltre 30 anni appartamenti e/o case per vacanze, ma questo è senz'altro stato il meglio di tutti. spazioso e ben arredato, ambiente armonioso e accogliente. la location si trova in una strada parallela a via Etnea, zona pedonale della città vecchia. assolutamente da raccomandare. la disponibilità della titolare è stata fantastica. nulla, tutto perfetto.
- Kristina (10/5): Puikūs apartamentai, puiki vieta, labai patiko viešnagė. -
- Sophie (9/5): Superb - Beautiful, spacious apartment in Catania. In good location and could walk to main street, shops & restaurants. We stayed for 2 nights with friends - large living room and kitchen. One large bathroom in apartment. Very clean apartment. Host was extremely friendly and accommodating- we could drop off our bags as we arrived early. Needed to walk up stairs to apartment which was fine for us.
- Qiaoli (10/5): Exceptional - Very beautiful and clean brand new apartment in a nice position. A lot of space the owner is very nice 😊
- Vanya (10/5): Exellent appartment for a perfect stay in Catania - Perfect Location ! Spotlessly clean ! Carmelina was extremely helpful and responsive to all our needs ! We had an amazing stay thanks to her ! Highly recommend !
- Aliya (10/5): Magnifique! - Very lovely appartment - has everything you need for a stay in Catania center. Close to everything and especially very charming.
Host are very lovely and helpful! Nothing
- Anna (10/5): Perfect spot with an awesome host ❤️ - Stunning, conveniently located, beautifully and comfortably designed with everything you need for a perfect and comfortable get away. Everything has been taken care of including even art details and Bialetti capsules coffee maker. Gio as host was a warm and attentive. Place worth coming back to!
- Maria (9/5): Overall our stay was fabulous and our hosts were very solicitous and available. - The only difficulty was that there was no internet for almost 2 of our 4 day stay. Our hosts rectified the issue as soon as they could. Also the lift is ancient and not working which we knew but were hoping it would have been operational by the time of our stay. If you have luggage it's 30 steps up to the apartment. Be aware that there is restaurant noise in the evening so if you are light sleepers you may want to sleep in the other bedroom which is further away from the noise but also the bathroom.
- Angela (10/5): Exceptional - The decor was lovely, staff very welcoming The second bedroom was noisy at night
- Rose (10/5): Exceptional -
- Donald (10/5): Amazing - Top apartment, very stylish, nice large layout and super comfortable, although with 1 bathroom, it has 2 double sinks and it is huge. Nothing
- Lesley (9/5): Beautiful property, very helpful friendly and supportive owner - Spacious, very clean and well presented, it had everything that we needed. Check in was easy, and being able to check out late was a real bonus. The location was central, and put us within walking distance of all the major sights. The availability of the owner to answer questions when we arrived was great. It was excellent. However ,most nights the pizza restaurant that backs onto the rear (master bedroom ) created a lot of noise between 11:30pm and 1:10 am as they closed down and set up for the next day, so it was difficult to get to sleep without ear plugs. Secondary glazing would stop this, and make the property perfect.
- Gianandrea (10/5): Amazing - I recently had the pleasure of staying at PietraLavica Apartment in Catania, and it truly exceeded all my expectations! First off, the apartment is incredibly spacious, offering plenty of room to relax and feel at home. It was also spotlessly clean, with every corner impeccably maintained, which made my stay even more comfortable.
The location of the apartment could not be more central. Situated right in the heart of Catania, it made exploring the city's attractions, restaurants, and shops an absolute breeze. Despite its central position, the apartment remained quiet and serene, providing a peaceful retreat after a day of sightseeing.
One of the highlights of my stay was the helpful and accommodating host. They went out of their way to ensure I had everything I needed, providing a detailed guide in the apartment with excellent recommendations for local spots, transportation tips, and cultural highlights. The thoughtful touches and guidance really enhanced my experience.
Overall, PietraLavica Apartment is the perfect choice for anyone looking for a comfortable, clean, and centrally located stay in Catania. I highly recommend it and would definitely return!mazing, very spacious, We liked everything!
- Victoria (9/5): We had a nice stay in this apartment in Catania! - The apartment is very clean and spacious, and it is in a very convenient location to reach everywhere. The landlady is lovely, warm and helpful! The shower is strong and the beds are comfortable! Unfortunately the restaurant below the apartment is very noisy. Although the windows in the apartment have some noise proof function, but they cannot totally block away the people shooting, laughing, plates throwing sounds, this makes falling to sleep difficult.
- Chiara (9/5): Highly recommended - Lovely large apartment, very clean. Great location in the heart of Catania
- Ewa (10/5): Exceptional -
- Juan (10/5): first in 15 years I write a review. Carmelia was an excepcional host and The apartamento coundn’t be better. next to gre - EVERYTHING.
- Rimantas (10/5): Exceptional -
- David (8/5): Stylish and spacious in central Catania - Beautifully renovated and very spacious apartment in the centre of Catania. Looks amazing and has modern kitchen and bathroom. Air conditioning worked very well. There was a helpful guidebook to the sites of Catania and the owners were polite and friendly despite difficulties letting us in. The apartment is huge with not much furniture - possibly too big for just a couple or two people - and the beds were on the firm side.
The second bedroom is far away from the one bathroom.
We had issues getting in because the smart lock didn’t work remotely so waited outside for 40 minutes for someone to arrive. Perhaps having a lockbox on site would solve this issue if it reoccurs.
The apartment is close to bars and restaurants which you can hear at night - certainly on the Saturday we stayed.
- Judy (8/5): beautiful apartment right next to via Etna - very spacious and beautifully decorated
location very close to via Etna be very careful when you enter location in google ( if you’re driving ) - address on booking.com was inconsistent with the location of the apartment - was actually a 30min drive away. so make sure you contact property prior to your stay and ask them for further address instructions
ancient elevator not working so have to lug luggage up one floor
apartment situated above rowdy restaurant and expect a bit of noise in master bedroom
- Leow (10/5): It was comfortable, beautiful and convenient. We wished we have stayed longer. Highly recommended! - It was tastefully decorated, comfortable, spacious and well-equipped. It was designed for ease of use as well. The central location is superb, well-connected by buses to airport and train station, and it’s on the next street of Via Etnea. Our host was super responsive, kind and gave us a very warm welcome. The flight of stairs as the property is located on Level 1. If we were travelling without heavy luggage, it wouldn’t be a problem at all.
- Eyal (9/5): Superb - Very nice host and hospitality.
- Mara (10/5): Exceptional -
- Agnieszka (10/5): Exceptional - The flat is located in the centre of Catania, near the Duomo. An additional advantage is the excellent transport location. After leaving the flat, in 7 minutes you will reach the metro station. Approaching the station there is an ALIBUS station to the airport. In a shop nearby you can buy a ticket for 4 euros or buy it from the bus driver. The flat is located 1 minute from the well rated Al Vicolo Pizza& Vino and Trattoria Da Nuccio.
The flat consists of a living room, 2 bedrooms, kitchen and bathroom. It has been completely renovated. Decorated in a modern rustic style with beautiful ceilings. The rooms have large windows making it bright everywhere. The kitchen is modern and well equipped with a fridge, dishwasher, induction hob, oven and kettle and coffee maker. There is also a large bathroom with two basins, a bidet and a large walk-in shower.
The owners speak English and are very welcoming and helpful. Highly recommended!
