Guest Reviews
- Guest (10/5): Little gem in Catania - Perfect location - walking distance to a secure parking place, close to city center and tourist attractions.
Andrea has been amazing with providing us details on how to get around, where to park, restaurant suggestions etc - we even found some delicious cannoli in the room.
We will definitely stay again in our next trip to Catania !! N/a
- Mary (10/5): A clean, comfortable apartment, close to Catania's restaurants and main attractions. - Firstly, the hosts, Andrea and Francesca were terrific. They contacted us before our visit, gave us recommendations for restaurants, places to visit etc. and then met us at the door upon entry to the apartment. They gave us beautiful complementary cannoli upon arrival and showed us around the communal kitchen area (which has complementary coffee). The apartment met our needs very well (comfortable, clean) and was very close to the main attractions of Catania, including restaurants. The apartment was a couple of stories high with no lift and you do have to go through a communal part of the building to get to your rooms; however, it was safe enough as all entry points were locked and access was only given to those using the apartments.
- Kriszta (10/5): -
- stefano (10/5): - Staff gentilissimo, accogliente ed attento a tutte le esigenze degli ospiti
- Guest (10/5): A remarkable good stay. - We wanted to stay in the area of Piazza Borsellino, as it's in the vibrating part of Catania.
We selected Nerina because of it's nearby location and that it looked nice on the pictures.
I must say that the pictures was correct, and we had a very pleasant stay at Nerina.
Extra plus to the host, Andrea, who was very kind and helpful to recommend good authentic restaurants, as well as a good taxi price. If I will go to Catania again, I will stay at Nerina.
- Sandro (10/5): -

- Brittany (10/5): Exceptional - Andrea was really friendly and helpful. Made check in and our trip really easy. He gave us plenty of recommendations for restaurants in both Catania and the next place we were visiting. He also gave us a lift to the station the day we checked out because it was raining.
The bed was comfortable and there was good coffee for guests
- Rubi (10/5): We really loved the accomodation. Location was excellent. The host Andrew went above and beyond to make our stay perfect - Everything was new and clean. The property was located in an excellent location.
The bed was super comfy. The toilet had a funny smell which impacted the whole room. We had to open the windows a few times to make it go away.
- Shane (10/5): Exceptional -
- Andrew (10/5): Exceptional - Host Andrea was very responsive and an excellent communicator and very knowledgeable about how to enjoy the wonderful city of Catania. His apartment is in a superb location very close to the main Corso, cathedrals and fish market. He has done an incredible job on the interior renovation of the apartment... First class all the way. Really great visit. Thanks again Andrea!
- Allison (10/5): We had an amazing time at Nerina, Andrea was a fantastic help he gave us so many fabulous tips about where to go and wha - Fantastic location, very friendly team, great service.

- Lavonca (9/5): Great hospitality from the host, cute room, and great location in Catania! - Great stay. The host of this apartment was amazing!! Great customer service and hospitality. They were so helpful with anything and everything and checked in on us frequently via whatsapp. The room was small-medium sized but spacious enough. Bathroom was nice and had plenty of hot water! It was a cute setup and the little kitchen area was also cute. Location was prime!!! Able to walk most places we wanted to go, and easy to get to the airport via bus from this location. Would definitely recommend staying here. There were a few small ants in the bathroom, building was probably just due for another treatment.
- Syna (10/5): Amazing stay with an amazing host - The property is right in the centre, very convenient for seeing Catania, walking distance to most sights, restaurants and bars at the same time very quiet. We did not hear any noise during our stay. The property is recently renovated and feels like brand new. The room we booked was massive with the jacuzzi room being the size of a hotel room on its own. The host was ever so friendly giving us a lot of recommendations, restaurants, bars, parking facilities 5 mins walk at a very good rate of €6 for 24 hours. Kitchen facilities with coffee and tea readily available at no extra charge. Out of our stay of 7 days all over Sicily, Nerina had the most welcoming host of them all. Would stay here again when visiting Catania. We loved everything at this property.
- Valerie (10/5): A nice place to explore Catania - Well located downtown. Quiet, clean, modern renovations. Host is present to welcome you and will gladly provide his best recommendations around. We will even make reservations for you. Easy check-in/out, large room. It was perfect
- Abdullah (10/5): Exceptional -
- Bonini (10/5): Exceptional - Brand new facility finished to an excellent quality. The bed sheets, pillows & mattress were great. The owners have really invested in these rooms. Oh & the blinds will black the room out - enjoy a late night out & sleep forever. The AC is brand new & quiet too
The location is fantastic. One caution. The apartments are on a side street off the main square. They are in a multi use building. It's Catania. It's not a five star entrance! It's authentic. There's something cool about going to a hole in the wall then walking into a five star room.
I'm a regular in Catania from Malta. Ribella is my first call "cos she's a friend. Nerina has the objective edge. Nothing.
- Sarah (10/5): Great host and perfect location. - The location was perfect - central to everything but in a quiet street - I slept really well.
The room was beautiful - modern and spacious. The bed was super comfortable.
The best part was Andrea who picked me up from the airport when my flight was delayed and I arrived late.
He also messaged me with recommendations throughout my stay. Nothing. I would stay there again.
- Mohamed (10/5): Exceptional - Location to the center (literally 30 seconds walk)
- Jenny (10/5): Exceptional - Newly renovated property that had large, stylish room with a very large shower. It also had a shared kitchen with access to tea and coffee. The host was very attentive and friendly in responding to questions and providing local food recommendations. It is located very close to all the main attractions and walking distance to one of the main bus terminals. nothing
