Guest Reviews
- Alberto (9/5): -
- Anna (8/5): Mimo niedogodności polecam - Apartament czysty i dobrze wyposażony, bardzo miła i kontaktowa właścicielka, która doradzała i pomagała we wszystkim. Począwszy od wycieczki skończywszy na knajpach gdzie można dobrze zjeść. Apartament w samym centrum, więc było wszędzie blisko. Remont podczas pobytu w środku kamienicy. Nad ranem ok 5.00 słychać tłukące się butelki, które zabiera śmieciarka. Apartament jest w centrum, więc słychać uliczne życie i muzykę co przeszkadza w spaniu.
- Maria Suizu (10/5): Beautiful and well located appartment. - The apartment is beautiful, the view to the other buildings and to the Piazza, the decoration, everything pretty, functional and clean. Giusy, the host, was amazing, she even helped us to find a parking place, she was just great!
- Christiane (10/5): -
- Bernadett (10/5): Szívből ajánlom - A lakás kifogástalan volt minden szempontból. A felszereltsége is nagyon jó, külön köszönet hogy van vasaló és hajszárító. Ezek általában már nem férnek be a csomagunkba. 🙂
A házigazda pedig egy tünemény. Nem volt ilyen.
- Ulrike (10/5): Ein phantastischer Aufenthalt in Catania. - Lage ausgezeichnet.
Hervorragende Betten.
Eine wunderbare Gastgeberin.
- GUY (10/5): Séjour de rêve et emplacement idéal au centre de Catane - Avant tout l’extrême gentillesse et la serviabilité de notre hôtesse Giusy qui nous a organisé une journée de rêve pour visiter l’Etna,Isolabella et Taormine en voiture privée et des explications en Français.
Elle nous a aussi bien conseillé de ne pas louer de voiture à Catane et à pris pour nous des billets pour rentrer de Syracuse à Catane car nous n’avions pas réussi à le faire online.Elle nous a aussi envoyé Gaetano pour nous accueillir à notre arrivée le 25 ( jour férié) et nous accompagner à l’aéroport où nous avions loué une voiture pour la suite de notre périple. Tout était parfait pour nous
- Adrian (10/5): - Alles pico bello – gerne wieder!
Was für ein toller Aufenthalt! Die Wohnung liegt super zentral, mitten im Stadtzentrum – besser geht es kaum. Alles war pico bello sauber und top gepflegt, man hat sich sofort wohlgefühlt.
Besonders hervorheben möchten wir die sehr nette und herzliche Gastgeberin! Sie hat uns mit vielen tollen Tipps und Hinweisen versorgt – welche Sehenswürdigkeiten man sich unbedingt ansehen sollte und wo man gut essen gehen kann. Das hat unseren Aufenthalt noch einmal besonders gemacht und uns geholfen, die Stadt richtig zu genießen.
Hier hat einfach alles gestimmt – die perfekte Lage, die saubere und schöne Wohnung und vor allem die wunderbare Betreuung durch die Gastgeberin. Es war rundum top!
Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder! 😊 Alles Top
- sylvie (10/5): - Un appartement vraiment très joli très bien décoré. Il est en plein centre, parfait pour visiter Catane. Le parking payant mais très correct est a 200m.
Et que dire de l accueil de Giusy....adorable. Bref on peut y aller les yeux fermés.
On a adoré C est juste une information. Les escaliers sont très raides et difficiles pour quelq un qui aurait des difficultés a monter les marches
- Jean-Marc (10/5): Séjour exceptionnel à Catane - Être au cœur historique de Catane.
Une hôtesse absolument charmante, serviable.
Un appartement moderne avec une literie agréable. Avec l'efficacité des bouchons d'oreille, tous les bruits extérieurs ont disparu.
- JACQUELINE (10/5): - La ubicacion y el apartamento estupendos. Se encuentra en pleno centro de Catania con todas las comodidades. No le faltaba detalle ninguna y Giusy, la anfitriona un cielo, pendiente en todo momento de nosotros. Nos recomendo tanto restaurantes como lugares de interés para visitar. Lo recomendamos 100%.
- Genkova (10/5): - Всичко беше прекрасно!
Апартаментът е на много удобно място, близо до всички забележителности, множество заведения и транспорт.
Джуси е невероятна! Изключителна жена и страхотен домакин!
Непременно ще я потърсим отново!
- Francesco (10/5): Posizione ottima. Lieta accoglienza. Grazie! - Una straripante accoglienza di Giusi e Gaetano colma di buone indicazioni. La posizione dell'alloggio è centralissima e i tour indicati per visitare Etna Taormina e tanti altri bei posti partono praticamente da sotto all'appartamento. L'appartamento è appena ristrutturato con gusto ed ha 2 ampie camere matrimoniali ognuna con tv. È stato piacevole il soggiorno e ci è stato reso tutto molto semplice. Torneremo di certo a continuare a visitare la bella Sicilia. Grazie!
- Doris (10/5): Jederzeit wieder! - Die Unterkunft liegt sehr zentral und Giusy ist eine hervorragende, sehr zuvorkommende Gastgeberin. Sie ist stets bemüht um das Wohl ihrer Gäste und hat stets Tipps für Restaurants und Unternehmungen - absolute Herzensempfehlung. Im lebendigen Zentrum Catanias, man hört manchmal auch nachts Musik und das rege Treiben - tut dem Aufenthalt aber keinen Abbruch.
- StevenZhu229 (10/5): Fabulous host and wonderful experience - Fabulous apartment in the centre of Catania old town, close to everything. Guisy the host is the best host we have met in our whole trip, passionate and thoughtful. Anything you potentially need, she will prepare it. The restaurants she recommended are local and delicious. Wonderful experience!
By the way, the bed is so comfortable and we had the best sleep during our trip. The building is old, but that's ok. it is like living in history, while the room is modern and spotlessly clean
- Branko (10/5): Amazing hosts and amazing city centre apartment - First, I want to start with saying that these are amazing hosts! I felt like I had caring family in Catania, who was there 24/7 if we need anything. Giusy and her family are amazing hosts who will make your visit to Catania unforgettable! This place is amazing, everything in the apartment was as explained, the location is amazing as you are next to the most important pedestrian street in Catania. Beds are comfortable and this place is definitely value for money! We are definitely thinking of coming here again! Nothing
- Andreaariasval (10/5): Espectacular - Increíble apartamento en mitad del centro de Catania. Habitaciones amplias, modernas y muy limpio. La entrada está deteriorada pero como la mayoría de edificios, no sé puede tener en cuenta. La anfitriona fue muy atenta, nos recomendó sitios para desayunar y comer y fue todo un acierto. Lo recomendaría 100 y repetiría si vuelvo.
- Brigitte (10/5): Parfait - Tout était parfait l appartement est irréprochable . clair.. très propre. la literie est impeccable et confortable.
Idéalement situé .....merci à Giusy pour son chaleureux accueil.. pour son sourire et sa gentillesse.. merci pour tous les bons conseils
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour ...
- Colin (10/5): - Excellent location, extremely gracious and kind host, a beautiful view of the University and the square. Very clean, had everything we needed for our stay
- Roman (10/5): -
- Markus (10/5): - Sehr schön, sauber Wohnung, gute Lage im Zentrum von Catania.
Sehr nette und freundliche Vermieterin, Sie gab uns Tipps für gute Restaurants und Ausflugsziele.
- AldonaSzczecin (10/5): - Świetna lokalizacja, CZYŚCIUTKO, bardzo dobry kontakt z właścicielką. Bardzo wygodne materace i prawdziwe kołdry. Perfecto, polecam.
- Matilde (10/5): Magica Catania! - Non posso che iniziare col fare i complimenti a Giusy che ci ha coccolati già prima di arrivare con la sua disponibilità, cortesia, nel darci preziose indicazioni su come raggiungere l’appartamento, cosa vedere e dove mangiare. Ci ha accolti con dolcini e altro ancora. Appartamento pulitissimo, centrale.
Dal balcone si osserva piazza Università, una delle più belle di Catania, e si ascoltano musicisti suonare…. Un incanto.… “a presto”
- Darko (10/5): Definitely the best option for families! And you can see Etna just around the corner! - We were delighted to stay at such a special place, in one of the oldest buildings in town, by the main two squares! It’s amazing cause as soon as you go out to the street you are in a beautiful atmosphere of Catania’s city center! We had an amazing host, very welcoming and helpful. The apartment is perfectly clean and very well equipped. It’s so spacious and fully renovated, so you can really feel like at home!
- Jacek (10/5): SUPER , POLECAMY !!!!!! - Mieszkanie jest w rewelacyjnej lokalizacji, w centrum Katanii. Jest bardzo czyste, bardzo bezpieczne, świeżo po remoncie, łóżka są bardzo wygodne. Kuchnia w pełni wyposażona, jest balkon. Po prostu jest wszystko. Bardzo dziękujemy gospodarzom, którzy są bardzo pomocni. Polecamy i dziękujemy ❤️.
- Sophie (9/5): - Die Unterkunft war wirklich super und sehr zentral. Von der Unterkunft waren alle Sehenswürdigkeiten fußläufig erreichbar. Die Gastgeberin war wirklich sehr zuvorkommend und hat einem direkt viele Tipps für Orte und Restaurants gegeben. Und zum Schluss haben wir sogar noch ein Abschiedsgeschenk bekommen:) das Preis- / Leistungsverhältnis ist wirklich top. Wir können die Unterkunft nur empfehlen.
- Joost (9/5): -
- Sue Ellen Attard (10/5): Highly recommended. - The location was excellent, we were literally next to the piazza close to shopping, Christmas markets and restaurant. The host was very welcoming and helpful and she provided us with assistance to carry up our luggage and made recommendations to good restaurants and places to visit.
- Ozlem (10/5): Best place to stay in Catania Old Town - The excellence of a place not only depends on its decoration and location but also the owner. Guisy could be the best owner in Catania. She is very helpful, caring, gives the best tips about places to eat, see, visit. The apartment was immaculately clean and exactly same with the photos. It would give 100/10 to this place because of her. Don’t think twice, just book this lovely apartment. Nothing
- Tania (10/5): Fabulous find in the heart of Catania - Giusy is one of the best hosts we've encountered in our travels.
From the start of our booking, her communication, restaurant and travel tips were fantastic, not only offering recommendations on what to do in Catania, but also in other towns around Sicily. Her energy and passion for the area is contagious.
We parked 10 minutes away and walked to the apartment. Giusy met us and helped with our bags.
The apartment is modern and beautifully presented with a nice balcony. The bed was super comfortable.
The singing we could hear from the main square was a wonderful experience. There's so much to explore, I only wish we could have stayed longer than two nights!
The apartment is fantastic value for money. We will definitely return if we come back to Sicily and climb or mountain bike Mt Etna next time!!
Thank you again Giusy, it was an absolute pleasure to meet you and your lovely family.
- JUSTYNA (10/5): Lovely, cosy apartment in the heart od Catania! - Location of the apartment is perfect. very, very, very helpful host 😍 The apartment was clean and well-equiped. The beds were very comfortable. Two bedrooms, a kitchen, and a bathroom with a toilet—everything which you need is hire. We stayed there for five days with friends and will definitely be back! We highly recommend it!
Thank you Giusy for all advices 🙂 see you soon. -
