Delightfully furnished, quiet and comfortable, in the historic center

The house is located on the second floor of a building that has only four houses, right in the historic center of the city. There is no elevator, but there is a comfortable lift for your luggage. You will find everything that you need, in a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere, attention to detail. The bedroom is very large with a double bed, a closet, a dresser and a large work area with an antiq

It is located in the centre of the city. It is very well equipped. I would recommend it highly. It would be useful to have instructions on how to operate the washing machine as it is quite different from North American equipment.

Perfect location for exploring Catania
Danilo’s apartment was in the perfect location for exploring Catania. It is a few minutes walk from the Fontana dell’ Elefante and the main shopping district plus a short distance by foot to the market, museum and many trattorias and bars. The apartment was very quiet, clean and well appointed with a large bathroom and walk-in shower. Thank you Danilo we hope to return to your wonderful city soon!

A true gem
The apartment was absolutely what we were hoping to find when we arrived. Danilo was welcoming and informative and his recommendations were spot on! Our accommodation was clean and comfortable and we were only two minutes from the centre of the action - all the restaurants, bars, the fish and fruit and vegetable markets and necessary shops. Also,only five minutes from the cathedral and main square and many other points of interest. We couldn’t get over how quiet the apartment is but yet so close to all the hustle and bustle. Do try and catch a tour of the opera house, Teatro Vincenzo Bellini, it’s amazing!

What a Gem!
This apartment is even nicer than the photos. All the rooms are large, comfortable and very nicely decorated. The kitchen has modern appliances and everything you could possibly need to prepare meals. The owners even left us delicious pastry as a welcome gift. We stayed once for 2 weeks, then returned for another 2 weeks later because we enjoyed it so much. The bedroom has a very comfortable queen bed, a door opening onto a Juliet balcony and a huge closet. The living room has very comfortable furniture and 2 doors that open onto balconies. The location is perfect. On a quiet side street but within 2 short blocks of the markets, restaurants and shops. The owners, Rosanna and Danilo, were extremely kind. They helped us with booking tours, gave good advice about the sights and restaurants and even helped retrieve my lost luggage from the airport. I would highly recommend this apartment, as it was perfect for us, and would love to return in the future. Thank you Rosanna and Danilo for an excellent vacation in your lovely apartment!

Great location, clean well appointed apartment.
The apartment is well appointed, and clean. Water, wine, jams and biscuits to get you started was much appreciated. Communication with Danilo was very quick and helpful. We rented a car and generally found it easy to park around the property. The location is in the heart of the market and restaurants so lots of graffiti and trash but looking beyond and you'll find live music in open air squares, and local Hangouts with books for the choosing. A short walk to via Etena and so many sites.

Absolutely Wonderful
Danilo checked us in the shortly after we landed in Catania, and he was extremely helpful the entire trip. He helped us find places to eat and even booked a tour for us up to Mt. Etna. The house was just as shown, and some parts were even nicer. It was an incredible place to stay with a perfect location, and we would definitely stay there again.

Lovely apartment, wonderful location, delightful host
As first-time visitors to Sicily, we chose Catania as our first port of call simply for the convenience of the airport and fight schedules. Thanks to this lovely apartment, and the warm, engaging personality of Rosanna who met us upon arrival, we fell in love with this under-appreciated, vibrant city. Others have mentioned the fabulous location of the apartment, right in the historic heart of Catania just steps from the famous fish market (not to mention vegetable, fruit, meat, cheese, bread and herb vendors) and the Piazza del Duomo with its famed Elephant Fountain. It's also just a few minutes' walk to landmarks like the Castello Ursino, Teatro Massimo Bellini, and the prime commercial street of Via Etnea, that runs straight up into the foothills of Mount Etna which hovers above the city like a mirage. You can walk everywhere from this apartment, and we did. The photos don't do the apartment justice. It's surprisingly spacious, painted in warm gold, terracotta and sage, with gorgeous vaulted ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows in each room, opening to Juliette balconies. The eat-in kitchen is equipped with everything you need to prepare, cook and serve food -- including a wide range of condiments, olive oil, tea and coffee, even pasta. The bottle of good local wine waiting to welcome us was much appreciated! Of the countless bars and restaurants in the vicinity, we enthusiastically endorse Rosanna's recommendation: try Da Antonio Trattoria. They dish up wonderful food at reasonable prices - again, just steps from the apartment. This review wouldn't be complete without a renewed accolade for Rosanna. She's fluent in English (a native Sicilian as well as expat American), personable, knowledgeable, and hands-on if needed.. When the water in the entire apartment building unaccountably turned off early one morning, Rosanna responded to our message instantly and everything was fixed in short order. Highly recommended, with thanks!

Cozy clean apartment near everything
We enjoyed our stay in a cozy apartment for two. Rosaria and her son-in-law Danilo, welcomed us with a bottle of wine. The apartment has all conveniences, and merely two blocks from the fish market so we could buy our dinners to cook. Though the outside of the building looks scruffy the inside was just fine. Rosaria and Danilo offered suggestions and information. At one point in our stay the clothes washer didn’t work. In spite of a family medical issue Rosaria came that day and fixed it. Very attentive!

Großartiger Urlaub in Catania
Die Wohnung ist sehr zu empfehlen. Sie ist geräumig, sauber und gut ausgestattet. Ihre Lage in der Altstadt ermöglicht es, alle Sehenswürdigkeiten der Stadt zu Fuß zu erreichen. Ebenso sind Bahnhof und Bushaltestellen nur wenige Minuten entfernt, so dass die sehr guten Möglichkeiten, Messina, Toarmina, Syrakus oder Noto mit öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln zu erreichen, ohne großen Aufwand genutzt werden können. Uns schwebt ein erneuter Besuch von Catania vor, wofür wir wieder diese Wohnung mieten würden. Familie Simon aus Dresden
