Catania City Centre vacation rentals

Cozy apartment conveniently located to the center of Catania. You are a one minute walk to Castello Ursino and a five minute walk to Catania's central fish market. There are plenty of excellent restaurants and cafes located within easy walking distance of the apartment. It was very clean and comfortable. Diego was an outstanding host who was always available. He answered all our questions and arranged for our taxi transportation from and return to the airport. We had an enjoyable and a memorable experience.

Wonderful apartment. Host was tremendously gracious. Picked us up at airport and provided us with a map and identified all key tourist sites. Apartment is a few blocks from main plazas, large open air market, etc in the heart of old Catania. Easy to walk the neighborhoods or use taxis and trains to get around. Don’t recommend a rental car. Parking is too limited in crowded in the old city. The apartment was clean and had all the amenities for an extended stay. If you want to experience the local population, this is one way to do it! 5 stars for Sure.

We were met by Salvo for the checkin process and he was great to explain the apartment and things to do in the area. There are a lot of steps to climb, but the view is worth it. The apartment was clean and everything worked properly. We got a few loads of laundry done, but the view was what we enjoyed the most. Parking was ok, as there was a lot nearby that was free and we were able to find a place to park each time.

If there is a case where saying “don’t judge the book by its cover” then this place in Catania is perfect example. The area does appear a little rundown but the apartment inside was all new and shining. The location is very convenient as you can reach city center, most of the attractions and Central Railway station in 10 to 15 minutes’ walk. Very clean and convenient layout, nice size bedroom with king size bed and full bathroom. The second bathroom is located off the kitchen are and both have new fixtures which all work just fine. Nice size living/dining room and small but well-equipped kitchen to be sufficient for all but very elaborate dinner preparations. Really appreciated the fact that some basic supplies, such sugar, coffee, salt, water, etc. were provided as it was nice not to rush out to look for food after long travel from US. Checking in and out was well documented and we had no problem with that, and host provided us with a lot of information and suggestions on local area and was quick and responsive to our questions It was a perfect base for exploring Catania and region and definitely we will recommend it

The owners of this property, Maria & Lorenzo were very accommodating and beautiful people and helped us with our wonderful Sicilian vacation. First, they met us at the airport and drove us to to property. They even accommodated one of our family members with parking a rental car, since parking is a bit difficult in this area. The apartment was very clean and upgraded, however, according to US interpretation, this is really only a 2 bedroom with a fold out couch in the living room. One of the bathrooms is located outside of the apartment which is a bit slippery to access when it rains. The washing machine worked perfectly but no clothes dryer is available so we did it the Italian way and hung our clothes on a clothes line. The appliances are new and all worked very well but no microwave or toaster oven is available. The apartment is about a minute walk across the parking lot from a really nice grocery store and not that far from many beautiful sights Catania is known for. I rated the location a bit harsh because the location could be considered a bit sketchy because it is pretty dark at night and activity and view from the balcony is questionable. Daytime felt very safe and evening strolls felt safe in a group. Even though we did not have all the creatures of comfort we are so accustom to, we were able to find ways to adapt to the very normal Italian way of life. Overall, it was a very lovely stay and our family would definitely stay again.

Perfect location to explore historic Catania, all things needed in easy distance. On top floor of walk up so may be a challenge for some, just as a message.

Excellent apartment! It had everything we needed and more. Definitely would stay here again.
