Many thanks 🙏. We are so happy that you appreciated it.
We arrived early and Loris was helpful in allowing us to leave our luggage early so we could go an explore the city. Once we even got lost on foot and called him for directions back to our BnB.
Il magnifico is a well kept apartment in a great location close to the central station and the main sites of Catania. I highly recommend it. An extra bonus is the Gelateria Pellegrino which also serves pastries, tavola calda, and drinks, just one block away.

Thank you very much 🙏, we are really happy that you appreciate it.
The apartment was excellent. Very clean, had everything one could need. The host, Loris, was very responsive and it was easy to communicate with him. If we needed anything he immediately made sure we received it. Parking is available on the street, but it is not always easy to find, Unfortunately.
We enjoyed our stay and would certainly recommend the apartment.

Thank you so much for your feedback, we are so happy that you appreciate it ☺️! The city center during Christmas time it's pretty alive.
Thanks again 🙏
We enjoyed our stay at this apartment. The host was very helpful and met us to check in and was very personable. We would have liked a head’s up that the view outside of the terrace was different due to construction, as we were disappointed with it. Even though the area itself was a little gritty, the apartment felt safe and was clean. It would also be nice to have more than two towels for a three night stay. Other than that, the apartment was a great home base while we explored Sicily.

Many thanks for your great review, it was a pleasure to have you as guest ☺️
We are so sorry that you did not like the view but it reflects the one shown in the photos. We are in a district of the historic center with other buildings around.
We'll take into account your tips concerning the towels. Our three night towels set includes two large towels per person but we will add a thirdone.
We'll always do our best to improve our capacity for satisfying the guest's necessity.
Thanks again 🙏
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

Dear Mikhail 😀,
Thanks a lot for your feedback! We are really happy that you appreciate our effort and you liked the apartment.
It was really a pleasure.
Grazie 🙏
We had a lovely stay in Catania. The accommodation was located conveniently between the railway station and the historical centre. We enjoyed walking to see the park and the historic landmarks including the ruins of the Roman theatre. It was also easy to catch the train to Taormina and back in the one day. Our apartment was supplied with all we needed and the bed was very comfortable.

Thank you very much for your feedback 🙏, we are really happy that you appreciated your stay 😊.
Loris ist sehr zuvorkommend, die Wohnung richtig schön, fast wie Zuhause. Ätna, Syrakus etc. sind gut zu erreichen. Lediglich die Parkplatzsuche nit dem Mietwagen war etwas anstrengend.

Thanks a lot for your feedback, we are really happy that you appreciated our effort 🙏.
Regarding free parking on the street it depends on day 's hours because the historic center is very populated.
Thanks again ☺️
Wir genossen die Tage in der lebhaften Stadt Catania mit Stadtspaziergängen, Besichtigungen von Kirchen und Museumsbesuchen. Danach reisten wir per Bus weiter zur Talstation des Etna. Der kontaktlose Check-in klappte tadellos und der Gastgeber hielt Kontakt per what‘s up. Wir können diese Wohnung weiterempfehlen.

Der Buchungsvorgang, die Kommunikation, das Einchecken wie auch das Auschecken hat alles reibungslos funktioniert. Auf unseren Wunsch wurde die Gästezahl nachträglich nochmal erhöht, auch das kein Problem. Die eingestellten Fotos entsprechen den tatsächlichen Gegebenheiten. Die Wohnung wurde offensichtlich vor kurzem erst sehr schön renoviert und bietet viel Platz, auch für vier Personen. Die Lage ist perfekt und der Vermieter sehr zuvorkommend und hilfsbereit. Können wir unbedingt weiterempfehlen.
This is a beautiful apartment located in the historical center of Catania with plenty of great alternatives for sight seeing and delicious food. It's very easy to reach from the airport, there is a direct bus and the stop is a 2 min walk to the apartment. The apartment is roomy and comfortable, and it is impecable!!! The hosts are super friendly and made sure that we had everything we needed, they were always available when we had questions.
