The location was perfect. Diego was the perfect Host. he helped to make sure we got there and carried our luggage up to the room and got us settled in. Everything was very clean and the place was peaceful and quiet, but just a few steps from the bustling city center. We would highly recommend choosing this place to stay while you are visiting catania.

Apollo Home was a lovely stay for our 4 nights in Catania. Easy access to the City center and all the food and nightlife. The home is very clean, updated and welcoming. The soundproof windows kept out the sounds of the lively neighborhood nearby and the AC was great. Diego is a friendly and accessible host. Our only note is that the listing says parking available but it’s about a 10 minute walk to a car park.

I am very happy you enjoyed your stay, that is exactly what I hope for every guest visiting Catania and Sicily. Regarding the parking information: unable to understand why the listing was unclear on this point, I contacted customer support. They explained that you need to click on the “Parking” section to open the description, which specifies that the parking area is just a few minutes' walk away. Otherwise, thank you for taking such good care of the apartment during your stay. Thanks again for choosing Apollo Home, you are always welcome back ☺️.

We couldn’t have been happier with our stay. The apartment was perfect for our needs and the location was within walking distance of all the sites. The apartment was perfectly clean and Diego could not have been a better host. We would stay there again without hesitation.

The perfect stay

Everything about this property was perfect for me. It was spacious and had every amenity. The location was incredible It allowed me to visit Taormina and Ortigia/Syracusa as day trips. Then gave me a relaxing home base where I could walk to the fish market, loads or restaurants, the theater, the shopping on Via Etnea, and see beautiful history everywhere… Diego was very accommodating and so kind. I can’t wait to go back.

Best location ever!

We loved our stay. The location is perfect -close the city center, the boisterous fish market is right around the corner, and many sites close by within walking distance. Many eateries near by as well.As for accommodations, they were great with a very comfortable bed, quiet location even though it is right around the corner from all the action. One thing to note, is you must take a very fast shower as the hot water runs out quickly (maybe 5 minutes). Would I stay there again? Absolutely!

Great place to stay in Catania

This is an absolutely perfect place to stay. The house/apartment is kept in perfect conditions. Super clean and looks like the pictures you see. I cooked two wonderful meals there. I was able to shop for local ingredients without much of a walk at all. This place is right near the castle and certainly directly in the heart of Catania. Diego, communicates perfectly, and helped me with parking and to understand the area. You can’t go wrong with this place.

Explore Catania with Apollo home

We had a wonderful stay for approximately 6 nights. From booking questions to the overall communication with the host to greeting us when we arrived. It couldn’t have went any smoother. If you are looking for a spacious, neat, clean, central location with access to everything this is the one! This home has everything you need for you to explore Catania! Thanks Diego- well done!

Perfect stay in Catania!

My husband and I stayed here on our honeymoon and we are so thankful we did! Diego was extremely communicative with us and answered all our questions throughout our stay. The apartment is in a wonderful location; easy to get to amazing restaurants, bars, and things to see and do in the area. Diego even arranged for a driver to come pick us up from the airport and transport us to/from Taormina. Grazie mille Diego!!

Loved house, location & support of property owner

This location is surrounded by great restaurants and nightlife. Our morning cappuccino (1.5 euros) was just steps away from our door. There is no easier way to get picked up for a tour or tell a driver where to take you home than being next to the Castello Ursino, a short block from our flat. Diego was kind enough to schedule a service to and from the airport and they were prompt. We want to stay here again!

Diego the owner is a fantastic guy and will do his utmost to help you. The flat is exceptionally clean and is located 10 min from the main square. All is within walk-in distance. If you are looking to discover Catania this is an ideal location to be based.
