We loved our stay at Danilo’s place. We were in Catania for a week to visit friends and could not have wished for a better apartment. The location is perfect, on the best part of via Etnea, it is also just above two of the best Pasticceria: Spinella and Bar Savia, so perfect for breakfast. It overlooks Bellini Gardens, is one block from excellent outdoor markets, with supermarkets nearby too, if you need to collect supplies (the kitchen is very well stocked for everything you need, including espresso machine). We however spent most of our time eating out, as the trattorie and bars in a 5-10 minute walking radius are all excellent.

The apartment is perfectly appointed, and the hosts really have given a great deal of attention to details that enhance a quality of life . It was true to description as per amenity, function, and cleanliness. We really enjoyed staying here because it had a great ambience, and an elegant, sophisticated , thoughtful design, representative of the best of contemporary Sicilian aesthetics and quality. The air conditioning throughout was incredibly effective, and we also used the blinds and curtains to keep the house cool during the day and night in mid-summer. We really appreciated too the fact there were fly screens on doors and windows, and the evening breezes could be enjoyed, both inside after a hot day as well as on the verdant roof terrace with views of Mt Etna.
Danilo and Nico really are the perfect hosts - gracious, warm, welcoming, attentive and responsive every hour of the day. We loved this place and will be back!
