Simona’s place is located on the top floor of a high-rise building in the heart of Catania.
We loved that it was right next to many cool and fancy restaurant places that were also relatively inexpensive, and we could try a couple of them out.
Her luxury apartment includes access to the roof terrace which gives an amazing view of the city and is a great place to relax on a sunny day or watch the stars at night. And although the area is very busy at some times it is not loud at all up there but gives a very nice and cozy atmosphere.
The check-in was very easy as you will get the keys via a passcode sent to you by Simona who communicated very well and always responded to our questions very quickly.
The apartment was very clean upon our arrival and all the kitchen equipment and amenities were in perfect shape. The design is very chic and tasteful and the light design in the bedroom is a real eyecatcher.
Simona has thought through almost everything and seems to be very professional and organized. Like for example that she sends an introduction video showing you how to check in and how the lift works, the first aid kit or the high-quality vacuum cleaner.
One thing to note is that there is no bathroom door, so you should be very comfortable with the person you are staying with but since there is a longer hallway leading up to the bathroom, we made it work. Also, there are a lot of windows in the bathroom and next to the shower so make sure you are comfortable with that.
The ceilings in the bathroom are a bit low. We are around 180 cm and it was fine but just one thing to keep in mind when you are extremely tall.
The only two things that could be improved is that the light in the bedroom is very dark which made looking through our suitcases a bit difficult and that we had to put the sheets on upon arrival but we wouldn´t remove any stars because of that.
So, in total this place is really a 5 out of 5 and we probably would give more stars if we could.
In conclusion, we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to anyone looking to enjoy a luxurious stay in Catania. We enjoyed the place so much that we even extended one night and if we ever came back to Catania we would stay here again.
