Casa Diamante was my home during a 3wk business trip in San Giovanni La Punta. It is the bottom floor of a 3-level apartment, all owned/operated by Isabella. It is very well remodeled with modern windows, and stylish décor. The climate-control system worked well, and it was always comfortable inside the apartment. The windows are dual-pane and well insulating for sound and temperature.
Isabella is a great host! During my stay, I requested a few additional items for the apartment, and she provided those very quickly. She responds to questions right away. Additionally, when I arrived on the first day, I found a nice chocolate cake and bottle of wine waiting for me! How nice, 2 of my favorite things!
The two bedrooms are roomy and comfortable. The desk in the 2nd bedroom is very convenient for business travelers (laptop desk). The couch converts into a twin-size bed, if needed.
The kitchen has a good size refrigerator, a gas stove, and an oven. These all work well for my purposes of making coffee and re-heating food. I did not cook any dinners.
The living room has a very comfortable couch and smart TV (access your Netflix..), and I really liked the added touch of a comfy, soft, white blanket to get cozy with at the end of a working day. (the main bedroom has a TV, too, but I do not watch TV in bed)
There is a laundry area right outside the bathroom with a washing machine which I used every few days to wash my clothes, then dry them on the drying rack which is also provided, and ironed them with the iron and ironing board. Very convenient for long-term stays!
The apartment is located in the downtown area, on a small, one-way street. There is less traffic on this street, and it is easy to find parking somewhere close to the apartment.
Some of the other reviews mentioned barking dogs in the neighborhood. There are a lot of other houses and apartments close together on this street, and there is a low level of noise from all of this. I found the sound insulation good when the windows and blinds are closed. I had no trouble sleeping at night.
There are good restaurants within easy walking distance of this apartment. I visited Giardini Di Bacco (fine dining), Grano (stylish, casual dining), and Pizzeria La Rosa (quick food). They were all good.
I was 3 weeks in SG La Punta, far from my home in California, and I was very comfortable and happy to call Casa Diamante my ‘home away from home’ while in Sicily.
