This is such a beautiful and unique apartment to stay in Catania city centre. Only a stone's throw away from the main square and all the tourist attractions that Catania draws you in for. Marco was such a great communicator, making it very easy to arrange our arrival and welcome. We greatly appreciated his advice for our stay, a handy little book has been put together too so you don't have to commit all these details to memory.
The apartment itself is well equipped, though with the food that Catania has to offer there is little need to do much cooking unless you want to pop to a quaint and friendly pasta shop called 'Les Antiche Arti Della Pasta' just a few minute walk from the apartment to pick up some handmade ravioli for a quick dinner! The bed is pretty comfy, just be wary going up and down the stairs (it's clearly photographed so you should know what you're in for).
The bathroom is spacious and quite luxurious, honestly, my partner and I wanted to count how many ply the toilet tissue was, we were so impressed! The rooftop has an incredible view of Mount Etna, we were very lucky to see it so clearly on our stay, it was wonderful to have a drink up there and just stare into the distant and take in all the hubbub of the piazza.
The one and only critique is that the apartment is not soundproof. Due to the amazing and convenient location, there are a lot of restaurants and of course Ursino Castle which draws in tourists and locals. This means until the early hours of the morning it can get pretty noisy so if you're a light sleeper you should bring earplugs! Please don't let this put you off staying here. it is a great base to explore Catania and do some day trips to Aci Trezza/Castello and Taormina.
We had such a wonderful stay, and we'll miss all the amazing food that Catania has to offer. Thank you Marco and Giada.
