Lovely Apartment

This was a lovely apartment exactly as seen in the pictures. Location over the Piazza did not cause too much noise with the bedroom in the back area. Good location as far as walking distance to sightseeing and restaurants, we felt safe and comfortable in the immediate area. My only caution would be the two flights of stairs for someone with limited mobility, however, the house keeper was available to help us get our bags upstairs when we arrived.

Bellini Apartment Catania

The apartment was well designed and nicely decorated. it was clean upon arrival. The neighborhood was not what I was expecting. The Bellini theater was in the same piazza which drew in many people who wished to see a show. The Piazza was also filled with restaurants and cafe. The streets were walkable. no parking onsite, but the host was able to direct us to a parking lot very close. The host was very accommodating, and communication with Grazia was very good. Overall we had a good time.

Teatro Bellini centre

Great location for a 3 night stay. Located in the classical square of Teatro Bellini surrounded with numerous cafes, it felt grand! Our apartment was very spacious, clean, modern and comfortable. Our host Graziana was always available for any inquiries and was our personal concierge for restaurant suggestions and guided site seeing suggestions.

Catania

The apartment was very nice, comfortable, big and clean. The apartment is facing a piazza but with the bedroom in the back, it was quiet for sleeping. It is central and convenient to all dining options. Conversations with the host was easy and she was very responsive. We had a pleasant and comfortable stay.

From the very beginning this host communicated promptly and was extremely helpful. Gave me many suggestions for places to eat and even helped book a personal Chef for New Year Eve. He was wonderdul also and everything at this apartment made our experience in Catania perfect. Thanks again for everything. The bedroom is in the back of the apartment and was very quite. We will recommend to everyone that we know that travels to Italy. Thanks again!!

Absolutely beautiful roomy apartment. Very comfortable - even the pull-out sofa bed. Walking to our points of interest was easy and our tour to Etna was able to pick us up across the street. We all commented that we'd like a place just like this to call our own!

Absolutely Amazing

The location is great. The apartment is spacious (larger than any European apartment we have stayed in). Well appointed with all of the amenities we hoped for. It is actually better than we imagined. We had the opportunity to attend a recital at the Massimo theater across the piazza and it is magnificent. Our host is gracious and always ready to help. We highly recommend this apartment and wonderful host.

Great location

Place is in the middle of historic part of Catania. It’s noise and unfortunately loud music at night. We did not mind it as we were tired and air conditioning was coming the noise. Everything else was great.

Amazing experience!

We absolutely loved this place, it was stunning! Situated in the heart of Catania, with an incredible view of the Bellini theatre, as advertised. The hosts were incredibly helpful to us, especially in finding parking as we arrived on a very busy Saturday night. I can't imagine having done this without their help, they truly made us feel like family! The master bedroom is beautiful and the bed is extremely comfortable. The apartment has everything you would need -laundry, iron, umbrellas, and a fully functioning kitchen. Honestly a fantastic experience, we loved it! Grazie Graziana & Carlo!

A lovely stay

We enjoyed this property very much. We had only a couple of easy to fix issues. We were delayed at the airport, so the husband had to meet us and show us around due to our being late. As such, he didn't know all the answers to show us around, but we figured it out. Not an actual problem...and he was very sweet. The parking is challenging in the area. We would have appreciated a little more assistance with this...such as knowing Sundays are free for street parking. Overall a lovely property in a great walkable area. Comfortable and clean.

Clean and Spacious Apartment

The apartment is as described on the VRBO site. It is spacious, well-equipped and very clean. You have a lovely view of Teatro Bellini, and the piazza below has several cafes and restaurants. At first, I was worried it would be noisy, but that was not the case at all. The bedroom is in the back of the apartment and does not face the piazza. We heard no noise at night and had restful nights of sleep. That apartment is in an ideal location. You are within walking distance of the main attractions, and via Etna is a fun street to stroll down. Don't miss the Scirocco Sicilian Fish lab in the Fish Market area! The host and her housekeeper were excellent communicators. They get back to you immediately and are ready to answer any questions you have. The host checks in to see how things are going and offers advice on places to go. The housekeeper charges a reasonable fee for airport pick-up and drop-off. You are in good hands with this host and her housekeeper.
