Nice stay near the center of Catania

We spent one night in the house of Angelo upon our arrival and again two more at the end of our trip. Unfortunately we did not have the occasion to meet the owner, but we communicated with him through phone. The house has been recently equipped and is in excellent condition. However there are some minor problems that must be taken care of. There are not really three rooms, but more like three sleeping places which are very small. This can be a problem if people have different waking-up times. Also we found curious the absence of a microwave oven in an apartment with two washing machines. The appartement has almost no window, which may be good for keeping it cool during the summer time. On the positive side we must point out that the internet connection was super-fast and that the appartment is really near to the historical center of Catania. If you plan to come to Angelo's with a car (yours or rented) be advised that parking in the neighbouring streets is not at all easy: we felt as if we had won the lottery every time we managed to find a place to park.

Caro ospite in realtà ci siamo conosciuti, vi ho detto sono l host Roberta, vi ho anche tenuto le valigie per un paio di ore.Ti delucido alcuni punti:Ci sono tre camere da letto con due letti in ogni stanza, non capisco a cosa ti riferisci, comunque le foto parlano chiaro, non ci sono due lavatrici ma bensì una e un asciugatrice, il forno a microonde non c’è come nella descrizione dell annuncio. Ma comunque la casa è dotata di un forno tradizionale. Per quanto riguarda il parcheggio ci troviamo al centro storico della città ed anche un centro abitato, anzi in altre città è impossibile parcheggiare in centro storico, solo area pedonale.Comunque se mi avessi chiesto ti avrei consigliato dei parcheggi privati.Ti consiglio per una prossima volta di leggere bene le descrizioni degli alloggi.Saremo sempre lieti ad ospitarvi, Saluti

Superlativa

Struttura che rispecchia tutto ciò che è stato scritto sull’annuncio. Roberta è una persona molto attenta alla cura della casa e delle persone che devono soggiornare.attenta si particolari e ti fa sentire come se fossi a casa tua. Troppo bella la casa, non manca nulla, anche i giochi per i bambini che si sono divertiti un sacco. Se torniamo a Catania di sicuro ci ritorneremo.

Bien pensé, bien organisé

Dans l’ensemble, nous avons apprécié notre séjour à cet endroit malgré le fait que ce soit un peu sombre (pas beaucoup de fenêtres). Comme nous passions que la nuit et les fins de soirée, ça ne nous a pas ennuyés. Les snacks ont été appréciés. Ce qu'il faudrait mentionner, c'est que deux chambres sont communiquantes et l’autre en mezzanine ouverte, donc avis aux gens qui recherchent de l’intimité. Cela dit, la communication avec Angelo et Roberta a été excellente, rapide et efficace, de la réservation au départ. Merci!

APPARTAMENTO MOLTO BELLO

L’appartamento è posizionato in centro città in posizione strategica, molto pulito e curato. La proprietaria Roberta è stata estremamente disponibile e molto attenta a quelle che possono essere le prime necessità degli ospiti. Consigliatissimo
