Marco was a wonderful host, and the apartment was exactly what we were looking for. It was clean, comfortable, and in an excellent location—just a short walk to the fish market, great restaurants, shopping, and many of Catania’s main attractions. Everything was easily accessible on foot, which made exploring the city so enjoyable. I would happily stay here again and highly recommend it!!

The apartment hosted my Marco and Faustus was exactly as advertised and a beautiful space right in the heart of Catania. They were gracious hosts and made the check-in and our process a breeze, and checked in on us throughout our stay to see if we needed anything.The location was great for what we had planned for our visit and also just a 10 minute walk from the train station. We highly recommend this for your Catania getaway!

Great spot, easy walk from the train station, close to the scenic spots and dozens of restaurants. Stroll over to Via Etnea and enjoy the sights! Marco was kind enough to arrange an early morning taxi to the airport.

Marco and Fausto were detailed in explaining their immaculately clean apartment that had every amenity we needed. In addition to their warm hospitality they shared websites regarding sites not miss in Catania the best of which may have been Lido Beach!Restaurants were recommended within walking distance and were delicious. Mini markets nearby in case we wanted wine, beer or snacks and sundries. We hated leaving this gloriously air conditioned fabulous place and hope to return very soon!
