My dad and I went on a Father-Daughter trip to Italy. One of our stops was in Catania from September 10-14th 2025. We received a very pleasant welcome from Riccardo (the host). The apartment is clean, well maintained and as pictured. Riccardo gave us suggestions regarding street parking and restaurants. Thank you so much! Kristina
Nous avons beaucoup apprécié l’accueil de Ricardo. L’appartement est grand et très bien équipé. De plus il est bien situé par rapport aux attractions de la ville.
