Since she did not stay at Casa D'aria because she was looking for a hotel with a restaurant and spa, we do not understand on the basis of what experience she expressed a judgment and above all how Expedia allowed her to do so.

A bit unique.
Location was good however probably better for a yonger guest. The bed is ina loft, stairway is steep and the side walls of the loft very low. Host was very nice however appartment style so not on property often. Be sureto call ahead and schedule check in. Parking is on the street, busy but we had no problem. There is a bar next door and had one evening that was loud.

Catania!.. we will return!
Casa D’Aria was centrally located. We were able to walk to Fontana dell’Elefante, Teatro Massimo Bellini, Piazza Carlo Alberto and a little farther to Villa Bellini to name a few. There were several restaurants, a few shops and a laundromat close by. The apartment was unique and had all the essentials. The bed was cozy and the linen were clean and soft. The hosts (Elena and D’Aria) were very helpful and friendly. They provided several recommendations on restaurants and sites to see while we were there. They even offered to arrange tours for us. We would definitely stay here again when returning to Catania.

Reception were very helpful and turned up quickly when we arrived early, and organized our taxi to the airport for an early flight the next day. However, the room smelt terrible, the air conditioner was not effective and the overhead shower did not work. There was loud music all night and we barely slept.

Dear Customer thank you for taking the time to write a review. With regards to the odor we are pleased to inform you that thanks to your review we have verified that the shower drain had been tampered with leaving the drain pipe uncovered which let out a bad smell. In the future we advise you to notify us during your stay, even if only for one night, to allow us to intervene immediately and resolve the problem. Regarding the other notes, we did not find what you said. The two air conditioners supplied with the apartment she occupied work perfectly and are brand new. Even the shower works and we don't understand why you have indicated a malfunction.

Room at the top of 62 steps.
To get to the 'room' you had to walk up 62 steps, which at night was a problem as the lights were on a timer and you could not always make it up to the top in light. The room was a high ceiling space which had been converted to a combined facility. The steps to the raised area were steep without handrails. There was a small kitchenette under the raised bed, which had basic cooking implements, hob top, fridge and small table top oven. We were concerned when using the hob top that it would set the surrounding area alight. The shower, toilet area was in a corner of this room. Very small balcony looking into the street area. There were no servicing in the time we were there. One positive ........ Hot water. There are a lot of restaurants in the area serving mostly excellent Italian food. The outside area, the city etc is full of litter and plastic. Also when you read the blurb it says there is a children's pool & spa. That's only for people staying in one particular room. Brought this to their attention & was told that they are hoping to make it available for other clients, not sure how as you would have to walk through someone's room. Personally thought the price was a complete rip off, though I was told I would have a better deal booking direct. Seriously not for anyone who has a walking, balance problem. Not sure how the other rooms where.

Dear Customer thanks for the review and the time taken to write it. When approached from the doorway on the street there is a light power button for entry, inside the stairwell there is another light power on. If during your stay he told the management of his problem we would have told her that she was climbing the stairs without turning on the light. Entrance and stairwell are different environments and therefore equipped with two different power on. Our staff is available for the whole day and is always available for any request, we do not understand what his comment on the lack of services refers to. We also do not understand why it should pass from someone's room since his apartment as well as all the others are with independent access; Did she have to go through someone else's apartment? This does not result to us The children's pool is located on the terrace and is for the exclusive use of the Luna apartment. You have been told that our structure is planning to build a roof garden in the future that will be available to all guests. All rooms have a height of five meters and eighty centimeters .... almost six, so the kitchen is located in a room two meters and seventy centimeters high not under the bed as you indicated The lack of a lift is also indicated in the announcement. We are sorry if we have disappointed your expectation of having a pool for children but we are not present nor responsible for how you choose the apartments and this is not a good reason to give a negative description of the apartment that is highly appreciated by our Our prices are aligned with those of the B & B of the historic center even if instead of a simple room we offer a mezzanine sleeping area a kitchen and a living room with armchairs and table for dining and of course a full bathroom with a shower of one meter and twenty centimet customers. Thanks again Daria

Charme dans le centre de Catane
La Casa Sole est idéalement située pour profiter de Catane. A l’intérieur, vous vous sentez comme dans un palais baroque, avec ses plafonds en voûte et les carreaux de ciments peints au sol. L’ensemble est magnifique et confortable. La petite terrasse ombragée est géniale ! L’ensemble est calme et même très silencieux pour le centre de Catane

L'edificio è molto bello, il quartiere no. Il personale è molto disponibile ed educato. La stanza AMBRA è pulita e curata, va oliata la serratura perché non sempre la chiave funziona. Ha due condizionatori, quello in camera non funziona (non sono stata avvisata), nella notte è saltata la corrente e la sveglia non ha suonato perché il cellulare in carica si è spento...il bagno è piccolino ma nuovo e pulito, bello, purtroppo nella notte dallo scarico della doccia è salita una puzza di fogna che ha invaso tutto l'appartamento. Il bagno ha una parete confinante con la camera da letto, ha una perdita d'acqua che bagna il pavimento della camera, anche questa, scoperta al mattino poiché ho trovato le scarpe che avevo appoggiato vicino al muro bagnate...

Gentile Elisa grazie della recensione e di aver apprezzato la nostra struttura. Alcune considerazioni in merito a quanto da lei indicato. In generale non comprendiamo perchè i piccoli interventi da lei indicati non vengono immediatamente comunicati alla proprietaria che è in costante contatto e comunicazione con i clienti.Dalla verifica all'appartamento da lei lasciato dopo solo 12 ore ( è arrivata alle 21 e ripartita alle 9 del mattino seguente) di tutte le indicazioni da lei fornite solo una è stata verificata cioè la necessità di oleare la toppa della serratura, per il resto i condizionatori funzionano entrambi perfettamente e la puzza di fogna da lei sentita dev'essersi dileguata perchè non ne abbiamo trovato traccia. Per quanto riguarda il quartiere non comprendo proprio cosa ha inteso: è nel cuore del centro storico, pieno di servizi bar ristoranti supermercati e mercati storici valutata con 9,3/10 o 4,7/5. Prendiamo atto del suo particolare punto di vista dato da un'esperienza di poche ore serali Non trovo invece traccia di un grazie per non averle fatto pagare la tassa notturna di €20 che le era stata chiesta per arrivi oltre le 20! La ringrazio io!

Gentile Felix grazie di aver apprezzato la nostra struttura. Alllo stesso tempo vorrei chiarire che il nostro non è un hotel ma una struttura di "case ed appartamenti per vacanza" all'interno di un edificio storico. La mancanza di ascensore inoltre, è indicata chiaramente nell'annuncio

D’Aria da Daria
La Signora Daria sopperisce alla posizione dell’hotel che pur essendo centralissimo è a ridosso di uno dei peggiori quartieri di Catania. Camera discreta con divano letto al piano e letto matrimoniale bel soppalco. Attenzione: si trova al secondo piano ed è senza ascensore.

Gentile Giorgio grazie di aver apprezzato la nostra struttura per maggiore informazione sulla nostra posizione tengo a chiarire che tutti i portali che ci rappresentano valutano la nostra ubicazione è di 9,3/10; il chè dimostra che non è tra i peggiori quartieri di Catania così come da lei detto! Anzi le nuove attività del "distretto San Berillo" sono accompagnate da iniziative di artisti street art che hanno reso il quartiere a ridosso una meta molto apprezzata dai turisti, oltre ai ristoranti che ne hanno fatto un vero business. Teniamo molto in conto la sua opinione ma ci siamo sentiti in dovere di chiarire a tutti coloro che leggeranno la sua recensione che "una rondine non fa primavera" Ancora e comunque grazie Daria

Week end a Catania tra monumenti e cibo
Siamo rimasti in questo appartamento per due notti. Il palazzo al momento del soggiorno era in restauro. La camera era composta da due letti al piano inferiore e su un soppalco molto carino era posizionato un letto matrimoniale. Camera climatizzata con televisione ed angolo cottura. La casa è in una posizione ottima per poter visitare tutto il centro di Catania. Due minuti a piedi e ci si trova nella centralissima via Etnea. Unica pecca....senza ascensore Consigliato!!!!

Deficiente climatizació
La estacia en general no me gustó. El edificio en el que se ubican los apartamentos está semi abandonado. Toda la planta intermedia está abandonada y las inmediaciones del hotel son ruidosas Las zonas comunes són inóspitas y la conexión Wifi es intermitente, dentro y fuera de la habitación. El anuncio induce a error cuando dice que se dispone de terraza, porque en realidad es un balcón y no hay terraza de uso común. Y lo peor de todo es la climatización, aunque hay aire acondicionado y funciona bien, al ser los techos altos y dormir en los altillos, hace un calor insoportable que hace que cueste dormir!! En fin, no repetiria.
