The room is spacious with large windows that open onto a large courtyard where you can enjoy a glass of wine. The bathroom was very modern, the kitchen well equipped with modern appliances yet the space had very rustic feel. The hosts were very responsive and provided excellent video instructions on how to find the place and get in which is through a large electric car gate into a car park area. Easy to get in and out of and feel very safe. Lots of excellent restaurants with 10 minute walk. Area was quiet at night, bed was good, pillows a little too soft for my liking but main issue with the accommodations was the floor ceramic tiles were heavily stained by past guests which made the place feel dirty even after the little old cleaning lady gave it a good mopping. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/19d20c86-3fd1-439c-8771-9b67d74ab531-1765872420937.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Robin Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 15 Aug 2024 Liked: Room comfort, communication #### A lovely place. The place is an oasis in the city. Very convenient for exploring the city and felt safe. A charming place. There were some issues with cleanliness though such as smelly pillows and dust & dirty floors. But the bathroom and kitchen were spotless. The kitchen could have done with some items such as a washing-up bowl or plug. But overall it was a very pleasant place and the owner was very good at communicating with us. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Marie 25 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, room comfort, communication Really nicely furnished apartment equipped with everything you need. Very nice and big terrace as well! Rustic interior which gives it an authentic feel. Only negative thing was that the WiFi did not work during our stay. We tried asking the host but were just told to ‘go out and try in the garden’. And one morning at 9:30 AM, the host tried unlocking our door and collect something inside - while we just got out of the shower and were actually naked 😅 luckily, we left the key inside so he couldn’t insert a key from the outside.. kinda weird to be honest! Other than that, we did enjoy the apartment which is walking distance from everything in Catania. ##### Marie Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joanna 8 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, communication It was extraordinary experience to stay in that place -interior design and garden are something to remember, grazie:) ##### Joanna Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Hector Toledo 16 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication Todo bastante bien.
