Bellissimo Appartamento a Catania

My friend and I had a wonderful stay at Don Giovanni. It was in a great location for restaurants, close to the Duomo and center. Although a stone throw from the fish market we did not notice any fish smell. The beds were comfortable with nice linen. Bathroom well stocked with hygiene product and towels. The kitchen was stocked with all essential wares to cook and the whole apartment was very clean. It was an easy access to the apartment with Giovanni. Although the neighborhood appeared to be a bit rough we found it to be safe and people were friendly.

Fabulous Old World Flat in Old Town Catania

We enjoyed six nights at this property as it provided a great base to explore Catania and the greater region. Our host Giovanni was excellent on communications and helpful suggestions, like parking our car in a secure private garage nearby. The 3rd floor apartment was super clean, quality furnished, and well cared for. We prepared most meals there, accessing fresh foods from the nearby open air fish market, which also had produce and meats, and a nearby wine store. The apartment had a great atmosphere to just sit back and relax in, with very high ceilings, lovely furniture, large kitchen, and four big glass double doors that each open onto balconies overlooking the neighborhood, taking in the tops of nearby historic churches. The grand piano was excellent as well, which I played every evening. Trains pass nearby, overhead of the market, but they don't run all night, mostly in the day. On the weekend, late night revelers were a bit boisterous, but we'd just shut the balcony doors. This was a great apartment to experience Catania from. Bravo!

Authentic

It was an impressive apartment in terms of space, amount of art pieces, the piano and other cozy details. Kitchen is pretty well equipped. Washing mashine is also a big bonus. Perfect location. One big disadvantage - it is VERY (I mean VERY) noisy outside (even if the windows are closed). So if you are sensitive to the noice, keep in mind. Also, pillows could be more “sleepable”. The rest we enjoyed and liked

Amazing flat, super location

Absolutely stunning flat in ancient palazzo adjacent to the fascinating lively market and the Piazza Duomo with famous caffé Prestipino and easy walking distance to all Catania has to offer. Everything you need in renovated flat that has to be seen to be believed, with balconies surrounding. Cannot recommend more highly. Parking in front. Giovanni a responsive easy host. Definitely will tell my friends!
