Very nice property in interesting, authentic, local Catanian neighborhood. Pleasant, secure garden.. Very convenient for the Metro to go downtown. Driving in local traffic can be intense! Fun shopping locally. The owner was very helpful,, and lots of useful suggestions.

Great location! Close to the Meteo station. Well maintained and inviting.
Alessandro and Zuzanna were very good hosts and had many travel tips to share. They are a charming young couple. We enjoyed our 2 week stay at their property. The only negative was that the power went out for one evening during our stay. Not their fault. We loved Sicily. Very friendly and helpful. My wife speaks some Italian which helped.

You couldn't ask for better accommodations or better hosts at this lovely villa. Zuzana and Alessandro were very gracious and helpful. Their local knowledge made our visit so much better. We are outside in the lovely garden almost every night. The villa itself is spacious with two good size bedrooms and a cozy kitchen. The washer came in very handy. We would come back again!

Superbe location. A recommander les yeux fermés. Très bien située non loin de l aeroport.
Les propriétaires sont charmants. Alessandro parle très bien français et est de très bons conseils concernant les endroits a visiter. Un grand merci pour ce séjour que nous n oublierons pas. Un premier voyage qui en appellera forcément d autres. Isabella et Jean marco
