Wonderful clean house with quiet garden
Alessandro was an excellent host and very communicative. Responses were prompt and helpful. He met us at the house when we arrived, even holding a parking spot for us in the front of the building. The house was very clean and well appointed with everything we needed. The air conditioner was much appreciated because Sicily was 10 above normal the week we were there. We would definitely stay in this house and with this host again. One recommendation would be to bring some supplies for eating and drinking because there aren’t very many restaurants close by. That said, there is a nice little market a couple hundred meters away, a supermercato less than 1 km, and a couple of wonderful seafood restaurants about 15 minutes walk away, down by the shore. A good experience overall…

Exceeds expectations, great property with an even better host
I greatly enjoyed my stay at the Donizetti House. The property was extremely comfortable and totally clean when I arrived. The neighborhood was nice as well, quieter than the more touristy parts of Catania.
The host, Alessandro, was also extremely helpful. He not only saved me a parking spot for the check-in and waited late after my flight was delayed, he also recommended local activities and nearby live music in Catania. Would stay again!

Most perfect stay
We arrived at the apartment and our host greated us with a bottle of Prosecco and saved us at parking spot.
He showed us all we needed to know and recommended places to see and eat. We felt safe and supported at all times. This was the best vacation for us.

Highly recommend this apartment
This is a fantastic apartment and great value, the kitchen is stocked with everything you could possibly need with loads of pots and appliances, it has 4 TV screens with 1 at 6ft with Netflix! The apartment was really clean, modern and spacious, the two bathrooms are great with brilliant showers. All amenities, public transport and the sea are within walking distance and the area is lovely. The host is extremely helpful and accommodating with anything that I needed and checked in often to make sure everything was okay.
