Luxury Catania at via Monte Vergine 18 Catania was a very liveable self contained apartment with two living areas, well organized kitchen and bathroom (including Washing Machine), huge bedroom with extremely comfortable Queen/King sized double bed. The apartment was a very easy 10 min walk to/from the CBD and wonderful Farmers market, plus regular market open 6 days pw. Also walking distance Metro and connections to regional byses and trains.

It was good. Staff were friendly and helped out with any questions we had.

There was nothing luxurious about “Luxury Catania”. The pictures shown on the Expedia site for this property do not match. It is definitely not the same place! I was looking for a place to stay that had an elevator and free breakfast. The Expedia site said this property was on 1 floor and had an elevator. What we got was a place that had no elevator, we had to climb 2 very narrow staircases…too narrow to take our suitcases to the 2nd floor where the beds and bathroom were. We had to leave our large suitcases on the first floor as it was too dangerous to carry them up the stairs. I was also looking for a place that could accommodate 3 adult seniors. The Expedia site showed 2 queen beds side by side and a modern bathroom. What we got was a queen bed in one bedroom and a sofa bed in the living room. The bathroom was old and very narrow. Only one person at a time could fit. The Expedia site also stated a breakfast buffet from 6 to 10 daily. What we got was a tray of packaged dry toast, some packaged croissants, little cakes, and juice boxes in a warm refrigerator. The reviews stated that the Luxury Catania was a quiet place. Well it was not. There is a football club next door and we heard men screaming and yelling during a football game. Not to mention the neighbors and the neighborhood cats…both nights. I called the Expedia customer service and spoke with a supervisor Aieda. She tried to help me find a new place but unfortunately most places were sold out.

Quick stop over before travelling done the coast checking in wasn’t the best bit like Fawlty Towers

I enjoyed my stay. It was a perfect room with a balcony overlooking a small square with restaurants. It was pretty lively till early morning, but was not really disturbed in the room. The owner told me about the fish restaurant downstairs, so i tried it. I got the fish and chips. Very different from the British version as it was nit battered. But, it was some of the best fish and chips I've ever had. Really appreciate talking to the owner. Very enjoyable stay.

To begin with, Alfio offered to pick me up at the airport (for a fee) which made life less stressful getting to the place...........it's very close to the airport bus stop anyway. It's close to the centre & meeting points for tours going to Etna or other towns as well as most bars & restaurants being within 10-15min walk. The area looks a bit run down but that's just surface; it's lively til late! The apartment itself has good sized rooms, your own showerroom (bring your own toiletries) & the kitchenette is kept stocked up with breakfast items & coffee! The bedroom doors don't have something to lock from the inside other than the key which is a bit awkward......

I liked that you could walk almost everywhere the location is great

The room was immaculate and very clean.The entire night i heard no sound or disturbance.And above all the staff was courteos and very helpful.I would definitely recommend it to anyone who plans to stay overnight in Catania.

Property in great location, lots of good restaurant's,but limited access with car due to market shutting down streets 6 days a week , parking is 12euros a night, air conditioning in room barely working, also the place could use some tender loving care.

room very nice, but no window. good location, and really a B&B in an apartment , and owner contacted us to meet him, but was not there at the time, but sorted out in 20 minutes. Breakfast a bit light and prepackaged.
