Horrible
This place was a lie. Area surrounding it was covered in trash. Homeless people and stray animals eating said trash. Would not stay here. Tried to cancel due to the surrounding area being completely disgusting but apparently vibrant now means unsanitary.

Luca made all the difference for our stay here. Excellent communication and was very helpful. The area is great, especially if you like markets because it’s right outside your door. The front door is not car accessible. It’s only a short walk down an alley. The alley itself is pretty interesting. So many shops and restaurants surrounding this place. Ok wifi, great water pressure and temperature. Nice to have air conditioning. A very sweet little outdoor space. Would recommend.

Catania Apartment
This was a reasonably priced charming 3 bedroom vintage walk up flat with fully equipped kitchen for making light food and snacks. The apartment also a washing machine but for drying clothes there is an outside clothes line--at the kitchen patio area. The apartment location is in the middle of Catania and there is an open air produce market and flea market every morning 7am to 1pm. Most everything you need is within walking distance and about 5 blocks away there is nice upscale shopping area There are several restaurants very near the flat. The host (Luca) is super helpful and responds to requests quickly. We got lost driving when first trying to get to the parking garage (2 blocks away from flat you have to take your luggage on foot from garage to the flat) but Luca came on his motor cycle and led us to the parking garage and then helped get our luggage to the apartment! We would stay there if we were come back to Sicily again!

This is a great place to stay if you want to use the Fera 'o Luni street market (which is amazing). Luca was very responsive at all times and fixed the patio grill promptly.

This is a great place to explore Catania by foot and neighboring villages/city by public transportation. The market, an excellent bakery, and popular restaurants are right around the corner. My email was shut down by my provider for security (I guess). Luca got me the missing information quickly once I contacted him. It is important to know the market noise starts right under your window early in the morning (carts wheeling by, talking). We sort of enjoyed the banter, but if you are someone who has trouble falling back to sleep or want to start your day late, you will want earplugs.

Luca was great to work with. He had a driver waiting for us at the airport. The apartment is right by the open market. Don’t be concerned as you are walking to the apartment, it is clean inside, big steel door and we felt totally safe. Thank you Luca! We will see you again.

The interior is amazing. Very clean. Location was interesting and suited our taste (we want off the beaten path). Very comfortable with air conditioning. Very historical. The highlight for us was the very large open air market right outside the door (Piazza Carlo Alberto). Good deals galore. We had no water the last day and no internet. Host said packet was missing and no hair dryer. The Price for the unit was great.

Luca was amazing!!! The best host EVER!!!!
It was so nice to see Luca at the airport, picking us up & then having him take us back to the airport even though it was so early!!! He was always making sure we had everything we needed & kept in touch with us to make sure we were comfortable. The apartment is lovely & close to everything. You can smell fresh bread & pastries being made in the morning as they are just below the apartment. The market is so close and it is AMAZING!!!! They set up very early but it is so nice having everything that you need close by. We would definitely rent from Luca again. Thank you Luca for everything. ☺️☺️☺️

Discover Sicily
The apartment was in a good position for easy access to the centre of town with many local restaurants close by. There is also a huge food and clothing market just round the corner which starts at 6.00am every day. We found the noise rather a problem early in the morning. It had a table and chairs outside in the courtyard which we enjoyed using and the shower was brilliant. Luca was able to transfer us to and from the airport and was very helpful regarding all the attractions we hoped to visit, and anything else regarding the apartment. Sicily is quite beautiful even when Mount Etna covers everything in dust. Syracuse was our favourite place. Thanks Luca and have a good summer.

Ailsa (Sandra on passport but haven't used since 5 years old!) S., Ruardean woodside, Gloucestershire

property was very good , quiet considering how near to the lovely buzzing market. Safe lock up.
Our apartment had an additional small outdoor kitchen...great if you want to cook fish from the daily market, which is a joy to see such a vast range of produce. Sicily is a great place to explore, don't forget your walking shoes. Plenty of tours , but if you check out previously where the bus stations are you can do your own itinerary. Fabulous architecture. Catania Tourist info in Doumo square very helpful...good English. Luca met us from the airport and was very helpful with eatery suggestions.... very good. Pastries are wonderful too! Worth checking out the Greek amphitheatre, odd just going in off a busy road....nearly missed it! An amazing place...so large.....totally unexpected. Bellini park is beautiful, even more so when a lady visitor sung a an aria in the bandstand! Trip to Syracuse was interesting but they close the ruins if it rains, which it did for us! Pity, but able to take a tourist bus ride to see the town, the catacombs are well worth a visit , so extensive, they close at lunchtime but the restaurant opposite is excellent. We were very impressed with our 5 day visit, and will come back.

Nice, well-equipped apartament in the city centre. The owner is very helpful. There is marketplace round the corner where you can buy fresh food in good price. The only disadvantage is that wi-fi works good only in the corridor and staircase. I recommend this flat.

Al Vicoletto was well located for easy access to restaurants, transport, food supplies
I would like to thank Luka for his good advice, help and the airport transfers to the house. The close availability of the market was very interesting and I was amazed how quickly any remaining rubish was cleaned away. Within a few hundred paces there was every manner of bars and restaurants. All the equipment in the house operated correctly, the best feature reason the shower.

Agréable séjour en sicile
Nous avons passé une belle Semaine en sicile. Le logement était très propre et spacieux. Il ne faut pas s'arrêter à l'impression que donne la ruelle car ce n'est pas à l'image de l'appartement. Luca nous a très bien accueilli et s'est montré fort sympathique. La chambre du fond est plus calme et nous a préservés du bruit du marché.. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié la vallée des temples d'agrigente, Syracuse et taormine. Nous avons également fait une très belle balade dans le versant nord du parc du mont Etna ( après fornazzo au mont sartorius vers le refuge de citelli, La route pour arriver au départ de la balade est incroyable... Elle serpente dans les anciennes coulées de lave à perte de vue. ). Nous recommandons le loueur de voiture place Stesicoro et les bars rue Auteri Pour les points négatifs, il faut quand même parler de la question des poubelles et des déchets qui traînent partout aux abords des villes et sur les routes, ce qui gâchent les paysages... Autre point négatif, la conduite au volant des siciliens et leur manque de courtoisie vis à vis des touristes...

Appartement propre, pas de salon mais une petite terrasse (à noter que la voisine ne tolère aucun bruit après minuit). L'appartemeent est situé au coeur de Catania, près d'un grand marché, l'environnement est parfois bruyant, proche des transports en communs et des attractions touristiques à pied: comptez 18min à pied pour la gare. La plage de Catania est à environ 30 minutes de bus. Nous n'avons pas vu l'hôte mais la communication était très bonne mis à part pour le barbecue qui était defecteux.

Catania im Juli 2023 - ich würde sofort wieder hinfahren!
Die Wohnung hat eine fantastische zentrale Lage. Der Wochenmarkt direkt vor meiner Haustür ist mein ganz großes Highlight. Hier gibt es alles. Die frische Ware habe ich in der Küche sofort gekocht. Die nahe Via Etnea ist Fußgängerzone mit abwechslungsreichen Läden aller Preisklassen. Palazzi, Kirchen überall duftender Oleander! Hier entlang laüft man 10 min bis zum Busbahnhof. Linie D fährt zu den endlos weiten und breiten Sandstränden. Beim Baden blickt man auf den Ätna. Ich empfehle die Badeanstalten ( Lido) zu nutzen. Lidoaquazurra war besonders schön mit großem Sonnenschirm und superbequemen Liegen. Da hält man am Strand die Hitze super aus. Wir sind schön braun geworden. Das Castell, den Steinstrand mit der schwarzen Lava! Die vielen Straßen und Gassen mit Graffiti und kleinen Läden... Es gibt so viel zu sehen, wenn man zu Fuß unterwegs ist. Abends öffnen viele nette Bars und Restaurants. Die Musik spielt bis nachts um zwei. Ein schöner Park "Villa Belini" liegt auch ganz in der Nähe. Eine schöne Anlage in völliger Ruhe. Überall kann man sich preiswert Kaffee, Wasser oder Bier in den kleinen Läden oder Straßenbars kaufen. Und ich hatte niemals das Gefühl, dass ich hier ausgeraubt werden würde. In Catania trifft sich die Welt und jeder kann dabei sein.
