My Italy 70th Birthday Celebration
We enjoyed the comfortable 3 bedroom apartment. It was well located to visiting sites on the eastern side of Sicily. We used it as a hub and hosted a few family dinners. Private parking around the corner was the best place for us to park our rental. We also enjoyed the three balconies. Deffinitely a urban vibe but just right for our needs.

Tutto perfetto!
La casa era pulitissima e molto grande, la posizione è ottima e tutto sommato tranquilla nonostante sia in zona centrale. Molti supermercati e negozi di alimentari vicini, in 10 minuti a piedi si arriva alla Stazione Centrale.

Super Lage, viel Platz!
Der Aufenthalt in dieser Unterkunft war sehr schön. Die Lage ist super! Alles ist so wie auf den Bildern zu sehen. Vorallem morgens das frühstücken auf einer der drei Balkone war traumhaft. Das einzige Manko ist, das es nachts sehr laut ist, da die Unterkunft in direkter Umgebung einer Hauptstraße ist. Aber das kann man mit Ohrstöpsel beheben! Besonders hervorzuheben ist der nette und unkomplizierte Kontakt zu Guiseppe. Sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit!

Haben uns wohl gefühlt
Es ist immer die Frage, was man erwartet. Wir wollten Platz, Nähe zum Bahnhof, fußläufig zur Innenstadt untergebracht sein. Diese Ansprüche waren aller erfüllt. Wir hatten super Kontakt zum Vermieter, mussten auf Grund von Familienproblemen später anreisen, alles kein Problem. Hatten einen entspannten Aufenthalt.

Un très bon sejour
'Vous avons passé un très bon séjour. Nous avons tout fait en transport en commun. L'appartement est à 12 min de la gare centrale. On y trouve beaucoup de bus aussi. Le logement est proche des commerces. Il faut compter 30min à pied pour aller à la place du Duomo et à la gare de bus qui permet d'aller à la plage de sable blanc (il est possible de marcher moins mais il faut prévoir un changement de bus). Il y a sinon à 15 min à pied un accès à la mer via des pontons sur des plages de sable noir et rochers. Nous avons passé 10 très bonnes journées avec une excursion à l'Etna (attention un seul bus aller retour par jour), à Taormina (aller en bus retour en train sans souci) et Aci Trezza où vous aurez la possibilité de faire du pédalo et du kayak (aller retour en bus sans souci). L'accueil était très sympathique par les gérants et ils sont vraiment au petit soin au moindre souci.

Schöne Wohnung und Danke Giuseppe
Die Wohnung ist mit viel Liebe eingerichtet. Von den beiden Balkonen zur Vorderseite hat man einen schönen Ausblick auf das Mittelmeer. Supermarkt und viele Restaurants sind in wenigen Minuten zu Fuß zu erreichen. Vielen Dank nochmal an Giuseppe für die perfekten Transfers sowie die ausführlichen Informationen zu Catania! Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt!
