    Probably the most spectacular accommodation we had so far in many years of travelling. The apartment is a jewelry and Giuseppe, the host, who transformed the space amazingly, is the kind of person you would like to have as a friend. Just follow his recommendations and you'll discover some treasures.

    Absolutely nothing

    A MUST STAY APARTMENT <3 My partner and I have stayed in 31 different apartments during our Europe Summer holiday and I can not put into words how amazing Giuseppe’s place was. He greets you on arrival and makes you feel right at home showing you around the most beautiful apartment you’ll ever see. I can’t fault one thing about it and wished we could stay longer. The location is excellent as it’s so central. We went to majority of the recommendations Giuseppe gave and they were all incredible and cheap in price.

    Our host Giuseppe was wonderful. We arrived at the apartment late evening much later than expected and he was so understanding. He was so helpful in recommending renearbt restaurants and cafes for breakfast. ParkinWe parked in a chargeable parking space on the nearby main road road around the corner and used a ticket machine in the plaza about 100 yards away(parking is not expensive).

    The apartment is tastefully decorated by Giuseppe himself! We loved how the aircon was working well for the hot summer! The hot water in the shower was good too! Most importantly, we felt safe in the apartment (thanks to all the locking mechanisms!) Appreciate all the fantastic recommendations given by Giuseppe! We used Catania as a base to travel to Taormina, Agrigento & Palermo! No regrets staying at this apartment for our entire stay in Sicily! 👍🏻👍🏻

    Giuseppe is de warmest, friendiest and best host you can find. He was waiting for us at the appartment guiding us to a parkingspace in front of the building. He guided us to the good restaurants. The large apartment is new and beaufufully decorated by himself. The location of the apartment is at a walking distance ofall the places you need to see while staying in Catania. Look no further this is the place you wan't to be.

    I simply admired this apartment. What makes it really special - besides of its large space and perfect location - is the amazing combination of beautiful historic interior and all modern comforts which you want to enjoy on vacation. On top of this you get an amazing host Giuseppe who made us such a warm welcome and made sure we enjoyed our stay in the apartment and in Catania. Giuseppe is so joyful, positive and extremely friendly. He gave us an incredible number of great advices and helpful tipps. Even if we saw him only once - when he handed us the keys - we were in touch on whatsapp all the time and he was solving our questions and needs on the fly, always being kind, helpful and accomodating. We will definitely come back!

    Nothing to add here related to the apartment/owner.

    The apartment is located in the city centre, close to coffee shops, restaurants and Via Etnea (the promenade with shops), but not too close, so it's quiet during the night. It's a historical building, but the aparment was very tastefully renovated by the owner Giuseppe. He was very kind to help us with the information on how to reach the locations and very responsive to our requests. I highly recommend the apartment for anyone who wishes to visit Catania and nearby places to feel the italian experience right in the city centre, but in very clean and modern apartment. For us it will be the first option when we will visit again.

    Beautiful apartment located in the heart of Catania. Excellent hosts and close to restaurants & bars

    The apartment is located in a historic center building so it does not have a lift (just stairs) although is only one floor up, but not suitable for people with specific accessibility requirements

    Giuseppe and Vicenzo welcomed us on our arrival, they are excellent hosts keen to resolve any questions and suggest different options around the city. Dimora del papa is located in the heart of Catania and is a beautiful completely refurbished apartment. It is very cosy , clean and spacious. You can walk to all main sites of interest and there are plenty of restaurants and bars around. Will definitely come back if we are again in Catania.

    We found free parking in front of entrance. Big living room with high ceiling; classic style by many designed details; well equipped kitchen. Walking distance to center (Fontana dell'Elefante, fish market, etc.) and many amazing restaurants & bar; the host Giuseppe is very hospitable. He wrote to us all kinds of useful information to explain how and where to enjoy the city. You can hardly find more questions to ask!
