Palazzo del Verga

The location in the centre was super handy but the apartment was very quite at the same time and no sound travelled up to it. The bathroom had robes, slippers and lots of extras that were great as we forgot to pack a few items and we didn't have to worry. The fridge was very generously stocked with far more than we could get through - thanks for this, it was really appreciated. The apartment is naturally cool so we didn't need the air conditioning in late May. The main bed is huge and super comfortable. The apartment lighting is great with a selection of options, which is well thought through. Guiseppe was very helpful - he supplied a fair priced taxi option for airport transfers.

Please note these are minor, its just to be aware of them - we did like the apartment a lot. There's no "kerb appeal", you go through a large wooden door, into a courtyard with cars, then up a slightly dark stairwell, then into the the apartment and down a narrow corridor to 1 of 3 rooms. Once in the room itself, its large, spacious and a great option to stay in. The second bed is beside the fridge, so sleeping can be disrupted when the fridge motor turns on.

Close to the historical city centre and central bus station.

Extremely loud and busy street - even at night. Breakfast included was a fiction - host was directing us to the wrong places.

Great location, beautiful and interesting building. Everything you needed was thought of.

Nothing

Welcome staff was nice and quickly showed us to our room. Complimentary water and other drinks and snacks in the room. Bathroom was big and shower nice.

It was particularly hot in Catania and like a lot of places in Italy the ac struggles to cool down the room. At that was the case here. Just not cool enough to be comfortable at night.
