About this property

Terrazza con vista Etna e centro storico by Wonderful Italy

Apartment with a terrace overlooking Mount Etna, the historic center, and the port of Catania.

Located on the third floor of a building with an elevator, this apartment has a living area with a dining table and a well-equipped kitchen, complete with oven, microwave, and kettle. From here, guests enter the cozy bedroom furnished with a wardrobe, a queen-sized bed, and a desk. It also has a full bathroom with a shower.
Guests will love the balcony equipped with a small table, where they can eat outdoors while admiring the majesty of Mount Etna with its spectacular lava flows and the tall columns of smoke and ash, as well as the striking panoramic view of the city, in particular of the domes of the cathedral and other churches.
In addition, this apartment offers a glimpse of the port of Catania, often illuminated by cruise ships moored, creating a magical atmosphere in the evening.
There are also comforts such as free wi-fi, air conditioning, and heating with a heat pump.

Catania boasts a beautiful historical center, listed among UNESCO's World Heritage Sites. Its architectural wonders, as well as the colorful street markets, the wild beauty of Mount Etna and the crystal-clear sea of the coasts, will seduce you. Among the others, the Cathedral of Sant’Agata (the city’s patron saint), Bellini theater, the street markets, Via Etnea (Catania’s most important and scenographic street), the wonderful Monastery of the Benedictines (home to the Faculty of Human Sciences) and the Etna are worth a visit. And obviously, it is impossible not to mention Catania’s culinary tradition, with its typical arancini (fried rice balls), the iris (fried or baked stuffed bombs), Olivette of Sant’Agata (typical sweets made of almond paste and colored in green) and the famous brioches with granita. For horse meat lovers, Via del Plebiscito with its typical street embers is not to be missed. You can already smell the delicious aroma even from a long way off! An unmissable stop-over just outside the city is the coast, and more specifically the beautiful Gulf of Acitrezza, where in 1881 Giovanni Verga set his best-known novel, “I Malavoglia”.

The airport of Catania Fontanarossa is a 10-minute drive away while Catania Central station can be reached with a 20-minute walk.

Great location for exploring Catania and a fantastic terrace with a view of Etna

The apartment is located very close to the centre of Catania but is in a quiet area. Easy walking distance to the main piazza and several very good restaurants and wine bars (Nelson in particular) very close by.

A huge disappointment

This apartment has potential because of convenient location and stunning view from balcony, but it is a missed opportunity. It was very dirty: dust-covered floors, mud on balcony floor and furniture (boot print on a chair), dingy stained indoor furniture, drapery hanging unattached from rod, crumpled dish cloth in back of cabinet under sink. Management unresponsive. No apology or offer to send cleaners.

Very disappointing

While the view from the terrace of Mt Etna is the selling point, this so-called apartment is very disappointing otherwise. It is more like a small hotel room with a kitchenette area in the entrance, and the overall impression is dated and run down. The armchair was stained, ghe curtajns were half hanging off the curtain rod. Two lights did not work, including the main bathroom light - luckily there was another light over the mirror so we could see. The tiles in the bathroom were also cracked and it smelled damp. The wall clock didn't work and the smoke alarm had its battery hanging out. The room was not very vlean - dust bunnies under the bed, and I had to wipe the sink area down. We would have been prepared to ignore all of this, except for the lack of functioning air conditioning which made tge stay unbearable. The unit makes a lot of noise but does not cool down the room at all, despite settibg it to 18 degrees - and it also leaks water all over the terrace (which makes the one nice aspect of the place less attractive.) The terrace also has several planters containing dead plants. All in all very disappointing, and in fact we checked out after one awful sleepless night in the heat (having paid for three). It feels a lot like someone is simply trying to wring money out of tourists without doing any work to maintain the place. Avoid.
