Casa D'aria

La camera è molto carina ed il soppalco fantastico. Carino il balconcino con tavolino per colazione.

Siamo rimasti in questo appartamento per due notti. Il palazzo al momento del soggiorno era in restauro. La camera era composta da due letti al piano inferiore e su un soppalco molto carino era posizionato un letto matrimoniale. Camera climatizzata con televisione ed angolo cottura. La casa è in una posizione ottima per poter visitare tutto il centro di Catania. Due minuti a piedi e ci si trova nella centralissima via Etnea. Unica pecca....senza ascensore Consigliato!!!!

Casa D’Aria was centrally located. We were able to walk to Fontana dell’Elefante, Teatro Massimo Bellini, Piazza Carlo Alberto and a little farther to Villa Bellini to name a few. There were several restaurants, a few shops and a laundromat close by. The apartment was unique and had all the essentials. The bed was cozy and the linen were clean and soft. The hosts (Elena and D’Aria) were very helpful and friendly. They provided several recommendations on restaurants and sites to see while we were there. They even offered to arrange tours for us. We would definitely stay here again when returning to Catania.

To get to the 'room' you had to walk up 62 steps, which at night was a problem as the lights were on a timer and you could not always make it up to the top in light. The room was a high ceiling space which had been converted to a combined facility. The steps to the raised area were steep without handrails. There was a small kitchenette under the raised bed, which had basic cooking implements, hob top, fridge and small table top oven. We were concerned when using the hob top that it would set the surrounding area alight. The shower, toilet area was in a corner of this room. Very small balcony looking into the street area. There were no servicing in the time we were there. One positive ........ Hot water. There are a lot of restaurants in the area serving mostly excellent Italian food. The outside area, the city etc is full of litter and plastic. Also when you read the blurb it says there is a children's pool & spa. That's only for people staying in one particular room. Brought this to their attention & was told that they are hoping to make it available for other clients, not sure how as you would have to walk through someone's room. Personally thought the price was a complete rip off, though I was told I would have a better deal booking direct. Seriously not for anyone who has a walking, balance problem. Not sure how the other rooms where.

Enjoyed it very much. Location was perfect - very central. The apartment was lovely with a brilliant terrace. Very comfortable throughout.
