We had a great time at this place. The appartment is perfect, it has got all you need. We were welcomed with some fresh food from the garden and around, which was very convenient since we arrived at night. We had 2 wonderful and delicious dinners with the family. They are great company! It is a great place to stay when you want to go visit Etna, Taormina, Syracuse and Caltagirone and Piazza Armena with the old Roman village (that's where we went). It's a pity you can't go by foot somewhere, you'll need your car to go away. Other than that, it's highly recommended!

Super séjour chez Adriana ! L'appartement est très agreable, très bien équipé, nous avons bien profité de la terrasse au petit déjeuner ! Adriana et sa famille sont très accueillants, on a eu un panier d'accueil de folie, avec produits frais, oeufs, fruits.... Nous recommendons chaleureusement cet appartement si vous séjournez dans la région de Catane.

Valentina é stata gentilissima e come lei sua sorella e sua (URL HIDDEN) casa é molto carina ottima la connessione wi fi . La posizione é buona per visitare le gole/l'etna e Catania. La casa luminosa e pulita Valentina super ospitale ci ha accolti con marmellate frutti dell'orto e uova freschissime delle sue galline. Tutto perfetto.

I can totally recommend the listing. Everything is as described and even better!! The flat is located in the hills above catania so you are 10 minutes away from the city but you still have that fresh brease blowing, which is just perfect. From the terrace you have an astonishing view over their olive & orange garden on the one side and the city of catania on the other. The appartment is huge, clean and beautifully furnished. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need - from a mokka cooker over pots and pans to an oven. But the best about this listing is Adriana and her family: if you ever heard clishes about the sicillian hospitality, they are the living example to it!! They will try everything to make you feel at home without hesitating you. Basically you feel like they are long time neighbours of you who would do anything to help you! I would totally recommend the place to anybody who is looking for a nice flat on the east coast of sicilly! 5 of 5 stars!!!

Adriana and Valentina were the greatest and most lovely hosts! Very easy and fast to communicate in advance, very helpful and warm during our (too short!) stay there, with great information and a wonderful personal approach to being hosts. They provided us with some local and homemade food upon arrival which was of amazing quality and taste, and we wish we had had space in our luggage to buy some more to take home! The location is very handy to reach Etna, seaside, Catania. The apartment is very nice and perfectly and lovingly equipped; the view out the back to the garden is great and the view from the hosts' terrace upstairs is simply: wow!

We had a great stay at Valentina's garden apartment, it was well decorated, clean and we were supplied with lots of food in the kitchen. But beyond that Valentina went out of her way to accommodate us, we felt very well taken care of and treated like an old friend. If you're heading to Sicily this is a great place to stay, thanks again Valentina!

La estancia en casa Fahnenberg fue fantástica, el Loft es muy cómodo, amplio y muy luminoso, tiene todo lo que necesitas y muy recomendable para viajar con niños. Además, Adriana nos dejó huevos, aceite, mantequilla, mermelada y figi di India, todos productos propios. La ubicación es perfecta, está justo entre el etna, Catania y taormina. Adriana es muy simpática y te ayuda en todo lo que necesitas.

Wow. This is a MUST stay. Very big highlight on our trip. Adriana valentina and their beautiful mother Agata are just lovely. The apartment is beautiful and private, the land they live on just gorgeous with their own produce, and the dinner we had with the family will be one to remember forever. We could not recommend this any higher and had the best time! We hope to return one day soon!

Elio was very nice host, friendly, warm and easy-going. It was a pleasure for me to come has guest. The house was very Huge and beautiful, our car was in a locked parking. I spend one week in this place and it was a great and lovely experience for me. Recommended to other guest. Thank you again Elio

Nous avons passé un très bon moment à la Casa Curia ! On s'y sent vite comme à la maison ! L'accueil de cette famille est très chaleureux !

Accoglienza cordiale; ospitalità calorosa ma non invadente. Trovare al proprio arrivo frutta e acqua fresca è stato ristorante. Appartamento super accessoriato, vivibilissimo, giardino perfetto per colazioni e cene in tranquillità. Spazi perfetti anche per chi ha un bimbo piccolo. Posizione non proprio centralissima ma comunque decisamente comoda; zona servita da autobus; a piedi è una bella passeggiata. Vicino a tutti i servizi e posto auto interno. La cucina di Tanina un plus!!!

The house with the big garden (and terrace) is a nice little paradise in a street that looks a bit off (parked cars with four flat tires and such, although we didn't feel particularly unsafe), but the minute we walked through the gate everything was great. We parked our car on the property, behind the gate, which was nice and secure. Gaetana (the lady living above the apartment) received us, which was a bit of a challenge since she only speaks Italian, but we managed to understand each other. This didn't stop her from flooding us with information, letting us pick lemons from the trees in de garden and making sure we had everything we needed, including water and some oranges in the fridge. So nice! On the night of arrival she made us an amazing home cooked (4-course!) meal with wine, both served in our apartment. The price was higher than we expected, but it was a great experience and the best meal we had all week. The apartment is well equipped, although the bed and the extra bed/couch in de living room are a bit old. Everything was perfectly clean. It's about a 15 minute walk to the old city center, which was fine (also at night). The city is beautiful and well worth a visit.

Très bon accueil tardif 21h nous n'avons pas pu l'appeler de l'aéroport comme convenu pas réseau téléphonique. Heureusement nous l'avions appelé de France et mis au point les détails de notre arrivé. Coupe de fruit et eau au frais. L appartement est top. De nombreux équipements en cuisine ( jusqu'au lave vaisselle) WC et douche séparés. La literie est très confortable. Le plus la terrasse couverte pour manger dehors. Le parking est un vrai plus passage étroit mais pour notre clio de location cela allait très bien. Le quartier est très bien situé nous avons visité catane à pied, le centre tourisque se situe à environ 2.5km. Le quartier très bien desservi commerces vraiment à côté. Vraiment un lieu paisible, même si entend l'activité de la ville en fond, c'est normal avec la position de l'appartement . Pas de bruit pour dormir. Notre hôte nous a fait pendant notre séjour de nombreuses attentions, mandarines du jardin, noix décortiquées, et bien sûr sa bonne humeur et sa gentillesse . Vraiment c'est une très bonne localisation pour la découverte de l'etna et de taormina et catane bien sûr. Encore milles merci pour votre accueil etvotre gentillesse et disponibilité(URL HIDDEN)

Kleine Oase in Catania mit persönlichem und liebevollem Kontakt mit Gaetana. Wir wurden mit frischen Früchten empfangen, dazwischen standen Baumnüsse auf dem Verandatisch für uns bereit, und unser Söhnchen erhielt Spielsachen. Sehr empfehlenswert!

Quel accueil! Nous avons été accueillis de manière adorable par la "signora" qui as eu beaucoup de petites attentions à notre égard durant notre séjour. Le quartier est facile d'accès en voiture et on peut se garer directement dans l'allée de la propriété. Une magnifique terrasse oú l'oneut profiter des températures agréables de Catan. Le centre est accessible à pied en une vingtaine de minutes. Je reviendrais sans hésitation si j'en ai l'occasion! Grazie per tutto

Before I start to review the apartment, I would like to thank Alessandro and Zuzana for their great hospitality and help during our stay. They helped us in our initial set up, gave insider hints where we can visit, eat or go for a day-trip. Now the review of the apartment. The apartment has two bedrooms, 2 baths, a kitchen, a storage room, a wonderful garden and a private parking spot. It was recently renovated. I should admit that I found the apartment in much better shape than in the pictures. The bedrooms have plenty of space to store your clothes. The beds are very comfortable. I personally have a back problem and I was afraid whether the mattress would be comfortable but it turned out perfect for me. The rooms have air conditioners. They are new and heat/cool very well. The bathrooms are also very clean and nice. You have also a plenty of space and shelves to put towels, cosmetics, etc. There is also an hair-dryer available. In the kitchen you have almost everything you need to cook and serve a decent meal. We usually do not find proper utensils in other airbnb apartments and hence bring some of our owns. However, in this kitchen we found everything and didn't even touch our owns. The fridge is big and clean. The cooker works well. In addition, a washing machine and an iron is also available in the apartment. This is great especially if you are arriving with kids or with fewer cloths. The garden is fantastic. There are medlar, lemon, mandarin, and fig trees. The garden is kept in very good shape by Alessandro. It is very relaxing to rest in the morning and in the afternoon there. My daughter had a lot of fun in the garden as well. The neighborhood. It is very quiet and safe area. If you want to mix yourself with the locals and get a feeling of how they live, I strongly recommend it. There is a nearby bakery, salumeria and grocery to fulfill your daily needs. There is also a bar/pasticceria and pizzeria nearby. If you need a bigger store, there is a huge supermarket in 1km distance. Last but not least, there is a near by metro station. It is very convenient to visit Catania using metro instead of driving by yourself. We used our rental car to do day trips to Sicilian rural areas or nearby towns. I enjoyed very much staying here. It will be my address when I visit Sicily again.

Je voudrai féliciter Alessandro et Zuzana pour leur accueil leur gentillesse et les bons conseils qu' ils nous ont donné pendant  tout le séjour. La maison est parfaitement fonctionnelle agréable,moderne, spacieuse, confortable la cuisine bien équipée avec tout ce qu'il faut pour passer un excellent séjour, le jardin est magnifique on est en plein cœur de la méditerranée avec ses plantes son figuier citronnier olivier . C'est un vrai havre de paix on est tout de suite à l'aise dans une ambiance reposante et relaxante. Alessandro et Zuzana sont d'une gentillesse incroyable et vous donne envie d'adopter et d'aimer la Sicile ils sont à l'écoute et prévenant. Pour moi c'est le meilleur Airbnb que j'ai pu faire jusqu'à présent, vous nous avez donné envie de revenir très vite en Sicile et surtout chez vous c'est la garantie assurée de passer un excellent séjour, vous êtes les meilleurs ambassadeurs de cette belle terre et culture Sicilienne. Encore une fois bravo nous sommes conquis grâce à vous et à très bientôt Inchaallah .

Le foto corrispondono a quello descritto da zuzana è da suo marito. Persone molto gentili cortesi e disponibili. Casa molto confortevole e ben pulita.. consiglio questo posto a chi preferisce rilassarsi un paio di giorni .

We absolutely loved this place. The hosts were great and bent over backwards to help us out with anything we needed, and offered to show us around. The house is true to picture and is very comfortable with a beautiful yard. The location is great- close to everything. We will definitely return anytime we are back in the area!

The home and garden area is beautiful, very comfortable and inviting. We loved having breakfast and dinner in the garden area. They are excellent hosts, very easy to get along with and helpful. Highly recommend staying here if you are staying in Catania.

Logement très bien décrit et jardin très agréable.

This wonderful place has lots of light and space. Location is just perfect and you get beautiful views since it's on the 6th floor. Etna volcano will greet you every morning once you step into the kitchen. The terrace is also huge and has lovely plants and flowers. The host Raffaele was incredibly accomodating, kind and helpful. Communication with him was very easy. Shopping for food was also easy because there is a Deco really close and a little fruit and veggie market just outside the house. Would definitely stay here if we ever come back to Catania. Thank you for everything, Raffaele!

Raffaele is a great host.Very friendly and helpful. We were the first guests at hia apartment. the apartment is new! cozy and commodious, with lots of flowers in it. There is everything there, you need. One of the thing that can impress - terrace! a wonderful look-out over the volcano. Raffaele's flat is located in a very nice place, in the city centre. Easy to get everywhere. Unbelieveble stay at this apartment and nice hospitality of Raffaele. Thank you!!!

We very much enjoyed our stay at Casa Fahnenberg! Perfect location to explore the area around Catania and we loved to home cooked meal!

Very welcoming and helpful. Great facilities. Very cute cats and dogs :) We loved it all

It was a very nice experience staying with Adriana and her family. They have treated us like royal persons. Every day they gave us little gifts like eggs, wine, panettone and a whole homemade cake. As we were not driving and public service was difficult and rare during the festive season, the were picking us from the airport und offering us some nice trips around Catania. Aswell they brought us back to the airport for a small fee. We have two children and they loved staying at the house, as there is a lot of space to play. In a small walking distance there are some nice shops and in around 20 minutes there is the city center of Catania. The flat has everything we needed. It is very cosy and we didn´t missed anything while we were there at Adrianas place. I totally recommend it to stay there.

Posto meraviglioso e comodo. La sera sempre ben ventilato. L'accoglienza di Adriana e famiglia è stata davvero calorosa e sincera. Pareva di essere di famiglia. Uova fresche e pane fatto in casa appena sfornato hanno fatto dell'accoglienza un valore aggiunto. L'alloggio molto ampio ha mantenuto le aspettative e noi tre siamo stati molto bene. Sicuramente ritorneremo non appena possibile. Lo consiglierei tranquillamente a qualsiasi famiglia. A venti minuti circa dal mare, al fresco nelle colline dell'Etneo.

Adriana and Valentina are two lovely ladies who despite the circumstances made us feel very welcome by recommanding places, superdelucious food out of the garden... We had a nice chat on the beautiful terrace from their place. I loved the cosy atmosphere of the house and surroundings, the pets, la mama,... The only minor thing was the road next to the house.

We have totally enjoyed our stay here. The hosts and environment were everything that the site claimed them to be. The fresh food was a greatly appreciated bonus. Would stay here again.

I am very glad to post the first feedback for the Casa Fahnenberg that Adriana told me it was opened from this summer and I was the 3rd guest. Actually the Adriana's house was our first Air BNB experience in our life and my husband had lots of concerns before going there. However it was very successful and my husband and I really enjoyed in staying there for two nights with unforgettable experience of living in Italian farm house. Adriana and her mom were very kind and tried to provide services as much as they can. We loved fresh eggs from their farm for our breakfast. Though there's no air conditioner, the house was cool and we could stay there comfortably. I will miss Adriana, her mom and two dogs~~ 우리가 묵은 곳은 아드리아나가 이번 여름부터 오픈했다는 그녀의 집 1층 아파트였어요. Air BNB 숙소는 처음이라 좀 생소했는데, 걱정할 필요없이 좋았구요, 특히 Air BNB에 대해 걱정이 많았던 남편이 너무 좋아했어요. 카타니아 외곽에 있는 조그만 정원과 텃밭이 딸린 집이었는데 우선 집이 커서 너무 좋았구요, 도시생활과는 다른 엔틱한 분위기도 넘 좋았어요. 아드리아나와 그녀의 엄마도 너무 친절하셨고 있는 동안 신경 많이 써 주셨어요. 닭이 20마리 정도 있는데, 금새 낳은 신선한 달걀로 아침마다 계란후라이도 해 먹었지요. 에어컨이 없어서 걱정했는데, 7월중순 한여름에도 집안은 시원해서 전혀 문제 없었답니다. 새소리를 들으며 잠에서 깨고, 아침은 문앞 야외식탁에서 신선한 공기를 마시며 즐겼답니다. 이태리 시골 가정집을 경험하고 싶은 분들에게 적극 추천합니다.

Excellent accueil de Salvatore. Appartement spacieux, clair, fonctionnel, très agréable et très sécurisé. Grande terrasse et parking privés. Un petit-déjeuner préparé avec grande attention. Et ne pas manquer d'aller manger chez Menza (demander l'adresse à Salvatore)

Very nice apartment. The owner is very warmhearted and did everything we needed. It was a very pleasant experience

Salvatore nous a accueillis avec gentillesse et bienveillance. L'appartement est grand, propre et tres bien équipé avec aussi un parking privé fermé. De gentilles attentions nous ont étes faites pour notre arrivée Je recommande Salavtore à ceux qui veulent avoir un point de chute sur Catane

Отличная квартира, гостеприимный хозяин, очень внимательный и заботливый. В квартире есть все, что нужно и даже печенье, сладости и фрукты с водой как комплимент от хозяина. Очень благодарны за прием!

Köszönünk mindent, kedves Salvatore! Nagyon jól éreztük magunkat Cataniában, ami a szép lakásodnak is köszönhető volt. MIndenkinek ajánlom abban az esetben, ha Cataniaba tévedne.

This apartment was wonderful. It is enormous, I was like living in a hotel suite. Salvatore has the apartment set up for hosting. There are recommendations in english (as well as italian, spanish, and german) on where you can go, what you can see, and where you can eat. Salvatore was a wonderful host. Friendly, available, and responsive.

Great apartment very clean and comfortable a bit too far from the city center. Salvatore is a very nice host. He provided a parking space for us, gave recommendations on shops, restaurants, etc. We enjoyed our stay in Catania.

Salvatore è davvero un ragazzo gentilissimo e non ci ha fatto mancare nulla, pure la chicca del cioccolattino trovato sul cuscino. La casa non è niente male, e le dotazioni che fornisce Salvatore sono a livelli del migliore 5 stelle! Promosso a pieni voti!
