We, a family of three - mum, dad and 4month old daughter - have just returned from our 6day trip to Catania. The best thing about it was our accomodation at Palazzu Stidda and especially Patrizia and Giovanni who were incredibly friendly, helpful and accomodating. Even before our arrival, Patricia answered my many questions in great detail and they offered... More

For the sake of some elderly guests who also were staying in this pearl of accomodation in beautiful Catania, Patricia and Giovanni kindly asked to upgrade us to a different appartment. The other guests found it too difficult to climb the stairs to the bed. We, on the other hand, found this utterly romantic and were more than happy to.... More

We really enjoyed our stay here. we never suspected the accommodation would be so beautiful and 2 people could be so friendly! We arrived early but this wasn't a problem, Patricia & Giovanni were very helpful and provided any information we required for Catania. On arrival we were given a map of the area with all the restaurants and places... More

We arrived in Catania almost by mistake due to the airline changing our flight and had two nights. How we all wished it could have been longer. Patricia and Giovanni were utterly delightful - we were enchanted. They greeted us like friends and were so helpful at all times. It was the most beautiful start to our holiday. The location... More

We were impressed by hosts' reception - quite frankly we have never experienced such warm welcome before in any of the places we stayed in. On our arrival we were treated with fresh fruits, jam and bread and cold water. The owners (Patricia and Giovanni) are great hosts -very friendly and eager to help us in any way. They gave... More

I cannot recommend this place more highly. Incredibly warm hospitality, a spacious apartment with lovely decor, a thoughtfully stocked fridge with coffee, water, etc., and the house is on a peaceful street in an otherwise fairly noisy city Our hosts even woke up at the crack of dawn to take us to the airport. STAY HERE!!

Our good feelings about Palazzu started from the first contact. Since Patricia speaks French and English as well as Italian, we were able to exchange information easily. She was very accommodating and gave us great info before we even arrived. Giovanni, Patricia and beautiful baby Apollonia greeted us and made us very welcome. Giovanni schlepped our heavy suitcases up to... More

Not only did our experience of Palazzu Stidda begin right at the airport arrivals but it started with true warmth and charisma that only grew during our trip. Sitting in the buzzing centre of Catania, the apartment is a stone's throw from all the wonderful historical sights as well as the famous fish market and equally abundant daily food market... More

Appartment number 2 in Palazzu Stidda was really the best thing about our whole Sicily trip. I've never seen a holiday appartment furnished with so much attention to detail and high-quality furniture and decoration. Patricia and Giovanni, our very caring and helpful hosts, have made a real effort to make this appartment special. Everything you could possibly need was there... More
