"Beautiful, authentic Sicilian palace. Perfectly restored while keeping the spirit of the past. You find yourself in a palace worthy of Visconti's 'The Leopard.' Everything is perfect."

"The photos don't do justice to how spacious the villa is or how tall the ceilings are. One highlight is the balcony facing the street, with a view of Mount Etna — only a 7-minute walk from the train station."

"Huge rooms, two bathrooms, an extremely well equipped kitchen, and a garden with citrus trees. You can greet Etna every day from the north balconies. Very good place for workation — stable WiFi even from the garden."

"A Sicilian palace from the beginning of the last century: large spaces, frescoed ceilings and original floors. From the street view you can see the sea and Mount Etna. Nino welcomed us with great sympathy."

"Antonino's family takes care of the family home with great love. A beautiful option to visit all of Catania without being immersed in the most touristy part. Highly recommended."
