Apartment vacation rentals in San Giovanni La Punta

The apartment was the perfect base for exploring Catania. The location is unbeatable as everything is at walking distance, and yet outside of the turistic area. Lots of things to do and try nearby, especially in the market. It really gives you a glance at the authentic sicilian everyday life. But what truly sets this place apart is the kidness of the host. Nausicaa is very friendly and understanding, very responsive to our needs and she really helped us through an unexpected event. Would highly recommend this apartament and would love to come back!

Paolo’s apartment is very centrally located and tastefully furnished, right in the heart of the city but tucked away on a quiet street. The beds were comfortable and everything in the flat worked efficiently. There’s efficient air-conditioning and good wi-fi. Paolo was friendly and helpful. I’d love to stay in his beautiful apartment again. Five stars!

We had an amazing stay! The area was so beautiful and nice. The apartment was perfect with the most gorgeous view. There’s restaurants and shops near by, where you can grab some food. Overall a really nice trip and a good stay in Taormina😊

“Gianluca was a wonderful and attentive host who made our stay incredibly comfortable. The space was beautifully decorated and well-equipped with everything we needed. His restaurant downstairs offered some of the best Sicilian cuisine we enjoyed during our trip.”

Ideally located and excellent host :)

We had a fun time at Emanuele's! He welcomed us upon arrival, giving us several suggestions of places to visit in Catania. The apartment is large and superb. We were able to enjoy the two balconies and the two air-conditioners were greatly appreciated. The neighborhood is quiet, close to services and markets. There is a bus stop for Taormina a 5-minute walk away, and the central station is 20 minutes away, which is very convenient. We would definitely stay here again.

Fantastic location. Caterina is a kind person, making sure I was well taken care of. She offered great recommendations for dining and sightseeing. The apartment has everything travelers may need.

Thank you for having us. A great apartment which was a short walk from the centre of town. Easy entry with a key safe. The bedrooms were all fine, the kitchen was small as seen in the photos and the living room space is outside as also seen in the photos. A few more plates and bowls would have been great as there were 6 of us! Thank you!

I stayed at the place for a week and am very grateful and satisfied. Maria, Italo and Tango 🐶 welcomed me great. I felt very comfortable and the breakfast was very tasty every morning. 🥞 The two are very attentive and always have tips for the area ready. I had a car on site and was able to park at the parking lot without any problems. You can explore the surrounding area both on foot and by bus/car from there. It was a great vacation and I'm happy.

Our favorite stay in all of Sicily. Breathtaking views of the Isola Bella right out front! easy walk to that beach with cute restaurants and swimming. Barbara is super cool. Place is Magical.

Beautiful, well-equipped apartment ideally located between Catania and Etna. Andrea is a great host who does everything to satisfy her visitors. We would definitely recommend this apartment.

The apartment is absolutely breathtaking! I think you probably can’t find a better view of Etna in the city than Antoine’s apartment and its rooftop terrace. If you’re lucky like us, you can observe Etna erupting at night! We appreciated a lot the modern and funky interior design as well as all the amenities that were available. Also the location was great and very central, so that you can go to the city center for a nice dinner every evening. Antoine also suggested us a parking lot nearby that we used, so that our car was safely parked and not exposed to the driving skills of locals.

Gennaro and his family are great and very kind hosts. Flat is located in clean and safe modern part of town just 20 minutes walk from Piazza del Duomo, trough authentic streets, old buildings, parks and local markets. AliBus Connection with Airport is perfect, AliBus station is just in the front of the building. Central bus station is 10 minutes walk down the streat. Local food stores and Lidl are located next to the building. Restaurants that Gennaro recommend are close and affordable with good food on the menu. Definitely we will come back again, highly recommend!

The property was very nice, cozy and clean... Eva was very nice and available with us...

I would recommend it to everyone. Gianluca is very understanding, very flexible. We came with the kids early on Sunday and he checked us in much earlier, thank him very much for that. He also has his own tourist agency in the building and you can get all the information and best recommendations from him. Apartment is in the very center and everything is close, it is normal that it is sometimes a little noisy, but believe me, that is the advantage of Sicily itself. As for the apartment, everything is as in the pictures.

We really enjoyed our stay. We hope to return to Taormina one day and would look to stay here again. The space was really good and well presented. Comfy bed and nice shower. Yes, it overlooks the main road, but the double glazing is very good soundproofing and it really did not bother us at all. It was nice to have a sea view and the location for easy walking to the station and for walking up the hill to Taormina suited us very well indeed. Rosario met us when we arrived and was excellent at communicating and ensuring we had all we needed.

My wife and I had a wonderful stay. It is exactly as pictured. The apartment is extremely clean. The kitchen is well equipped. The view is amazing. Dorotea was such a warm and inviting host. We would definitely stay here again.

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect honeymoon getaway at Roberto’s Airbnb in Sicily! The place was exactly as described—spotlessly clean, private, and beautifully maintained. The views from the property were absolutely unbeatable and made our stay even more special. The location was fantastic, with plenty of charming restaurants within walking distance, as well as easy access to the bus stop and the cable car to Taormina. It made exploring the area a breeze! Roberto went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful stay. We were greeted with a lovely bottle of prosecco and plenty of snacks, which was such a thoughtful touch after our travels. He also provided excellent local recommendations, especially helpful during the rainy days we encountered. We truly enjoyed our time at Roberto's home and can’t wait to return on our next visit to Sicily. Highly recommend!

Brilliant location in the heart of the old city. Beautiful space. We loved the terrace, especially. If you want a vibrant, spacious, attractive place then book this!

We had a lovely stay at Stefano’s place. Perfect location close to everything and we loved having a drink on the terrace before dinner. Would 100% recommend.

Beautiful location in the heart of Catania. It was wonderful to be able to watch the sunset over the Basilica from the room.

we were 4 people in Marco and Amber's apartment for 7 days. beautiful, clean and fragrant apartment in the very center of Catania. Mixing exactly as in the pictures with everything you need. in the apartment quiet nothing disturbs the silence in the evening. Amber and Marco were very helpful in everything. they answered exactly to every question. they recommended restaurants and various places to see. we highly recommend this place. next time we will also come to Marco and Amber. thank you for your hospitality and a very wonderful stay in this wonderful place.

I enjoyed my stay. It has everything you need and an area to do laundry, which is so great on a long trip.

Livio's place is spectacular, and we could not have wished for a more beautiful home during our stay in Catania. The apartment is a stunning 18th century noble Sicilian palace, which has been carefully restored and is difficult to explain in words. We spent hours staring at the ornate ceilings, it makes you feel like royalty. The location is perfect, with dozens of restaurants steps away, and daily markets of fresh fruit, vegetables, meat and fish right outside your door. Livio is a fantastic host, who always went above and beyond for us. He arranged parking for our vehicle, helped us with our luggage, and was very quick to respond anytime we had a question. Easily one of my best stays on AirBnb. Thank you Livio! Highly recommend, A++
