Excellent location and the owners were very helpful and communicated with me promptly.

The smell of sewerage in the bathroom was unbearable (even with the windows open).

Dakterras met uitzicht.

Bedden met wat zachtere matrassen.

The apartment was fine, the huge plus was having sole use of the large roof terrace.

The location,only 10/15 walk from the centre was fine if you are fully able. My wife requires the use of a walking aid, the streets, and pavements are not in the slightest user friendly. This is more a criticism of Catania than the apartment.

MAJORANA PALACE is a fantastic apartment for a stay in Catania. The apartment is extremely clean and well supplied with a great shower and air conditioning. The smaller bedroom of the three does not have permanent air con, but is supplied with an effective fan and the person sleeping in there was perfectly happy through the weekend. The lift is great, small by UK / American standards but quick and effective. The roof terrace is exceptional, magnificent views, lounge furniture, two sun loungers, and dining furniture as well as an umbrella. Very enjoyable to read the papers and have breakfast! Nearby there are bakeries, little supermarkets, and shops where you can get most of your essentials. Some of the key sites were 15 minutes walk away, and we found several places between the apartment and the fish market which were perfect for lunch and dinner. I recommend walking along Via Vittorio Emanuele II, at one end is an edicola - newsagent, and walking along you'll find bakeries, grocers and an enoteca (specialist wine bar where you buy wine buy the glass, but can then buy bottles of what you like) called 'Wine and Charme' which sells beautifil handmade high quality souvenirs and products as well as wine. Our host was amazing, and very helpful throughout our stay.

There is a fridge and dining room, however only two induction hobs which limited what we could cook, for a group of 4, but we managed, by carefully thinking about what our dinner plans were. .
