It’s a quiet and privat appartment near the local beach where some nice restaurants can be found. The city is very busy and it’s difficult to find some space to park your car, but nevertheless it was a lovely holiday! ##### Catharina L.

Since this was our first time in Sicily we wanted to focus on a region, rather than cover the entire island. We were able to travel to Etna, Taormina, and Siracusa easily from this location. The apartment was comfortable for 4 adults. One word of caution. If you’re not comfortable with climbing stairs this place may not be for you. The property description, and host attentiveness were spot on. ##### Dave W. Stayed 8 nights in Sep 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Jan L.

It is a five minute walk to Catania Picanello train station, and three minute walk to a small grocery store and Tris Bar, which offers all snacks/meals. It is a forty minute walk into the historic center of Catania. The neighborhood is old and a bit run down, but safe. The property manager is excellent, providing quick and helpful responses to all communications. ##### Andrea L. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Inness M.

We had a great stay, and better than expected with easy walking access to the sea (Miami beach lounge), local shops, cafés (Trisbar 1966 & Magri highly recommended), & woodfired take-away Pizzaria 100 yards away on Via Messina. It's a short 15 minute taxi ride to Catania City. If you like a traditional rustic fish restaurant try Nitto in Ognina (10mins Taxi) very popular with the locals (don't be put off by the plastic cups, plates & cutlery) ##### Inness M. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anastasia B. Sep 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy My best friend and I stayed at Mori’s House for a week in Sicily, and it truly felt like a private oasis in Catania. Perfectly located near the beach, restaurants, and shops, the property blends modern amenities with the historic charm of the building. The air conditioning was excellent during the August heat, and the three-story unit was spotless and unique, with two large bedrooms and views of the ocean and a nearby church.I loved the upstairs bathroom with its volcanic rock shower and chose that room, though the downstairs suite—with its 15-foot ceilings and chandelier—was stunning. Each morning we enjoyed coffee on the rooftop patio overlooking Mount Etna, complete with a grill and plants for a relaxing setting.Laura is an incredible host who provided the most professional check-in I’ve had in over 10 years of rentals. She sent a detailed video, gave excellent recommendations, and responded quickly whenever we reached out.The location is ideal: just a 5-minute walk from a lido Laura recommended, close to other beaches, with a grocery store a block away and antique shops and cafés even closer. By the end of our stay, we truly felt like locals and were sad to leave. I would recommend Mori’s House and Laura without hesitation—she made our Italian dreams a reality, and we can’t wait to return! ![This was my favourite bathroom.
