We are honored to be the first group to review the beautiful Ferrari Mansion. While there were no other reviews when we first booked, we loved the location of the home, the layout of the rooms & the fact there was a large community area. The pictures of all the rooms painted a beautiful picture & we decided to take a chance! We started communicating with Giuseppe & from the first exchange, we felt we had made a great decision! He was quick to respond & gave us so much additional information, including helping us park our 9-passenger van! He suggested wonderful places to visit, including some of the places along the waterfront. With each message, we learned so much to make our time in Catania more memorable! When we got to the apartment, we were met by Giuseppe & Marina, given a tour & explained everything we needed to know about our stay. Everything was beautiful, beds VERY comfortable and towels were provided for all of us, including bathroom toiletries. The modern kitchen was stocked & there were snacks, bottles of water, coffee, paper towels AND wine! Our host had thought of everything! Another perk - Giuseppe arranged for us to have a free breakfast of croissants & coffee at a cute bistro right in the Piazza Duomo - a couple block walk from the apartment. We went there every day & all we can say is the cream-filled & Nutella croissants were delicious! We walked everywhere & loved coming back to relax! Thank you, Giuseppe, you made our time in Catania even more special!
