Great location for views and a direct entrance for swimming in the sea. Breakfast great also. Only problem 5th floor rooms were a bit tired and in need of refresh. My colleague stayed on floor 1 and his room was magnificent. Quite a long taxi ride to get to the centre, but a free bus provided .

Alla Giudecca
I loved this hotel. Stairs are not my friend and even though there is no elevator they had a ground floor apt for me. The people are lovely. I would stay here again. It’s an historic building and area thoughtfully cared for which speaks to my heart.

Very clean room with all what you need for your stay. Danilo is excellent host with all information you may need for your stay in Catania area. He arranged for us early morning (5am) transfer to the airport. I would definitely recommend Vivendo apartments.
