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 a wonderful stay at Ele’s place. It is a beautiful view over the sea and the perfect location from which to explore. There are maybe 15 stairs up from the parking area (you will need to find your own parking before a certain time of day, but we were off season so it wasn’t challenging). It’s also only an 8 min walk into Taormina proper town, where all the restaurants are. The shopping areas are just beyond that - so expect 8-20 min walk to anything from the home. The beds are super comfy. The pigeons coo in the morning but that will be true anywhere here. Ele was super responsive and flexible with our needs. We will definitely be back!

We had an absolutely fantastic time staying at Federica’s place. From start to finish, everything thing exceeded our expectations. Fabulous view from the apartment.

Gianluca was a tremendous host, the place was perfect for us and the views from the terrace are amazing. We also appreciated the little things like having plenty of bottled water, plenty of coffee, etc. Also, their restaurant right below the unit had the best food of anywhere we ate. We would definitely stay here again

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.

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.

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!

Such a great find - The view is amazing! Massimo is lovely and couldn’t have been more helpful during our stay. 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.

We loved Sara's apartment. it has a lovely homely feeling. Close to everything and no issues with anything with the apartment. Highly recommend.

An ideal base to explore Taormina and Etna from. The rooms were large, and the welcome pack of food and drink was very much appreciated. Such a beautiful view and the jacuzzi made it perfect.

Apartment is worth recommending! Clean, private and in a great location (City centre, close to all great restaurants). Chiara gave us a clear instructions and replied super-fast when we had some problems! We had a great stay! Fully recommend ❤️

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!

Really nice, very spacious apartment! The location is unbeatable— a two minutes if that from the elephant statue. The host communicated very well and gave us very detailed instructions to check in. There was coffee and essentials in the kitchen, and everything worked as expected!

The host is very friendly and very responsive. The place is very clean and with great view. We had great time and definitely will stay here again in the future.

I had an amazing stay! Although the location is extremely close to restaurants, it’s very quiet. The room was uncomfortable and decorated to feel serene and peaceful. The host was so kind. I felt very safe as a solo traveler. The view and large windows were worth the entire trip to Catania! I’d stay here again.

The apartment was spacious, immaculately clean, and very comfortable. We only had one day to explore Catania so the location was perfect. Many restaurants within walking distance and we appreciated the recommendations. Communication was excellent, kind and proactive. The beautiful Baroque church nearby and lively market right below the balcony were highlights we enjoyed. We would definitely stay here again!

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++
