Piazza Europa Landscape by Wonderful Italy

It was a challenge to be in touch with the property manager. We arrived slightly early but I had been trying to communicate that to the property manager more than 24 hours in advance. There wasn’t a/c in one of the bedrooms. No laundry (there was a discrepancy on the Vrbo listing and the other wonderful Italy listing). The water pressure in the both showers was very low. There were no hand towels for the bathrooms. The garbage process was clear enough, but when we followed the videos instructions and shut the back gate, we got locked out of the property. None of the keys on the key ring worked to open the back gate. We walked around the property to get back to the front. I would not stay here again.

This property was clean inside and was pleasantly supplied with a coffee maker. The beds were comfortable but the pull down shade in the master BR was difficult to regulate. The view was fantastic with the sea from the front and Mt. Etna from the back.

We had a great stay.The apartment was close (by car) to the centre and to the main roads going north and south. Supermarket was approx 6 min walk. Free parking close to the apartment was a problem though and a hassle every evening. Paid parking was no problem but then you had to get up early unless you had the right parking app, which we didn't. Would be a nice idea for the owner to advise on. But make sure you rent a small car. Apart from that everything was great.

The property itself was fine. The neighborhood was not a goid neighborhood. The parking was a nightmare. No onsite parking. I asked before hand and was told lots of parking. Not so true. Pleanty of permit parking. If no permit you are subject to towing away. Not any fun. If you do not have a car you will be ok as long as you have a taxi ot uber. On our first day the host was late bring us the keys. When we got to the apartment the door know fe off and it wS a hadtle to get in. I made the propert management aware immediately. No one came out to repair the door the 3 days we were there. The kitchen door was not locked that led to ourside and you had to leave property unlocked. That was not what we expexted. Im not sure i would stay there again.

Large and bright apartment with a great ocean view on one side and view of Mt. Etna on the other. Excellent communication with the rental company. Both of the showers leak a little making the floor wet after. Plenty of hot water which is more important. Only 1 set of keys. This became a real inconvenience for us on several occasions. 4 Adults for 8 days seldom do every outing together. Occasionally one couple wanted to do something other than what the other couple wanted to do so we had to coordinate comings and goings. A second set of keys would have been nice. Loud music well into the night could be heard most nights from the bedroom on the ocean side of the flat. If you are a light sleeper, take the other bedroom. There is no coffee maker. There is a kettle, but not even a French press. Location is pretty good. 1/2 hour walk from central station but really close to Europa station. 40 minute walk to central Catania . A few decent places to eat right by the flat, but a plethora of nice eating spots within a 20 minute walk.
