The Silver Lava is an amazing residence in an amazing location that will allow you to experience all that Catania has to offer. We were met at the apartment by Marianna who introduced us to the location and all of what it had to offer. We cannot say enough about Marianna. From the first moment we met her we felt at ease. EVERY ONE of her recommendations for restaurants and things to do in the area were incredible. When you stay at Silver Lava, insist on meeting this amazing woman…. You will not be disappointed. You will be staying steps away from the fish market, the Cathedral, Via Etnea (the shopping street), the amphitheatre and much much more. Experience the local lifestyle and the amazing people of Catania.

The apartment is furnished and decorated with great taste and has all the amenities one might need while on a city break in Catania. We especially enjoyed cooking in the spacious colourful kitchen while listening to some chill tunes through the sound system. The bathroom was impeccable, too, with the rainfall shower having several modes as well as dialable mood lighting, not to mention the hot tub in the bedroom, which was the cherry on top. We were greeted at the apartment by a very friendly and helpful lady who explained all the key things about the apartment and gave us some tips about what to see in the neighbourhood.

Nothing really.

The filtered water (including sparkling) on tap was very welcoming during the hot weather. The facilities in this apartment were fantastic. Washing machine was a bonus. The spa bath in the bedroom was gorgeous, the decor and furnishings were very appealing, all exceeding our expectations. There are 4 rooms in total which really gives you a lovely sense of space. Highly recommend for a stay in Catania!

Nothing

It was a wonderful vacation. Catania is charming in its own way. The apartment is perfect right in the center of the old town. Everything inside is very comfortable and cute. Maariana is a very kind and radiant host. She gave us very good advice about places to eat. A great bonus is the drinking water purification system in the apartment. We always found a place to park our car in the street next to it. Thank you so much for helping us to have a wonderful time to Sicily.

Beautiful apartment in a side street of the historical centre. Great location for discovering the old Catania and still getting a great sleep. Beautifully renovated with wooden floors and lava tiles in the bathroom. Marianna gave us amazing tips for restaurants and trips, we felt truly welcome there. Thank you!

That we had to go home.

Location was perfect. Very close to great restaurants and places of interest. The cleaner was there to hand over keys and tell us about the property etc. She was really lovely and had great food recommendations. All correspondence was easy and natural.

Really nothing to dislike about this property at all. It's worth noting that there isn't currently a lift, and the apartment is a few floors up. This was not an issue for us at all, but would pose a problem for those with accessibility needs.

The location was great. It is very close to the old two of plaza Catania. The apartment is located on a quiet street in a lively neighbourhood with many restaurants and bars within 5 mins walk. The apartment was spacious and could easily fit all four while still being comfortable.

We had a little incident where the host did not provide enough bed sheets and pillows because the host mixed up the number of people we had. However, the host sent someone to fix the situation quickly.

The host Marianna was the best! She is very kind, open and helpful. She helped us find a safe spot to park our car near the apartment and gave tips on where we could eat and which local dishes we should try. The apartment is simply amazing. It is a great spot to relax thanks to the spa-like shower, bubble bath and comfortable bed. The street is quit although it is not even a 5 minutes walk away from the fish market. Overall, we had an amazing time.

Marianna arranged to meet us (through WhatsApp messaging) when we arrived. Marianna was extremely helpful and very friendly, as well as providing useful local information

All good

The host Marianna made us feel very welcome from the first contact. She recommended a few great places to eat in the area and she was always prompt and available to reply to any request. We will definitely stay here again 👍🏻

This is a very nice apartment to stay 👍🏻 Just keep in mind the fact that you have to use the stairs up to the penthouse level:
