Villa delle Palme in Aci Trezza

Relocating to Catania, I was looking for a temporary place to stay until permanently housed. I stayed there for over 2 weeks and my review is pretty much acknowledging the other reviews. Apartments are rundown with old furniture and virtually no maintenance. Our toilet seat broken, shower head broken, oven range fan broken, cheap accessories. The pool area is the only bright spot. The pool is large surrounded by palm trees and nice long chairs. However the water is murky and u must pay to use the whirlpool area. 1 euros for 3 min.
The garden areas are woredown and old, wifi signal almost inexistant, and to our dismay we found a lot of starving sick cats on the premises un cared for. The owners live on the premises in a house, husband is extremely rude with no manners. Complete sociopath, treats customers like trash on top of being cheap and dishonnest. He tried to charge me 15 euros for an old shower head that was leaking and literally chased us out when I refused to pay explaining it was broken in advance.
Lastely walking out of the residence is at your own risks as there is no side walks and heavy traffic. It is not waking distance from anything worthy. No beach nearby either. Save your money and avoid at all costs...

Very bad host. Do not recommend to go there. I’m not sure if the bathroom was cleaned after building in approx 1970. A lot of black areas in the shower and in the bathroom. In the shower there was a old tape from any visitor before. Washing machine was not working. Pool area is nice but a lot of green areas in the pool. Jacuzzi is not a jacuzzi but nozzles in the pool. you pay 1€ for 3 minutes. The drive from the highway is long and very bad street conditions. The worst thing is that the host faked our rating in air bnb because they do not accept how bad their service is.

I would rate it 0 stars if I could. The ac didn't work so it unbelievably HOT. Good thing we brought fans with us. The beds were extremely uncomfortable and the toilet wouldn't flush. We were originally going to stay for 4 nights but because of how awful our experience was, we decided to leave early. We only got a partial refund even though we only stayed one night. We ended up waisting hundreds of dollars on something we were not satisfied with.
