About Chez Elle

Hi, I’m Francesco Marino — Owner & Host

I’m 26 years old, a PhD student and former full-stack developer. I bought my first apartment at 19 and started this hospitality business at 22 — driven by curiosity, independence, and a passion for creating spaces that feel like home.

I’ve visited 44 countries and love connecting with travelers from all over the world. Hosting at Chez Elle is my way of sharing Catania’s energy and beauty. I keep things simple: clean, comfortable apartments and fast, friendly communication whenever you need help.
