Hosts were very nice, kind and available, came to greet us and give us the keys and explained the basics. They lived not so far in case of need. Gave us - even in advance a month before coming - good explanations on the area, which were useful even if we knew that area from previous trips (one of us lived in Catania in the past). Great location at La Scogliera di Catania, bordering AciCastello, inside a compound which was very convenient and super safe as there is a porter most of the times. Close to the house and compound several options to buy food, pharmacy etc.. Large portion of a villa with 2 floors, ground floor a large well equipped kitchen fridge freezer etc. and a large salon with dining table, above the 3 bedrooms and other salons. Very large terraces everywhere that can be enjoyed especially in the summer and are useful to dry clothes, refresh and change air etc.. Two bathrooms upstairs and one guest bathroom downstairs. Room very well sized with good storage space to hang clothes, We were three adults and 2 children. We slept in a double room with a large bed, the 2 kids in the children's room double bed and the third adult in a single bed in the third bedroom. More space to sleep is downstairs in the study part of the salon but we did not use it. As said, very nice kitchen, bathrooms made with nice solid bathroom fixtures, plenty hot water for showers, wifi perfectly functioning and lightning-fast. We had a car which could be parked inside the gates of the house or outside. A bit tricky to open the gate and a bit narrow the little path used to park if you have a large car, so generally we preferred to leave the car outside. This is a great place especially in the summer as very close to the sea (there is a tunnel to connect the compound with the beach but we did not use it), and very easy to go by car (I recommend hiring one in Catania) both to the historical center of Catania and the splendid villages of the coast AciCastello, AciTrezza, Taormina and many others etc. A few mosquitoes in the area due probably to the season, we bought some electric mosquito devices with liquid to plug to the wall. The place was clean (eg the floors) although some rooms were a bit dusty probably as there are too many objects and books and the house is actually quite large. Downstairs, especially in the morning, it was slightly humid, so useful to open to refresh the air. One bathroom had nice tiles that were a bit aged, especially in the shower, but this was just aesthetics, the bathroom was very practical with a large comfortable shower. In the large bedroom the sheets were clean but a bit tired, we would recommend changing with new ones and in general do a deeper cleaning and dusting of the whole house. Washing machine and dishwasher worked perfectly, kitchen was extremely well located and practical. In summary a very nice place to spend a few days in Catania. This place could be great - especially at the price we paid and with the optimal location - with a few little improvements.
