Valentina, has a spacious, bright, open plan style apartment right at the foot of the Etna, just outside of Catania. Valentina welcomed us with eggs from her own chickens and homemade bread and jam. The apmt is on the ground floor of the house with a terrace in the front and in the back you can explore the citrus and olive groves. Only the street noise might be an issue for somebody sensitive to such noise. The house is at a fairly busy road connecting some suburban villages with Catania. But the apmt has double pane windows and at night there is very little traffic. Overall we had a very good time at Valentina's place.
