We were a group of 8 enthusiasts for Greek and Roman antiquity and we choose Sicily to combine this interest with Italian Dolce vita. The flat of Giancarlo was within good walking distance to any interesting sights in Catania, also not far from the Airport, the Port and the train station. There are a lot of nice trattorias and Bars in the neighborhood. We can highly recommend Giancarlo's flat if you travel as a group.
Giancarlo was always helpful with sightseeing tips or other organizational matters.
The only deficit are the almost non-existing cooking facilities. It was such a pity that we could not pack our shopping bags at the fish or vegetable markets and cook some meals ourselves.
