Anna and Gaetano and their lovely B&B were a great find. They met us and directed us to their home which is about 10 minutes outside of the Catania town centre. You do need to drive into town to experience the night life but its absolute silence when you get home and sleep is not interrupted by cars blaring music or any street noise whatsoever. They have a beautiful home which is an oasis of walled gardens. It was very peaceful and quiet and kids loved the big swimming pool. Gaetano couldn't have been more helpful and Anna is a superb cook. After a long day they cooked dinner for us, a feast my son and daughter would say, and it was the best meal we had in Sicily. It was a true taste of the island. We were disappointed that we didn't stay longer and rather than changing lots of apartments as you travel around you could easily use it as a base to explore the east coast from Noto and Syracuse in the South to Messina and Taormina in the north and Enna further inland. They will happily organise excursions at very competitive prices, and our guide Mirto who looked after us during a half day tour of Mt Etna was helpful and informative. I know that with more time we would have taken much more advantage of their assistance as it makes the visit even more relaxing. And if you just want to sit by the pool and read in the sun its a great spot. We would happily stay again and enjoy their house and hospitality.
