Our stay in Casa La Fenice was amazing. The home is lovely and exactly as shown in the photos. It's location is great as it is only a 5 minute walk away from the main square in Catania and the cathedral.
The best thing about staying at Casa La Fenice was Antonio and Marilyn who were perfect hosts. Marilyn collected us from the airport (and took us back) and gave us a tour of the home and the local area, showing us places of interest and some excellent places to eat. Antonio and his brother, Giuseppe, took us on excursions to Etna, Noto and Punta Secca which we would not have been able to see otherwise. These were some of the best days of our holiday, with Antonio and Giuseppe being great fun to be with.
We would advise anyone going to Catania to stay at Casa La Fenice. As a soon as we have saved up some more money we will be asking Antonio and Marilyn to let us stay there again.
