Silvia is the sweetest host; she welcomed us to the flat later than the usual check-in (and during a dinner with her family across the road) and came to say goodbye, was constantly giving us her recommendations and doing what she could to make sure our anniversary and trip was special, and she also checked we got to Palermo OK after we left. She was super flexible about us booking last-minute at the airport, given the recent flight cancellations, which we really appreciated. Grazie mille, Silvia! 😘 x
The space itself is light, bright, and has everything you need plus some kind, handy and welcome extras. The bed was super comfy and we were also grateful for the air conditioning. It was the perfect base for exploring the charming old town and Catania itself; also convenient for the train/bus stations for day trips and onwards travel. It is based in a lively part of town but that is a part of its charm and the blinds do a great job of minimising nocturnal noise. We loved sitting out on the balcony, people-watching and soaking up Catanese life.
