What a fabulous introduction to Sicily and Catania, Giuseppina’s place was! If you are looking for what has to be the best location in the city, THIS IS IT! All of Catania’s major tourist must-sees are within easy walking distance. But you must step inside your home-away-from-home to appreciate the attention to detail that awaits you; tourist information and helpful tips, a well-equipped kitchenette and a thoughtful array of personal products are all waiting for you.
We’re struggling to find any negatives, but if pressed, it can be a little noisy on a weekend night; however, given the location, how could anyone expect anything else? Also, if you’re old like us, not great with e-maps, arrive in the dark, sleep-deprived and dragging luggage, don’t use the address to ask for help—just say “Piazza del Duomo” and all the kind locals will point you in the right direction. Once you find the piazza, stop saying “WOW!” long enough to find the fountain in the corner. Admire it, look over your right shoulder, take a dozen steps and you’re home!
We hope to be back.
Thanks for all, Giuseppina!
