The house is situated in a secluded complex of beach houses, holiday retreats and garden plots (Campo Di Mare). It is a dive into true sicililan life (at the time we were probably the only foreigners there). The spacious front porch is covered by a grapevine roof that provides very welcome shade and cooling during the ten straight days of 30+degrees celsius heats we spent there. Although the house is quite old Pierluigi is gradually modenising it, which is most obvious in the bathroom and the new kitchen stove. After a 3-5 minute walk you can reach a wild beach used by the locals. Most of the time we chose to walk another 5-10 minutes along the beach towards Catania City Center to the more well maintained commercial beaches with cafe, parasols for rent and beachvolleyball courts. Close to the house there are two shops/pizzerias/bars (closest ca. 50m from the house) for basic shopping/food at quite affordable prices (not many tourists). For larger shopping there is a large shopping complex by the airport (ca. 15 min drive car). Just outside Campo Di Mare about a 10 min walk from the house there is a stop of a busline, which leaves every hour and takes you to centre Catania (St. Agata Cathedral) in ca. 30 min from 1€ per person. Last but not least as has been said by others before ... Perluigi was a great host. Always available and friendly, when we wanted him to answering our requests through airbnb, mail, phone and whatsapp in no time to our full satisfaction. We (2 littes one, 2 parents and 3 grandparents) had a really good time.
