The accommodations were excellent! Everything is at your fingertips. The host was so pleasant and cordial. If you had any questions or needed help within the city he answered promptly and quickly and never let you down. In fact, upon arrival, the host was so gracious he asked if the accommodations were okay and if there was anything that was needed. We could not have asked for better location within Catania or a better flat. It is centrally located to all of the awesome spots for walking to the major icons. If you are on the fence about this location and another I highly recommend that you choose this one. The pictures do not do this place justice. Here's why. This is a beautiful place. One walks up marble steps, enters into a Fourier, where there is a stationary bicycle awaits to get your exercise on. There are umbrellas awaiting in the event it rains and you forgot to pack yours. You proceed down a few marble steps, into another area, where you could add a bed to accommodate more guests. Walk down a few more marble steps where you enter the main area. There is a beautiful bathroom with a bidet, beautiful designed architectural ceilings. Next you enter into the bedroom area. The hallway there has sufficient amount of space to hang up everyone's clothes. Next you enter into the bedroom with very shabby chic furniture. The bed is very comfortable. You open the windows to the courtyard which is very nice. Leave the bedroom and proceed into the living room, which is huge. The balcony open into the Opera Courtyard. There are two little chairs and a table for you to sit out and watch the tourists as they pass by and veiw the historical Opera House. The couch is comfortable there's a TV if you choose to watch it and a fireplace that is electronic. Next you enter into the dining room, that would accommodate 8 or more guests attached to a fully loaded kitchen with refrigerator, oven, dishwasher, all the utensils and cookware, everything you need to cook a beautiful meal. Each room has the architectural ceilings. The floors throughout are all marble with beautiful decor in he living room. Lets forget the washer to do laundry should you need to do so. The best part about these accommodations is the host. he started out with ensuring that the place was sufficient and that everything was satisfactory. It was above satisfactory. Next, he sent us an email with recommended restaurants, places to visit, things to do. Please take his advice because every one of the suggestions we did, was outstanding! Compared to the ones we did not choose from his list were just ok. my favorite was Razzmatazz & Eat Pizzeria and FUD for the restaurants. across the street from fud restaurant is an apothecary that is strongly recommend you go enjoy for the most delicious wines you will find in Sicily. On the final day...
