Alessia and her husband were extremely welcoming. They were the most gracious hosts and they made sure that we were completely comfortable (which included outfitting us with coats and socks and boots so that we were not cold on our trip to Mount Etna!) Her husband even drove us to the airport to pick up our rental car. They went above and beyond to make our stay in Catania a memorable and wonderful one. The home was impeccable and she even had fresh poinsettias on the kitchen table which added a special touch. The home was very clean, warm, and cozy (which we were grateful for because it was pretty chilly outside). I absolutely loved staying in their home and I will definitely recommend this apartment and will and plan to stay in it when I return to Catania! Thank you so much for a wonderful weekend Alessia!
