I stayed for 3 weeks in Azzuras place and the stay was very much to my liking. Even in November I could enjoy coffee or breakfast on the large terrace in the morning sun. The bed is large and very comfy, normally my back troubles a little but no problems here, I slept like a baby. Some guests wrote about a little noisy enviroment which I can't acknowledge at all.
Mainly I came to sicily to work remotely and as a computer programmer I am depending on a fast & stable internet connection which was given on any time (Netflix, watching movies, gaming - no problem).
Places to eat or shop are near by. The beautiful old center of catania is easily reachable on foot, though the walk is a bit longer. But even on the way there are nice bistros, restaurants and there are alway things to discover.
The host is eager to provide information on the city, where to go for good food or a nice cocktail bar. Also good tipps for day trips where provided like where to find nice beaches and so. The communication was very good, almost instantly and always helpful.
In the offseason Catania is almost a quiet, very nice city. No problems finding a parking space for the hired car, nor wainting lines on museums or churches.
All in all a very relaxing, enjoyable stay! I already miss strolling over the piazzas, having an aperitif, gelati or one of the little sweet cakes. Hope to do it again!!
