It all started with the best host ever! Cinzia answered all my questions immediately and we had a perfect visit to the beautiful city of Catania. I hardly know where to begin....the excellent location in the historic district (spotlessly clean and great balcony views) and the convenience of walking everywhere. She supplied us with a thoughtful first morning breakfast across the street, but even better was having her arrange for transportation from the airport. Arriving in a new country, at night, after 40 hours of travel: what is better than having your name on a driver’s sign?
She was at the apartment when we arrived, and explained groceries, best pizza restaurant, etc.plus the street was filled with excellent local restaurants.
We had a Ryan Air problem at the end of the trip, and she kindly helped us with another driver.
It was a short walk to the train station for day trips to Taormina and Syracuse.
I recommend WhatsApp for communication. It was very convenient.
And I recommend Cinzia and Catania for a wonderful vacation.
