Giovanna was a kind and friendly host-- attentive but also gave us our space and privacy. The apartment is extremely centrally located and to say that the views are amazing from the terrace simply doesn't even do the panoramic vista justice! (The sea, the theatre, Etna-- you can see them all from the room!) This is the perfect place where you'll be close to everything but also be able to retreat to the terrace and escape the crowds.
