This was the highlight of our trip to Europe. Not London, Paris or even Rome but the 2 days in Catania with Vito, Andreina and Alessandro. They immediately made us feel most welcome and went out of their way to ensure we experienced the rich culture of Sicily. Vito met us at the airport and provided a tour of the main historical features in route to their home. He additionally provided local recommendations and even assisted us in arranging excursions during our stay. His warm and patient demeanor was quite a surprise. Once we arrived at the residence we were welcomed by Andreina to a remarkably beautiful Mediterranean style home centrally located in the heart of the city. From the beautifully tiled, bright and comfortably common area to the exquisitely decorated quarters you will see not only what the pictures represent but even more. Alessandro has succesfully created an incredible destination. Here we were welcomed with light refreshments that included fruit and pistachio granita and brioche.... the best we ever tasted. Andreina not only keeps an incredible home but truly seems to want you to have a wonderful experience. We felt like just staying with them and enjoying their company and foregoing the sites at times. We would highly recommend this destination to truly experience Catania, feel very welcome, comfortable and experience Sicily at its best!!
