Riccardo made our 4 days journey in Catania a wonderful passtime. We loved our stay in his "settecento" appartment in the center of this beautiful and lively town. He encouraged us to visit Etna in a rather active period, assuring us that it is not risky at all. From Catania we admired other fantastic places: Taormina and Siracusa on two "one day" excursions. We rented a car, though this is not a must. Sicily is wonderful in winter time!!!😊
