What a wonderful time we had with the Costa family! We had a lovely en suite room in their luxury apartment right in the heart of Catania, with a stupendous view of Mt Etna from their fifth floor balcony. Vito immediately pulled out a map and showed us the route to all the nearby historical and amazing places to visit and restaurant recommendations. We are so happy that we opted for the home cooked Sicilian meal lovingly prepared by Alessandro's mom ($30 euros per person and worth every penny!) Parking on their block was a bit of an issue during the day but easier after 8pm. All the sights are 15-20 minutes walking distance from the apartment, so we only needed our car for a drive to Enta, about 30 minutes away. They have an amazing view of the smoking mountain from their fourth floor balcony! Such a wonderful and warm family, who delight in sharing their home and city with travelers! We would highly recommend the Costa family for anyone wanting to explore Catania!
