Absolutely loved this apartment! It was clean, spacious and comfortable and very well decorated with beautiful antique furniture. There are excellent views from the front balconies to the sea and Mt. Etna. Directly in front of the apartment, the views are of the tennis courts (great to watch!) and of the lush green public gardens across the street. The view from the kitchen balcony was towards the Ancient Greek theatre. There is traffic noise but it goes very quiet after midnight, we slept very well there! Communication with Chiara was easy and she offered us many suggestions for places to eat, visit and park (Lumbi car parking was very good and easy to get to/from the apartment). She was also very responsive when we had some confusion finding the correct door.
