This is a great house, its old and in Italian style but that is the most charming about. It is very big, the beds are good and everything you need is available. The big terrace is perfect with a nice view on the garden. A very short walk to the beach and 15 minutes to center Catania. The community is very local but that is also an experience. Pierluigi is a very nice an punctial host with very fast communication. About the area. Don't go to the local bar/restaurant Bennys (around the corner). They have no idea how to handle tourists. You are treated like aliens or ignored. If you want to go to a beachclub, skip Capannine (the one closest by) overpriced and very rude staff. Walk a bit further for nicer places.
