When we first arrived at this place we immediately regretted not having booked a longer stay! This place is as good as it gets (in our opinion it looks even better than on the photos): Giuseppe is very friendly and communication was super easy.
The location of the appartment is right by the sea in a safe and clean area with everything you need in close distance (pharmacy, groceriestore, restaurants, etc.). It is super accessible for short drives to the city or further up north for amazing beaches and small villages by the sea. For our trip to Etna we didn't even have to drive through the city. In the morning there are a lot of people out for a run along the coast or something alike so it's a nice area to work out in the open.
We were lucky enough to meet some of the other residents and they were super nice and welcoming. The building is beautiful: marble staircases, wooden walls, pretty appliances, etc. The appartment itself is so carefully and beautifully decorated and very clean. The best part about it however is the breathtaking terrace: it runs along the entire appartment (except for the bathroom). There's a dinner table with chairs, loungechairs and pretty flowers/plants. Because the appartment is on the third floor and faces directly the ocean, literally all you see when sitting on this terrace is the sea and parts of the southern coast of Catania. Neither the street nor the other buildings are visible. It is absolutely fabulous. Plus: if you leave the windowblinds open, the first thing you see when waking up in the morning is the ocean and if you leave the doors open in the evening you can fall asleep to the sound of the waves :) We loved it here!
