I had a wonderful stay with my family at Elisabetta'a apartment. The description of the domicile is quite accurate; it is very convenient and clean. We were also kindly greeted. Very close to the city center but the district south of the apartment, along the via Plaia is rather rough. The access to the city sandy beach is quite difficult and one cannot have a nice stroll there. Beaches are mostly private. However, Catania is a beautiful historical city, nicely situated and close to some gorgeous spots like Aci Castello, Aci Trezza, Syracuse or Taormina.
