Valentina is an excellent hostess. Her place is centrally located in Catania on Piazza San Clemente, near Via Etnea, the principal thoroughfare in Catania. Two blocks away, on the town's main square, you will find the fish market, the main cathedral, the elephant statue and fountains, and 1,000 of tratorias, restaurants, cafes and gelaterias. Bus station to the beach is one block away. Valentina hooked me up with a fantastic tour of Mt. Etna. Wow! Cannot beat the price! Thanks!!!!!
