We spent five nights at Annalise’s lovely apartment. We found it to be exactly as described by the host and guest reviews. Comfortable and well equipped. The eighth floor views are great and you will quickly find yourself immersed in the lifestyle of this less hectic area of Catania. If you like to feel part of things then the surrounding area is worth exploring on foot. Great delicatessen and patisseries within 5 minutes walk of the apartment. You can easily get to the historical centre by foot - will take around 25 minutes. Use the train - 5 minutes walk away to Europa stop- which will take you to Taormina or Syracuse. We were very happy to return to the apartment at the end of a day’s sightseeing. Visit Catania - the locals are kind, generous and helpful. Stay at Annalisa’s - she deserves top rating as a very super superhost.
