We had a lovely time at Velia’s place. It’s very nice - a large bedroom with a balcony (very high ceiling and lovely tiles), well equipped kitchen, a bathroom with a shower and a second floor that we didn’t use (there’s another bed there). The A/C proved a lifesaver, as even at night it’s pretty warm.
The location is great - close to the center, but in a small street without a lot of traffic. Unfortunately the scooters were noisy, even at night, but I think that’s something you can’t avoid in Catania.
Velia herself was very helpful - when we arrived, cold beers and water were waiting for us 😊. She sat down with us and a map of Catania and explained the best places to visit. Whenever we asked her a question, she promptly responded.
We recommend Velia’s place very much!
