We had a wonderful stay in Ginellas beautiful apartment. It is very stylishly decorated and very clean and fresh having been recently renovated. There is plenty of room for 2 people and the 2 terraces are great to enjoy the outdoors and have really nice rooftop views. Ginella has thought of every detail in the apartment and it really felt like a home from home for us, having everything we needed. My clothes got creased in my suitcase and Ginella was so helpful and brought an iron and board around in no time.
The apartment is very well located and just a few minutes walk from shops, bars, restaurants, the Duomo and central square. It's couldn't be easier to get around Catania from here. If you are coming by air the airport bus drops you very close too (get off at Corso Sicilia) and is just €4.
Communication with Ginella was great, she was always on hand to answer any questions, responding quickly to everything asked. She gave us lots of useful tips as to where to go, what to do and places to eat and drink.
We loved Sicily and Catania was a great base to explore the east coast and all the key spots around there. There are some city beaches nearby which can be easily accessed by bus (D) . A car is helpful though to explore the rest of the island. You need to have your wits about you when driving but getting out of the city, to see some of the beautiful places around like Taormina, Syracusa and Ortiga is definitely recommended.
We could have easily stayed longer in Sicily and Ginella apartment was the perfect base and really made our stay extra special.
Thanks Ginella.
