Francesca apartment is as described. Very spacious, clean, well appointed with a wonderful view and balcony in a beachside area outside of Catania. We loved exploring the local area including mount Etna and then sitting on the balcony eating food that we purchased locally and prepared ourselves in the kitchen. Francesca is a wonderful host with lots of information and advice on restaurants and places to visit. Very helpful with early bag drop off and check in.
Only one issue we had was the noise of people partying in the kiosk and car park area at the front of the apartment and motorcycles screeching down the road till early hours in the morning. Maybe this was a one off as we were there during republic day celebrations.
