We had a fantastic time at Giulio's. Giulio is very friendly and welcoming. He lives below the flat with his family so there is always someone available to help if necessary, although we didn't have any problems at all. The flat itself is beautifully decorated, well-equipped and spotlessly clean. It is located in an ideal location to explore Catania - a few minutes stroll from the main sights, excellent restaurants and bars and useful amenities like a supermarket. It is also very easy to use local public transport. We explored much of eastern Sicily from Giulio's flat and would strongly recommend it as a base.
