This charming apartment is spacious & minutes to centro storico Catania. The whole apartment is furnished with an eclectic mix of Italian baroque & 60s/70s eclectica. The huge marble table on the terrace overlooks a central cortile, complete with a rustic tower. There are cascading plants everywhere; truly an amazing spot to linger over morning caffè or afternoon appertivi. Some other reviewers seem a bit put off by the neighborhood, which is a typical city neighborhood with all that implies: beautiful street art, amazing local cafes, along with more illicit activities. Use the common sense you would in any metro area & you will be fine. There are beautiful old lights that brightly illuminate the streets around 7:00 each night. I never felt unsafe, even walking around after dark. That being said, Catania is a port city; torn down & rebuilt several times, it is crumbling & graffitied. That is its charm. Definitely some 70's lower east side Manhattan vibes. Pasticceria Di Dio, was my go to breakfast spot. Their iris di pisctachio are not to be missed; trust. Humberto was always available, but no issues ever came up. One of the best spots I rented this year, davvero.
