My friend and I travelled to Sicily for a short break at the beginning of April.
On arrival Luca was very accommodating to our request to check in early which meant we could start exploring the city as soon as we arrived. He always answered my messages extremely quickly. I would highly recommend Luca as a perfect host.
The location was great and we soon got our bearings with the help of Luca and my very able map reading travel companion!
We only visited the restaurants that were recommended to us by Luca as the first one we visited was so good we thought we would stick with his advice. He has lots of cards in a little box in the apartment for suggestions on eating out which is very useful.
We planned what we would visit in advance and Catania was a great base to do this from as it is only a 15 minute walk to the train station or about 5 minutes to the underground. It is very cheap to travel by train to Taormina and Siracusa both of which are well worth a visit. Also the airport bus is only €4 each way and the journey takes about 15 minutes.
The apartment is fairly small but has everything you need for a short stay in the city. It is very reasonable to eat and drink out so Luca’s place is a perfect base to sleep, shower and relax after a busy day in beautiful Sicily.
