Vegan friendly! Francesca was the best AirBandB host I have ever encountered. We were totally lost trying to find her place and Francesca magically appeared at the window of the rental car when I was trying to call her. She welcomed us and gave us a thorough tour of the property. This included advising us on where to purchase vegan products locally (Cristaldi) and the extra touches of leaving some wonderful vegan products for us to start our few days off with (vegan croissants and yoghurt, etc.). We found renting a car in Catania extremely stressful for a variety of reasons and there appears to be good public transport at the nearby airport (including buses to Palermo) and within the town so we recommend that you taxi here in order to enjoy the property and local sights. The town is too busy late into the night for our liking (not sure if COVID-related or normal) so the thick inner blinds/doors helped to shut out both the light and the noise. The rooftop terrace was our favorite area; we used different chairs at different sections to create different atmospheres including looking over to the top of the local theatre group that was performing a couple nights. Although we found the bed too hard, the property was huge and had everything we needed to cook (including ingredients we thought we were going to have to live without) and entertain ourselves (two TV's and speakers which we didn't even use in the end due to getting distracted by hanging out on the small terrace each time we looked at them). Interesting books, cute decor, safe property, good air flow and varied views from every window and terrace. If you're staying in Catania, don't miss an opportunity to stay at this really wonderful house.
