If you want to stay in the heart of catania, this is the place to stay. The rooftop terrasse gives you an incredible birdeye view over the cathedral, the etna, the piazza with the elephant. You can even see the sea! Most of places of interest are in 5 minutes reachable, from the famous fishmarket to the antique theatre. Giovanni is an amazing host. Highly recommended. Except you don‘t like stairs.
