Romina is absolutely the nicest and most helpful host that we have ever experienced. she was quick to respond and had loads of information to give. The apartment is a cute rustic Sicilian stile penthouse a bit from the city center so it's not so loud, with a big terrace where you can sunbathe, grill, shower and enjoy the view away from the busy streets of lovely Catania. there is a small supermarket right next to the apartment and around the corner you have a bakery and a takeaway pizzeria. you can see the roof of the main church and in the opposite direction you have a view of the volcano Etna. Everything you want to see in Catania is in about 10-15 minutes walking distance and there is ha huge outdoor market very close where you can buy everything from shorts to swordfish. We really loved staying here and would definitely stay here again if we come back.
