We loved Alda's place. We couldn't have been happier. It's light, bright and airy, central. We immediately felt at home. And Alda is an incredibly lovely and generous host. She was there to greet us on our arrival with cannoli, fresh fruit, cake and biscuits, and homemade lemon marmalade! There's hot water, a washing machine to do your laundry, the bed is incredibly comfortable, and the bedroom is a separate room to the living area, which is great if one of you wishes to sleep in, or get up early. The location is spot on, too. Right next door to the Palazzo della Cultura and a 3-minute walk to the stunning Cattedrale di Santa Agata and Fontana dell'Elefante. And in the alley beside the building is a fantastic book and wine bar. It was perfect. If we head through Catania again, this is where we'd hope to stay.
