We really enjoyed our stay in Catania - it's a great base for visiting lots of places on the East coast easily, including Etna and Taormina.
The apartment was lovely and exactly as described. The balcony in particular is incredible with a view of the sea and Etna - it's a great place to relax in the evening. There is a supermarket and restaurants really close by - we would definitely recommend going to the fish bar (I think it is called 'Fruits of the Sea' or something) which has really fresh fish bad is always packed!
Velia and Massimo, who manage the flat, were really helpful with local tips and tours, make feel use of their knowledge!
I would definitely recommend hiring a car as the buses from the flat are pretty unreliable but other than that it was a great flat and we had a great holiday!
Thank you!
