My boyfriend and I stayed with Andreina and Vito for 2 nights and we were so glad we did! The apartment was clean, stylish and recently renovated. Located in the middle of the city, just a short walk away from the main Piazza.
Andreina, Vito, their son Alessandro (and their 2 dogs too!) were very kind hosts. As soon as we arrived, Andreina had a snack prepared, ready for us on the the kitchen table. The entire family is very passionate about Catania/Sicily, their excitement is contagious, and they have loads of local tips to share.
If possible, do try to have dinner with the family during your stay. Andreina is an amazing cook, and Alessandro a great conversationalist. You'll learn a lot about Sicilian culture and food!
