The roof top room had everything we needed and the balcony is wonderful - bigger than the room , gets lots of sun and has great views over the city and of Etna. It is well located for the piazza duomo, this does make it noisy from people and traffic until about 2am though.
The Main Street and piazzas are pedestrianised and lovely, with beautiful old buildings and churches everywhere. Away from these Catania centre has a problem with uncollected rubbish, litter, graffiti and traffic, and we had 2 very poor experiences with transport, one where a midday strike left us abandoned and another where we didn’t even manage to board the bus albeit tickets paid for.
However if Catania is where you want to go, then Lorena’s is a very nice place to stay. Lorena was very good with our arrival and departure times. Also try the Arancini - they are amazing.
thank you Lorena.
