Where to start? I always like to go overboard and it wasn't different when I booked Giovanni's and Francesca's apartment in the very centre of Catania, Piazza del Doumo. The narrow building is actually incorporated into a palazzo and is overlooking the Piazza del Doumo.
The apartment is compact, but well equipped, and you have all mod cons that make your stay enjoyable. The place felt like my own home and I really liked it becasue it was spotless! The pièce de résistance is the terrace on the top that offers far reaching as well as close views of Catania. I stood every morning around sunrise time on the open terrace and captured the colours and the shapes of sunrise over Catania with my camera and iPhone.
If you have the financial means, please do stay in this apartment becasue it is really fantastic and you won't regret it. It so fulfilling to wake up each monring or retire each evening while watching the sunrise/sunset on your own comfort.
Many thanks for Giovanni and Francesca for letting me stay well over check-out time - left the apartment at 19:30pm on Sunday - and for helping me to carry down my heave suitcase from the 4th floor!
