Wow! Valentina met us at the apartment with a smile! She gave us a guided tour of the apartment and terrace and made sure we had everything we needed. The apartment itself is AWESOME! We found ourselves right at home! The amenities are spot on - very modern with an eclectic feel. There's nothing like being able to wake up in the morning to enjoy homemade breakfast and coffee on the terrace - which we did every morning - while enjoying the view of Etna as we planned our day & the art around the space was so entertaining and beautiful! The realism... Understand Catania! If you're looking for metropolitan, this is not the neighborhood. Casa Mine is located in a living, breathing neighborhood with parents and children walking to school, Nonnas hanging laundry out the windows & mopeds whizzing by in the morning with people on thier way to start the day. THIS IS what makes Casa Mine a gem! We would definitely recommend Casa Mine to any of our friends and would stay there again!!
