We arrived in Sicily early evening on a Saturday and got our hire car. Book a small one as you’ll need to nip in and out of traffic (think kamikaze pilot, driving in Sicily is not for the faint hearted! !)
Pietro met us in the road and guided us through the secure gate and gave us a different apartment from the photos but it was lovely. Very spacious with some wine and water and some basics to keep us going until we go to a supermarket the next day.
Saturday evening rush hour from the airport into Catania took a very long time so allow this into your ETA. (About 50 mins for a 3 Mile journey).
Also, the satnav is essential as Pietro’s apartment block is right in the centre and down many narrow one-way streets.
The view of Mount Etna from the roof terrace is simply stunning. It’s just a shame we couldn’t visit as it was erupting! (But apart from some dirt on the car it did not affect our trip).
The apartment has everything you could wish for although some wine glasses would be nice rather than glass tumblers but we still tried to drink Sicily dry of their lovely red wine.
There is a lift that is slow but very welcome after a day walking around the city.
Thank you Pietro,
Happy New Year
