The loft was perfect for our needs. Simple, clean and comfortable with the wonderful terrace. We used the buses to get around - they are few and you need to make sure you download the latest timetables from AST site. They may arrive early, on time or late (the bus for Catania on the day we left for airport was 23minutes early... luckily we were!). We bought food from the greengrocers around town, PAM supermercado, bakers, etc. Tutto Pizza is great, Miro does a good plate of pasta and more, and the tavola calda opposite is nice to hang out in, eat snacks, drink wine/beer, Miro does a good plate of pasta and more. Bus to Acireale recommended and Catania is fascinating of course.
