We had a wonderful experience with Velia and Francisco from my first interaction with them online through our departure from Sicily. I can't give enough positive feedback about our experience in Catania and this apartment!

Velia and Francisco were outside in the piazza beneath their apartment when we arrived, and they saved us a parking spot! They helped us inside with our luggage -- we were 4 people staying in the apt -- and had a cold bottle of white wine waiting for us. They showed us all we needed to know about their apartment, and then we shared the wine with them up on their lovely terrace. We stayed an extra night because we felt so at home. They even called us to let us know that Mt. Etna was erupting, which we were able to watch from their terrace!

I highly recommend staying at Velia and Francisco's place -- it really is your home away from home!
