Our stay in Paolino's apartment was a very pleasant experience. He was an excellent host, along with his wife, Rosaria, and his son and daughter. They are all very welcoming, jovial and helpful. They made us feel at home and offered us a lot of information and tips about Catania. One day, Paolino and Rosaria even took us on a tour of the city, showing us the main points of attraction. We are also very grateful to Paolino for driving us to the train station so early in the morning on the departure day.
Soon after your arrival, you will also become friends with Felix the cat.
The apartment has more than enough space for a couple and could easily accommodate 2 children as well. It is very clean, well furnished and decorated with much taste. It also remains cool enough in mid-summer. The garden, large and beautiful, is made available to you by Paolino. It is a perfect place for relaxation and offers you on one side an unforgettable view of Etna.
The location is not in the center, but you can make use of 3 public buses that stop nearby, at 50 meters distance from the apartment. They are not very frequent though, so a car is advisable.
Based on our very positive experience, we strongly recommend Paolino's apartment to other visitors in the future.
