Simona e Luca’s apartment is a beautiful and spacious Italian home that feels exactly how you imagine living in Italy to be. The neighbourhood is lovely and picturesque with mt Etna and mountains all around you as you sit on the balcony (there’s 3 balconies to choose too). The amazing woman Mara who lives downstairs is the most warm, loving, caring and kind person one can meet. She is very accommodating, is always asking if we need help, gives advice and makes us feel like family. She took us to destinations such as Taormina and alcantara gorges. She even made us amazing Sicilian pasta when we were hungry. Mara and her son took us to Catania city centre and showed us around the churches, etc and were very giving. My girlfriend and I felt emotional after leaving her. We love mara. We will stay here again when we come back.
