This is an attractive loft style apartment which is spotlessly clean, secure, comfortable, well equipped and decorated very tastefully, also the WiFi is excellent! Set in beautiful gardens with ancient olive trees and views of the sea and port area and of course the very welcome swimming pool.
The location is great and the perfect base for exploring Catania and further afield. There are two bus stops very close by, the lower one seemed to be the best although the bus routes were a bit confusing. Via Etnea is not far by bus or foot, this long straight road will take you all the way down to the historic centre with Borgo metro station part of the way down and lots of shops, cafes, restaurants and takeaways. If you walk uphill from the apartment you will find a Lidl and McDonald's but before this if you take the second right turn past the toy shop and walk to the bottom of that road you will find a nice little local high street which has all sorts of shops, cafes, bakeries etc.
Discretely hosted by Maurizio who is very friendly and helpful and has a very nice family.
We had an amazing time, Catania is a wonderful city to visit and also has good bus, metro and rail connections allowing easy journeys to places such as Taormina and Syracuse.
To sum up - we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend the LOFT EST in VILLA PITTANERI
