Prior to our trip Serena was quick to respond and happy to help with anything we needed. Her husband Tato picked us up from the train station and drove us back to the aT the end of our trip. €10 euro each was which is much cheaper than a taxi. When we got to the apartment, Tato gave us recommendations for his favorite restaurants and sights as well us talked to us about a tour company we had booked for mt etna. Very charming and helpful couple!
The apartment was very clean. They had included for us a bottle of wine, breakfast pastries and cookies, and there was an easy to use espresso machine which was a life saver more than once! A fairly quick walk to anywhere we needed to be. 10 minutes to be right in the heart of Catania. The shower does run out of hot water after a bit but I’ve found that to be common in Europe. Not a huge deal.
Overall, we loved staying here and would definitely return if we’re ever back in Catania.
Thanks for the hospitality!
