Amazing, place, Amazing host. a definite YES..They even took us to visit their lovely city, 3 hours of being our tour guides. Every thing about this place was excellent. If you wish to visit the east part of Sicily, ( Taormina, Catania, Ortigia, it is best to stay in Catania and STAY at Angela and Salvo's appartment.. Yes you see Etna, and yes you see the ocean.. It really was wonderful..
