Vincenzo's place is a prefect place to base yourself for exploring Catania. It's only about 100 meters down the hill to the fish market, and just on the other side of the market is the first of the linked piazzas that form the heart of the old city. The unit is very nicely renovated and well stocked and comfortable, and Vincenzo and Stella are very helpful with any questions that come up. The unit is 1st floor, which means about 20 steps up from the ground floor and there isn't access to the elevator, so there is a need to carry bags up. Parking is possible but fairly complicated, so best to not have a car, which isn't needed anyway for stays within the city. We would definitely try to stay here again if we ever have an opportunity to visit Catania again.
