Salvo's apartment was an absolutely great place to stay in Catania. I could not expect anything better. It is located on a high floor so it might be not easy to climb all those stairs, however in exchange for that, you're finding yourself on top of all surrounding districts, with the vulcano seen from the one side, the sea from another, and red roofs underneath. So there is a lot of sun, and almost no noise.
The apartment consists of 3 floors, 2 of them have a bedroom and a bathroom, and the top one is the kitchen/dining room with a terrace. Beds are high quality and comfortable with fresh linen, showers are gas-heated so work perfectly in winter, and the kitchen is fully equipped including an oven and a washing machine.
I also liked the way the apartment is decorated. Not just a generic decoration but a tasteful Italian style with things like hand-made mosaics.
When I'm back to Catania, I'm definitely going to consider Salvo's place again.
