A fantastically located apartment, opposite the castle in a lively area with plenty of restaurants and bars. It is traditionally decorated and furnished, spacious and had great aircon which was very much needed whilst we were there as temperatures had consistently been 32-35 C. The apartment has 3 balconies, two at the front overlooking the castle and great for people watching, and one off the smaller of the two bedrooms at the back, which means there's always one in the shade. The one at the rear has views to the Duomo over the rooftops and is above a charming small restaurant which sadly we didn't get chance to try, this time at least! The bed was very comfortable and there was very little noise, we slept very well! The kitchen is well equipped, it was a nice touch to have coffee pods supplied for the coffee machine and also a couple of bottles of water chilling in the fridge. The communication with the owners was excellent and we were met by Marianne who was extremely helpful in providing us with some great tips on where to go for the best arancini and ice cream, both a must whilst in Catania! I'll miss my breakfasts on the balcony with that amazing view!
