We absolutely loved Francisco and velias beautiful apartment in Catania! The pictures really do not capture the magic! It is a lovely old building which has been restored beautifully with lots of love and decorated with incredible taste... And there are amazing views Of the old city and mt etna from the balcony and rooftop terrace... Unfortunately we didn't get to meet veila and turi but Francisco was the perfect host! He is truly a special human - so helpful and friendly with recommendations for places to visit and eat! He even met my family at the airport and helped us hire a car, find a park and carry all our luggage upstairs :)
We cannot recommend this place enough - we all decided that Francisco and the apartment were the highlights of Catania!!
