Firstly, Vicenzo is such a warm and welcoming host, great communication throughout my stay and the run up to arriving. The room was huge, stunning view of etna from room and the breakfast every morning was a perfect mix to start the day right. I read a few previous comments about the area, but as a woman travelling alone I always felt safe. Yes there’s alot of rubbish around but hey - it’s everywhere in Sicily! I found it really handy being so near the bus and train station which are only a quick walk and I used alot for day trips to other towns (Noto and Taormina). This was a great base for exploring further out of Catania, I enjoyed my stay so much and can’t wait to return to see more of Sicily. I will be booking here again for sure. Grazie Mille Vicenzo
