"Bit unsure on arrival as the entrance was behind a big pot leading to a communal yard, but that seems to be the norm in catania, rang the buzzer and got let in. Taken to the room no lift so could be a problem with heavy bag or walking difficulties. The room itself was very nice , spotless but the big thing for us was when we opened the door shutters the view was the hustle and bustle of the street below from the small balcony. Straight across the street was Bellini park , many many cafes and shops underneath and when you look to the right you could see Etna covered in snow large as life between the buildings, what a great sight. We love to people watch so was great for us. If you want it to be really quiet, maybe not for you.
We had a great time savio cafe I underneath served great arancina and granita."
