Amazing rental!
If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. Francesco and Francesca have put a lot of effort into this rental, and it shows. Check in was super easy, the place was conveniently located and accessible to different areas in Giarre and Catania. The place was spacious, gorgeous, and very clean. The queen and single beds had memory foam mattresses and were extremely comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking items for any family meals you want to eat on the patio or at the long dining table. Having the washing machine and dryer was a significant plus for us! Francesco was very kind and informative and readily available to answer any questions. He also had a ton of recommendations for restaurants, cafés, nearby amenities (like groceries), and things to do. He is quite a lovely host and it was a pleasure to stay at this rental. The two full bathrooms are in their own area of the apartment so there are no ensuites, if that's what people are looking for. The apartment is so cool and so spacious! The pool and lounge area are beautiful. There is private parking in the courtyard. Although the apartment is only accessible by stairs, this was not a problem for us. This place was absolutely amazing and would definitely stay again. Thank you again to Francesco and Francesca, we really enjoyed our stay!
