“The welcome here feels remarkably personal, with hosts who clearly love Catania and are eager to share its best-kept secrets, including, I hear, the location of the city's finest ice cream. I was particularly struck by the rooftop terrace, offering sweeping views that capture both the city and the majestic Mount Etna; the hosts can also expertly guide you on the volcano itself. It's the kind of place that makes a short stay feel far too brief.”
