We stayed a week there. The plane was late and we were supposed to arrive at the hotel before 9pm. We arrive at 1am next day and the owner was kind enough to wake up to open the door. That was a nice start, thanks a lot for that ! Via Cruciferi is probably one of Catania's oldest streets, dating back to the Roman Empire. Today it is pedestrian, so very quiet, yet in the city center. Via Etnea is a couple of minutes away, the duomo a few minutes more. Excellent place really. The house... an old palazzo, to sure of the epoch. The bedroom ceiling is painted, just to make you happy when you wake up. Very large room, with a balcony, wardrobe, plenty of wall plugs to charge mobiles, computers etc. Even a large table in the center of the room for card players :-) The breakfast, excellent, expresso, cappuccino... various kinds of cheese, bread, home made marmalade, hams, fresh orange juice,... that's just what we ate. The lady knows her city and is willing to help. Which places are worth seeing, which guides to go to walk on the Etna (that was an experience), what are the good, real Sicilian restaurants around etc. Excellent week, and this place was part of it. Thank you Teresa !
