The city of Catania can boast a splendid historic center, protected by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Its architectural wonders, but also the liveliness of the popular markets, the wild beauty of Mount Etna, and the clear sea of the coast will captivate you.

The Cathedral of St. Agatha (the city's patron saint), the Bellini Theater, the popular markets, Via Etnea, the splendid Benedictine Monastery (home of the University's Department of Human Sciences), and Mount Etna are just some of the wonders of this city.

Of course, it is impossible to leave out the traditional culinary delights of Catania, such as arancini (yes, they are called masculine here!), iris (fried or baked stuffed bombs), Olivette di Sant'Agata, and brioche with granita. Try all of them!

And for lovers of barbecued horsemeat, a symbol of Catania's gastronomic tradition, a must-stop is via del Plebiscito, a street in the historic center flooded with the unmistakable scent of the ever-burning embers.

Another not-to-be-missed stop just outside Catania is the coast and in particular the Gulf of Acitrezza, an enchanting location that, with its stacks, was chosen by Giovanni Verga as the setting for his most famous novel, "I Malavoglia."

The accommodation is located a short walk from Via Etnea, km. 1.9 from Piazza Duomo, km 1 from Villa Bellini and 650 meters from the Botanical Garden of Catania. Subway stops are 300 meters away ("Borgo" station) and 450 meters away ("Giuffrida" station).

Catania Fontanarossa Airport, connected to the city center by a bus service, is also easily reached in 20 minutes by car, while Catania Central station is 3.2 km away. The property offers an airport shuttle service for a fee.
