Antonella & Milo
In the heart of the historic center of Catania, in front of the splendid maritime scenery of the port, stands Oblò. A modern accommodation facility a stone's throw from the sea but inside the city, where you can breathe in the sea breeze before immersing yourself in the vitality of the central streets. All rooms are inspired by modern naval cabins and are equipped with every comfort: self check-in, private bathroom with emotional shower, parquet, access with electronic key, WELCOME BREAKFAST every day in your room with jam, biscuits, brioche, juice, kettle, coffee/cappuccino maker, fridge, flat-screen TV, WIFI, heating and air conditioning. Furthermore, some rooms have an external balcony with sea and city views. At Oblò you take advantage of self check-in: arrive when you want and access the structure with the personalized codes of your booking. It is possible to book excursions and experiences at your arrival or even better before your stay, get in contact!
HI! We are Antonella and Milo, the owners of Oblò, and we welcome you aboard our bed and breakfast! We are excited to host and meet our guests from all over the world because we believe in the importance of travel and discovery! We love to travel (Antonella is a professional Travel Advisor) and when we stay at home, we like to make the stays of our guests special, who we warmly welcome "on board" our bed and breakfast in front of the port of Catania and in the city centre!
Its strategic position allows you to reach on foot the main places of tourist interest but also the station, the port and the urban and extra-urban bus stops. The train station is only 500 meters from the BnB; in just 10 minutes on foot you will be in Piazza Duomo and the Teatro Massimo Bellini is just 600 meters away. In the surrounding area you will find everything you need for your stay: restaurants, bars, pubs, pubs, mini markets, pharmacies, car/scooter rental. We are also a stone's throw from the sea to enjoy a relaxing seafront walk or spend a day at a beach establishment 500m from the property.
