At 3 minutes by foot from Piazza Duomo and 1 minute from Piazza Teatro Massimo, this spacious apartment located in a historic building adds a unique touch of charm to your stay, offering a rare combination of comfort and history while giving you the chance to fully experience the city's vibrant nightlife. Thanks to the central location of this accommodation, the entire group will have easy access to all of Catania's most visited monuments. Should there be fewer than 5 guests, they will be able to choose the rooms in which to stay, and unused rooms will be closed; or to have the entire accommodation just book for at least 6 guests.
During your stay, I will be at your disposal for any of your needs and will be happy to advise you on what to visit, how to reach the most typical places where you can taste Catania's specialties and spend evenings among the clubs located within the areas of the Night Movida in Catania.
We are in the historic center of Catania, which is characterized by the conspicuous presence of historical-monumental assets of high architectural value. Among these it is possible to mention the Cathedral that gives its name to the square, the Palazzo degli Elefanti, seat of the city hall, the Elephant Fountain, the Porta Uzeda and the Achillian Baths, Amenano Fountain called by us the "Acqua a Linzolu", the Pacini Garden, the Badia di Sant'Agata, Piazza Università, Piazza Stesicoro with the Roman Amphitheater, which we call “Old Catania," the church of San Biagio, Sant'Agata al Carcere, Via Crociferi with the wonderful Baroque churches. Present in the same area are the Odeon, the Roman Theater and the Baths of the Rotunda in the immediate vicinity, the Ursino Castle located in Piazza Federico di Svevia (where the Baths of the Address are also located), the Porta Garibaldi in Piazza Palestro, the Villa Bellini. the Teatro Massimo Vincenzo Bellini in Piazza Vincenzo Bellini, the Pozzo di Gammazita in Via San Calogero and the charming Pescheria, which during the day is a wonderful and characteristic fish market and at night turns into the most frequented place of the Catanese Movida . Also not far away are the Church of San Nicolò l'Arena and the former monastery located in Piazza Dante. At the Civita is the Palazzo Biscari, owned by the noble Paternò Castello family, the largest private historic palace in the city of Etna. Other noble palaces stand along Via Etnea, Via Vittorio Emanuele II, and Via Garibaldi. In Via Etnea you can find the most traditional pastry and rotisserie shops where you can enjoy cannolo con la ricotta, granita with "brioscia co tuppu," almond pastries, Sicilian cassatas, arancini, various "tavola calda" and much more.
