La Maison al Fortino è un'accogliente abitazione situata nel centro storico di Catania. Adiacente ad un sito storico culturale di grande prestigio: Porta Garibaldi, il Fortino, per i catanesi 'U Futtinu", è stata costruita nel 1768 in occasione delle nozze di Ferdinando I delle Due Sicilie con Maria Carolina d'Asburgo Lorena. A questo si deve l'altro suo nome, Porta Ferdinandea. Segna l'ingresso d'onore dalla zona ovest della città di Catania. Percorrendo l'adiacente Via Garibaldi si giunge nel centro storico di Catania: Via Etnea, Piazza Duomo, Porta Uzeda, che costituisce l'uscita verso sud dalla piazza del Duomo e collega il seminario dei chierici con il palazzo arcivescovile e la cattedrale di Sant'Agata, Monastero dei Benedettini, Castello Ursino, ecc La zona centralissima in cui è ubicata la struttura offre diversi punti di intrattenimento come bar, ristoranti e gelaterie: potrete gustare i piatti tipici catanesi e siciliani, oltre una vasta gamma di locali internazionali. La "Piscaria" (mercato del pesce) nella zona di Piazza Duomo e "fera o luni" nella zona di Piazza Stesicoro (lungo la Via Etnea) rimangono le zone caratteristiche dal punto di vista culinario
