The property is on the first floor of a historic building without an elevator and stands out for its perfect balance between modern design elements and period architectural details. Upon entering, a refined hallway leads to the living area, which includes a spacious independent kitchen, fully equipped with a dining table, refrigerator with freezer, oven, and coffee machine. Adjacent to the kitchen is a bathroom complete with a shower and hairdryer. The apartment also features a second independent kitchen, equipped with a smaller dining table and access to a balcony. The sleeping area consists of three bedrooms, all air-conditioned and equipped with wardrobes. The first bedroom has a queen-size bed, TV, and private balcony.

You will find your reservation details within the Guest Area of Wonderful Italy. The city of Catania boasts a splendid historical 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 Sant'Agata (the city's patron saint), the Bellini Theatre, 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 culinary delicacies of the Catania tradition, such as arancini (yes, here they are called masculine!), iris (fried or baked stuffed bombs), Olivette di Sant'Agata and brioche with granita. Try them all! And for lovers of barbecued horsemeat, a symbol of Catania's gastronomic tradition, a must is Via del Plebiscito, a street in the historic center flooded with the unmistakable scent of the embers always burning. Another not-to-be-missed stop just outside Catania is the coast and in particular the Gulf of Acitrezza, an enchanting place that with its Faraglioni stacks was chosen by Giovanni Verga as the setting for his most famous novel, 'I Malavoglia'. Catania Fontanarossa Airport is easily reached in 15 minutes by car, while Catania Centrale Station is 2.3 km away. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the apartment: Free WiFi ### Kitchen -

Jun 2, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy Disliked: Location #### Loved Catania but apartment not great. Communication and checkin was easy. Easy walk to several restaurants and attractions. Beds were comfortable and air conditioner worked fine. Apartment seemed pretty clean—although bad sewer smell from one of showers. It is on a pretty sketchy street though. So much trash lining the sidewalks. (But if you walked 3-4 blocks away it seemed fine). We did a great winery tour, fantastic trip to Mt Etna, and a relaxing day at the beach in a nearby town. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a4ae8569-467d-4225-adc5-2e9111a857fa-1748864590514.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7f086ce5-560d-4967-991b-2b76d12ad82d-1748864576584.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d7d8f3cf-52e4-4160-843c-96260dbf586d-1748864590054.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Michelle H. Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jana S. Sep 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Check-in, communication, location We had a check in time of 3:00pm and waited for 30 minutes for someone to show up and let us in, a quick 5 minutes tour of the apartment and he left.The area is surrounded by motorcycle shops and a tire store so the noise was incredible. There were no wine glasses and just a little espresso pot for us to make coffee, for an apartment that can house 9 it was missing a large coffee unit. There was no bottled water, etc. Garbage including a sofa was thrown all over the sidewalk outside our unit when we arrived and not picked up until the day we left. The inside is nicely done but too many things were lacking in the service area. ##### Jana S.
