(3 days)

The house can accommodate up to 6 people: 2 in the bedroom with a double bed, 2 in the twin/double bedroom, and 2 in the living room (French sofa bed). The kitchen is equipped with everything you need for daily use, there is a bathroom (bathtub/shower/bidet/toilet) near the master bedroom and another bathroom (shower/sink/bidet/ toilet) in the single/double room, and the laundry room is equipped with a washing machine.
Wi-Fi is available throughout the house for internet access, along with digital and satellite TV; in addition, heating and cooling are provided by heat pump air conditioners, and there is also a natural gas stove.
Breakfast is not provided, but it is possible (for guests only) to book dinners featuring traditional Sicilian cuisine, with costs based on the selections.

Historic Center of Catania
The historic center is a hub of popular culture (the historic markets of Peseria, 100 m away, and the “Fera or Luni” district, 700 m away), shopping (the major stores are located along Via Etnea, 300 m away), and nightlife (“Movida”) (bars and restaurants within 250 meters).
The apartment remains quiet, as it is located just outside the heart of the fish market and the “Movida,” the entrance to the house is on the main street, but the bedrooms face a small alley used only by residents.
Ursino Castle (one of many built by Frederick II of Swabia) is 70 meters away; the bus stops for Plaja Beach / Scogliera / Acicastello / Siracusa / Palermo are located in Piazza Paolo Borsellino (formerly Alcalà), 250 meters away. The stops for Acitrezza / Taormina / Messina are located near the central train station, 1.5 km away.
Catania and Interland
Catania, located in eastern Sicily on the slopes of Mount Etna, is highly regarded for the Baroque architecture of its historic center, designated an UNESCO World Heritage Site, and for its beaches.
The Catanese coastline ranges from the golden sands of Playa, rich in tourist facilities and swimming areas (accessible via the AMT Line D) to the more rustic beach of San Giovanni Li Cuti, which instead features a rocky lava base (accessible via the AMT ‘534’).

Just a few kilometers away, you can take a dip in the crystal-clear waters of Aci Castello (accessible via the ‘534’ AMT), where you can admire the ruins of the 16th-century Norman fortress, or Aci Trezza (accessible by car) with its faraglioni (the Cyclops Islands) and the island of Lachea, a nature reserve of great geological interest.

Capo Mulini is one of the most beautiful seaside resorts along the entire coast (Fondachello, Giarre, Santa Tecla, Fiumefreddo, etc.), where you can enjoy fresh fish and seafood all the way to Taormina, the Sicilian pearl known throughout the world.

Mount Etna (accessible via the AST line or the AST bus—get off at the central station), with elevations exceeding 3,000 meters, is the highest active volcano in Europe. You can access its magical scenery from two beautiful Sicilian towns, such as Nicolosi and Zafferana.
During the winter, the climate is always mild, similar to the lower Mediterranean regions, even though it’s possible to ski on Mount Etna. In the summer, temperatures don’t usually exceed 33/34 degrees, as the sea and Mount Etna help keep temperatures at these

A convenient place in downtown Catania

The host, Massimo gave up his home for the 4 of us for 3 nights. The house was not modern but it was just what we were looking for. It was close to the city center and we got the "living like a local" experience that we wanted. It was easy to walk to restaurants and markets.
5 / 10·May 2018
Massimo met the four (two couples) of us at the railway station and took us to the apartment. He was very thorough in explaining the features and was also very helpful with information on markets, supermarkets and sights. The apartment is enormous and easily accommodated two couples. The kitchen is very well equipped and the living areas are very comfortable. We enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it.Virginia and Ralph, Melbourne, AustraliaDiana and Jean, Paris, France
