The property is situated right near all of the city’s major attractions. Additionally, the area is home to numerous traditional trattorias where you can enjoy the excellent dishes of Sicilian cuisine. The suite features a cosy and comfortable open-concept kitchen equipped with everything you need to prepare a delicious breakfast (coffee machine, kettle, microwave, coffee pot, toaster, etc.), a large double bedroom, and a bathroom with a whirlpool tub. Of course, all rooms are equipped with a TV, air conditioning, and free Wi-Fi. The property also provides all linens, pillowcases, bedspreads, comforters, tablecloths, etc. In addition, the suite features a beautiful terrace with a panoramic view from which you can admire the entire historic centre of Catania, Mount Etna, and the city’s harbour. The carefully renovated apartment is situated in a strategic location; in fact, it is close to several points of interest, including: Villa Pacini, the Ursino Castle built by Frederick of Swabia, the picturesque Pescheria market, Catania Cathedral, Palazzo Biscari with its adjoining museum—a magnificent example of Sicilian Baroque architecture—the Elephant Fountain designed by architect Giovan Battista Vaccarini, the home of the renowned Catania-born musician Vincenzo Bellini, and more.Near the property is a station for the metropolitan public transit system, whose lines provide excellent connections between the city and all neighbouring provinces. The “Le Ciminiere” exhibition centre is also easily accessible. Shuttle bus 457 runs from the airport and will take you right to the property without needing a taxi.
