About this property

Sicilian Experience • 170sqm Historic Center

Sicilian Experience in Catania’s historic heart: a bright, spacious 170 m² home on two levels with six balconies, ideal for couples, friends and families. Step outside between churches, the Roman Amphitheater and Via Etnea; the Cathedral is 6 minutes away, the metro 1 minute, with cafés and restaurants all around in the most central area. From slow balcony breakfasts to vibrant nights out, photos show the spaces and reviews speak clearly: here you don’t just stay, you live like a true local.

This bright 170 sqm home is spread over two levels inside a charming historic building, on the second floor. As soon as you walk in, you feel the space: two cozy living rooms where you can relax, work remotely or share a glass of wine after a day in Catania’s streets, and six balconies that open onto the lively historic center – here you don’t watch the city, you feel it.

There are two double bedrooms with A/C and TV, plus a comfortable sofa bed available from the 5th guest, making it ideal for couples, friends and families traveling together.
The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need to prepare breakfast and simple meals, inviting you to enjoy slow Sicilian mornings at home before diving into the city.

You’ll find two bathrooms: one with a shower, and a second, recently renovated service bathroom (without bidet and shower), functional and convenient next to the upstairs bedroom. The apartment has A/C in every room, fast Wi-Fi, washing machine, drying rack, iron and hairdryer – perfect also for longer stays.

Please note: the apartment is on the second floor of a historic building, accessible only by stairs, and is not suitable for guests with mobility issues. Outside, the vibrant life of Catania surrounds you: churches, voices, cafés and restaurants – an authentic Sicilian atmosphere, not a silent suburb.
The photos give a faithful idea of the spaces and details you will find: what you see is exactly what awaits you.

The apartment is on the second floor of a historic building, with no lift.
Access is via a wide, regular internal staircase with comfortable steps and small landings; for this reason, it is not suitable for guests who cannot walk or have serious mobility issues.

Guests have exclusive access to the entire apartment, both levels and all balconies.
The staircase is typical of historic buildings in Catania’s center: wide, solid and easy to walk, part of an authentic and characteristic setting.

*******FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN*******
The apartment is designed to ensure comfort and safety even for the little ones. A deluxe travel cot with mattress and linens, a high chair for meals, a shatterproof baby food set and a 150 cm bed rail for children aged 3 and up are available on request.
Every detail has been taken care of to make you feel at home.
The photos faithfully show what you will find inside.

********GUARDED PARKING*********
For those arriving by car, there is a paid guarded parking lot just 7 minutes walk from the apartment. It is also located in the heart of the historic center, so reaching it becomes a pleasant walk through the streets of Catania, ideal for starting or ending the day calmly.

The apartment was amazing, the pictures don’t do it justice and extremely clean. The location was perfect right in the center of the city. Gilda was wonderful and always available. It was a great stay.

Wonderful Apartment and Host

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this apartment with our 2 and 4 year olds. The apartment was very centrally located and easy to walk to main attractions and restaurants. It was clean, spacious and beautifully furnished. Our kids loved all the space to be able to run around when "home." There is no elevator in the building and it's located on the 3rd floor but our host was gracious enough to meet us there upon arrival and help us upstairs with our bags. Car park is approximately a 10 minute walk but there is plenty of parking and this wasn't a problem for us. There is street parking but it's difficult to locate. Our host Gilda was extremely helpful and communicative with us to ensure our stay was comfortable. Gilda went above and beyond by providing several amenities in the apartment such as soaps, lotions, welcome gift, etc, such that it felt like staying in a boutique hotel. Additionally, there were easy to use child locks on the cabinets to keep our nosy 2 year old out, which was fantastic for us! Our kids also loved that there were 4 TVs in the apartment that they could be watching something different in multiple rooms. We'd definitely stay here again if we ever visit Catania again.
