The property is split into three levels. Guests will be staying on the first one, in a separate and absolutely independent situation from the rest of the house. Brand-new bed and mattresses, literally bought in November 2024. It is a highly comfortable bed, besides being recently bought. The lower part of the bed is a bit like the Japanese style, which saves space and, in a sense, it’s quite original for Italy. I’m pretty sure that guests will enjoy it. There is a clean and private bathroom inside the room. Cleaning products are available at any time for free. They are placed just outside the door, inside the orange curtain.
For hygienic as well as sanitary reasons, the washing machine is not provided and food is not allowed in the room. For longer stays, however, there is a very close self-service laundry, at a just 10-minute walk from the property, which complies with national health safety regulations. This is located in Via Filippo Corridoni, 20. The name is Wash Dry & Fold Service - Station 20.
If you choose this room, it means that you take a break from hostels. If you don’t choose it, that means that you are going to sleep with a good number of total strangers in a dormitory in town. It is up to you. But if I were you, I’d choose to have more privacy and safety, which is why I have created this room for you guys, being myself a well-travelled person.
A 5-10 minute walk from the central train station and the Alibus stop to and from the airport pick-up. The Stesicoro metro stop is literally 3 minutes away from the property. Catania international nightlife area, bars and restaurants of Via Gemmellaro and Via S. Filomena, is nearby, a 5-minutes walk. Museums and all the tourist services are all nearby. The Lidl supermarket is within 300 metres on foot. You’ve got everything within reach, inside a short distance.
Choose Room in the Historic City Centre instead of noisy hostels, dirty rooms, or far-away places. Choose it because the host is a fantastic person too. She speaks fluent English, Italian, Spanish, and French. Cheers.
If you cause damage to the property during your stay, you may be required to pay according to Property Manager’s property damage policy.

About the area
Catania, a city steeped in history and culture, lies at the foot of Mount Etna, Europe's highest and most active volcano. This juxtaposition of urban life with the raw power of nature makes Catania a compelling destination for travelers seeking a blend of adventure and antiquity.
The city's Baroque architecture, much of which was rebuilt after the devastating earthquake of 1693, is a highlight for any visitor. The Piazza del Duomo is the heart of Catania, where the symbol of the city, the Elephant Fountain, stands proudly. The Cathedral of Saint Agatha, with its impressive façade and rich history, dominates the square and is a testament to the city's resilience.
Catania's markets are a sensory overload, with the most famous being La Pescheria, a bustling fish market that offers a glimpse into the daily life of the locals. Here, the catch of the day is sold amidst shouts and haggles, and the atmosphere is as vibrant as the seafood is fresh.
For those interested in the arts, the Teatro Massimo Bellini is an opera house that pays homage to the city's musical son, Vincenzo Bellini. Visitors can enjoy world-class performances in a setting that is both opulent and intimate.
The city's proximity to Mount Etna provides a unique opportunity for adventure seekers. Guided tours allow visitors to hike on the slopes of the volcano, explore lava tubes, and witness the breathtaking landscapes that have been shaped by centuries of eruptions.
Catania's culinary scene is rich with traditional Sicilian flavors. Dishes such as pasta alla Norma, named after Bellini's opera, and the refreshing granita are local specialties that should not be missed. The city's street food, including arancini (stuffed rice balls) and cipollina (a savory pastry), offers delicious tastes for those on the go.
Beyond the city, the Riviera dei Ciclopi coastline beckons with its mythical rock formations and picturesque fishing villages. Aci Castello and Aci Trezza are particularly charming, with their dramatic coastal scenery and legends of the Cyclops.
In essence, Catania is a city where the past and present coexist harmoniously, offering visitors a rich tapestry of experiences. From its Baroque architecture and lively markets to the ever-present backdrop of Mount Etna, Catania is a destination that both captivates and enchants.
