❣️Dear guests,
we are happy to welcome you to our place and welcome you to one of the most fascinating cities in Sicily. Catania is a perfect blend of history, culture, good food and sea... and awaits you to be discovered!
📜 A bit of background
Founded by the Greeks in 729 BC, Catania has grown at the foot of Etna, the highest active volcano in Europe. Over the centuries it has been dominated by Romans, Arabs, Normans, and Spaniards. After the devastating earthquake of 1693, it is reborn in Sicilian Baroque style, now protected by UNESCO.

📍 What to see absolutely
• Piazza del Duomo: the beating heart of the city with the Cathedral of Sant'Agata, patron saint of Catania, and the lava stone Elephant symbol of the city.
• Via Etnea: the main street, perfect for strolling, shopping, and enjoying a coffee overlooking Etna.
• Roman amphitheater and Greek-Roman Theater: fascinating testimonies of ancient Catania.
• Benedictine Monastery: One of the largest monastic complexes in Europe, now university headquarters, rich in history and architecture.
• Castello Ursino: medieval fortress with exhibitions and temporary exhibitions.

🌋 Etna: an adventure between fire and sky
We recommend a hike on Etna, even just to the Rifugio Sapienza. From there you can take the cable car or book a guided tour to explore craters and lunar landscapes. Wear comfortable shoes and bring a jacket, even in the summer!
⸻
🛍 Shopping and local markets
• Via Etnea & Corso Italia: for boutiques, big brands and elegant shopping.
• Mercato della Pescheria: near Piazza Duomo, an authentic experience among stalls of fish, fruit, spices and street food.
• Piazza Carlo Alberto Fair: the largest market in the city, colorful and folkloric, open every morning.

🍽 What to eat in Catania
You can't leave without trying:
• Arancini (yes, in Catania it is called "arancini"!)
• Norma pasta, with fried eggplant and savory ricotta
• Granita and brioche for breakfast, in many tastes: almond, pistachio, lemon...
• Cannoli and cassatelle with fresh ricotta
You'll find all this and other Sicilian delicacies at our barrel restaurant next to the room!
