The city of Catania boasts a splendid historic center, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its architectural wonders, the lively local markets, the wild beauty of Mount Etna, and the crystal-clear sea along the coast will captivate you. The Cathedral of Saint Agatha (the city's patron saint), the Bellini Theater, the vibrant street markets, Via Etnea, the stunning Monastery of the Benedictines (home to the Department of Humanities at the University), and Mount Etna are just some of the city’s many attractions. Of course, it’s impossible not to mention the delicious culinary specialties of Catanese tradition, such as arancini (yes, here they are referred to in the masculine form!), iris (fried or baked pastries filled with cream), olivette di Sant’Agata, and the classic brioche with granita. A must-try! For lovers of grilled horse meat, a symbol of Catanese gastronomy, a visit to Via del Plebiscito is essential. This historic street is filled with the unmistakable aroma of constantly burning embers.

Another unmissable stop just outside Catania is the coastline, particularly the Gulf of Acitrezza, a stunning location chosen by Giovanni Verga as the setting for his most famous novel, *I Malavoglia*, featuring its iconic sea stacks.

To ensure an even more comfortable stay, the accommodation includes a private parking space, a valuable convenience for those who wish to explore the city and its surroundings without any worries. The perfect solution for those seeking a unique experience, blending comfort, elegance, and a prime location.
