Stay on Via Etnea, the longest street in Catania: the one that connects the sea to the mountain, from the port to the foot of Mount Etna. On the first floor of a seventeenth-century noble building, between Piazza Duomo and Piazza Università, you are at the exact point where the city begins: just outside the door you have the entire historic center within walking distance. Not only that: a house of art awaits you. Each room bears the name of a legend of Catania — Gammazita, Uzeta, the Pii Brothers — and the works on the walls, by the Sicilian artist Maria Tina Aldisi, make each room unique. In the living room, a historic and immense hand-painted frescoed vault welcomes those who enter. Three bedrooms, each with its own character: two have balconies overlooking Piazza Università, while Gammazita has a private terrace and an original vaulted ceiling, under which you can sleep surrounded by the history of the building. The neighborhood is also lively in the evening: that's why the rooms are equipped with double internal window frames, which allow you to rest in peace without taking anything away from the charm of the period rooms. Breakfast, included, awaits you every morning under a charming vaulted ceiling. A family-run B&B where you sleep within the city's history, a stone's throw from everything. The space Three double bedrooms, each with its own legend and view. Uzeta and Fratelli Pii are the two Deluxe rooms: balcony overlooking Piazza Università, city views. You wake up with the breath of the historic center below you. Gammazita is the most secluded: a private terrace overlooking the inner courtyard, quieter and more intimate, with the dome of the Abbey of Sant'Agata peeking out. The choice for those seeking privacy in the heart of Catania. Each room has its own private bathroom with toiletries. Equipped with air conditioning (hot/cold), smart TV, minibar, tea kettle, and automatic coffee machine (the latter in the living room). The walls hold the works of Maria Tina Aldisi: in each room, a unique piece designed to tell the story of Catania. The neighborhood is lively even in the evening: for this reason, the rooms are equipped with double internal windows, which reduce noise and allow you to rest in peace, without taking away any of the charm of the period rooms. Guest access In addition to your room, in the living room you will find a refreshment corner available 24/7, with coffee, tea, and herbal teas. Water is always included: we take care of it, so you don't have to worry about buying it during your stay. There is also a reading corner for moments of relaxation. Breakfast, which is included, is served every morning from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. in the room dedicated to the legend of Colapesce, with a selection of Sicilian specialties made with local products to enjoy at your leisure, along with coffee, tea, herbal teas, and a machine with an automatic milk frother, so you can make a cappuccino just the way you like it. To be enjoyed at a leisurely pace. During your stay We are available for any needs.
