Description
The ideal place for those who want the best of both worlds - the throbbing vitality of a city centre holiday whilst at the same time being able to relax with leisurely strolls along the sea front or in the Borgo - the old part of town - which is just a stone's throw away or in San Giovanni Li Cuti, the fisherman's port in the city centre. We are ideally situated for exploring the rest of this incredible island.
Catania is on the slopes of Mount Etna, visible from everywhere. Further afield, we are just 40 km from Taormina, whilst Siracusa is only 60 km. Acicastello and Acitrezza are 6 km or 10 minutes away - and even Palermo is only 90 minutes by motorway, whilst a whole day excursion to Agrigento is well worth considering. And we haven't even mentioned Piazza Armerina (75 minutes), Ragusa, Modica and Noto.
Children will love Etnaland (16 km) the largest water park in Italy with its marvelous rides, zoo and Dinosaur Park. The more adventurous can enjoy mountain walks on Etna, or even paragliding and adventure sports just 20 minutes away. Archaeological sites, whether prehistoric, Greek or Roman, are dotted everywhere and reflect the island's 3, 500 years of human inhabitation. Round us you can find restaurants, bar, a church, "pizzeria", bakery, multiplex.
We are situated inside a completely refurbished turn of the century building. The hall is well-appointed, with plants and liberty windows: all the rooms, spacious, light and airy, are equipped with an upper level of characteristic lava stone walls and timbered ceilings; private bath, air conditioning, heating, safe, fridge, Tv color LCD, phon, free internet link. Two rooms also have a terrace and sea-view; and the other two have a small balcony. Two are also furnished with kitchenette.
Warm furnishing and antique floor tiles in the corridor. Definitely the typical tone of a "charme residence".
Rooms are no smokers: is possible to smoke in balcony or terrace only!

I consider myself a fiery woman, always full of new ideas that I strive to make a reality, but at the same time grounded in reality. I love music, especially classical, opera and blues, and for the past couple of years I've become passionate about swing dancing. I also enjoy theater, cinema and reading. I love to travel and meet new people, always seeking to learn about their culture and country. I'm good at making connections and hosting people in my B&B is a delightful way to get in touch with "others". I love hosting friends at home and at the B&B, my desire is for guests to feel at home, that's why I pay attention to details to make their stay as comfortable as possible.

Area Piazza Europa
Located in the heart of the city, but just a few steps away from the waterfront and the characteristic village of San Giovanni Licuti. Easily accessible are Palacannizzaro, the Museum of the Sea, the Museum of Lava Stone, Cannizzaro Hospital, the Le Ciminiere Exhibition Center (the latter also on foot) and the airport. It is also an excellent starting point for visiting Taormina (40 km), Syracuse (60 km), and 6 km or 10 minutes from Acicastello, Acitrezza, and its sea stacks.
Moreover, the area is full of services, such as the church in the square, the bank, shops, take-out food shops, restaurants, and multiplex cinemas. We are also close to some university faculties.
