Riva House has recently been the subject of a deep and careful renovation that has managed to elegantly combine the history of the interior and furnishings to current needs. Located on the fourth floor of an elegant building of the '900, served by an elevator, the apartment is spread over a single level and is furnished with quality materials and elements, which give the environment a unique style. The entrance, through a hallway, opens onto the living area, an elegant and large space which comes with a sofa, armchairs, a TV, a piano and the dining room, communicating through an ancient portal, furnished with antiques, table and chairs. An additional room boasts the kitchen, complete with dining table, chairs, and a small living area with TV cabinet and equipped with the main amenities, including oven, refrigerator, induction hob, Nespresso coffee machine and kettle. The four bedrooms, equipped with balcony, are large and spacious, air-conditioned, furnished with queen-size bed, closets and antique furniture. Two bathrooms with shower and a toilet, all with bidet, washbasin, bathroom linen, hairdryer and electric fan heater, complete the layout. The external veranda houses the laundry, including a washing machine, washing machine and dryer. \*Upon arrival or a few days before arrival it may be required to pay a tourist tax, which varies according to local regulations. You will find your reservation details within the Guest Area of Wonderful Italy. Riva House is located in Via Pola, one of the most elegant areas of the city, in a strategic position, a few steps from Corso Italia, the city’s lounge, 10 min walk from Piazza Europa, a short distance from the sea (lava cliff) and the characteristic seaside village of San Giovanni li Cuti. A few steps away are also the bus and metro stops. The area is served by numerous bars, restaurants, pastry shops, supermarkets, shops and clothing stores. Catania can boast a beautiful historical center, listed among the UNESCO’s World Heritage Sites. Its architectural wonders, as well as the colorful street markets, the wild beauty of Mount Etna and the crystal-clear sea of the coasts will literally seduce you. Among the others, the Cathedral of Sant’Agata (the city’s patron saint), Bellini theater, the street markets, Via Etnea (Catania’s most important and scenographic street), the wonderful Monastery of the Benedictines (home to the faculty of Human Sciences) and the Etna are really worth a visit. And obviously, it is impossible not to mention Catania’s culinary tradition, with its typical arancini (fried rice balls), the iris (fried or baked stuffed bombs), Sant’Agata’s olivette (typical sweets made of almond paste and colored in green) and the famous brioches with granita. For horse meat lovers, Via del Plebiscito with its typical street embers is really not to be missed. You can already smell the delicious aroma even from a long way off! An unmissable stop-over just outside the city is the coast, and more specifically the beautiful Gulf of Acitrezza, where in 1881 Giovanni Verga set his best known novel, “I Malavoglia”. The central station is 1.7 km away, while the airport is 7.9 km away. Catania Cathedral is a 38-minute walk away. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the apartment: Free WiFi ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Bidet - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table ### Outdoor areas - Balcony ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Elevator - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board - Limited housekeeping ### Location highlights - In the city center ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property;

Parking is difficult, but that's all over. Overall, a pleasant stay. ##### Lucy P. Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveler Oct 21, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Elegant, spacious and convenient What a great experience! The place is as stunning inside as it looks in the pictures. And the convenience! A block off Corso Italia where the hop-on-hop-off bus runs. A short few minutes walk to the Europa stop for the train and a few blocks' walk to the metro. Half a block to a grocery store. There is an old fashioned and tempermental elevator that could have appeared in an old Hitchcock movie. ##### Verified traveler Stayed 6 nights in Oct 2023 ## Explore a world of travel with Expedia - [Lodging](?equalTargetTab=tab-0) - [Flights](?equalTargetTab=tab-1) - [Packages](?equalTargetTab=tab-2) - [Cars](?equalTargetTab=tab-3) - [Vacation Rentals](?equalTargetTab=tab-4) - [Things to Do](?equalTargetTab=tab-5) - [Retroetnea - Retro-style Apartment in historic center with 2 connecting bedrooms](https://www.expedia.com/Catania-Hotels-RETROETNEA-Retro-Style-Apartment-In-Historic-Center-With-2-Connecting-Bedrooms.h111488308.Hotel-Information) - [Catania center apartment with Jacuzzi 6 beds](https://www.expedia.com/Catania-Hotels-Catania-Center-Apartment-With-Jacuzzi-6-Beds.h102379784.Hotel-Information) - [Ferrini Home - Riso 80](https://www.expedia.com/Catania-Hotels-Ferrini-Home-Riso-80.h89801539.Hotel-Information) - [The ROYAL SUITE DONINI](https://www.expedia.com/Catania-Hotels-THE-ROYAL-SUITE-DONINI.h49313044.Hotel-Information) - [Catania House single apartment sleeps 4 near the new Garibaldi](https://www.expedia.com/Catania-Hotels-Catania-House-Single-Apartment-Sleeps-4-Near-The-New-Garibaldi.h34114111.Hotel-Information) - [Lovely apartment in Catania (CT)](https://www.expedia.com/Catania-Hotels-4-Bedroom-Accommodation-In-Catania.h44286041.Hotel-Information) - [Ursino apartment with balcony by Wonderful Italy](https://www.expedia.com/Catania-Hotels-Ursino-Apartment-With-Balcony-By-Wonderful-Italy.h89649433.Hotel-Information) - [Palazzo dei Delfini 3](https://www.expedia.com/Catania-Hotels-Palazzo-Dei-Delfini-3.h106622888.Hotel-Information) - [Palazzo Arcidiacono - luxury holidays city center](https://www.expedia.com/Catania-Hotels-Palazzo-Arcidiacono-Luxury-Holidays-City-Center.h35142755.Hotel-Information) - [Casa Tilia - Bellini](https://www.expedia.com/Catania-Hotels-Casa-Tilia-Bellini.h106444412.Hotel-Information) - [Costa del Sole apartment 50 meters from the beach on the Catania coast](https://www.expedia.com/Catania-Hotels-Costa-Del-Sole-Apartment-50-Meters-From-The-Beach-On-The-Catania-Coast.h58024654.Hotel-Information) - [1940 Apartment](https://www.expedia.com/Catania-Hotels-Vrbo-Property.h114236797.Hotel-Information) - [House Benedettini's a Catania Centro tra il Monastero dei Benedettini e il Duomo](https://www.expedia.com/Catania-Hotels-House-Benedettinis-A-Catania-Centro-Tra-Il-Monastero-Dei-Benedettini-E-Il-Duomo.h105573399.Hotel-Information) - [Ferrini Home - Etnea Collection](https://www.expedia.com/Catania-Hotels-Ferrini-Home-Etnea-Collection.h35533510.Hotel-Information) - [The Apple Duplex by Wonderful Italy](https://www.expedia.com/Catania-Hotels-The-Apple-Duplex-By-Wonderful-Italy.h111639112.Hotel-Information) - [La Somnambula del Duca di Sarro](https://www.expedia.com/Catania-Hotels-Casa-Di-Charme-Nel-Salotto-Di-Catania.h75237536.Hotel-Information) - [Bellini Plaza Suite by Wonderful Italy](https://www.expedia.com/Catania-Hotels-Bellini-Plaza-Suite-By-Wonderful-Italy.h100694185.Hotel-Information) - [Catania Historical Escape by Wonderful Italy](https://www.expedia.com/Catania-Hotels-Catania-Historical-Escape-By-Wonderful-Italy.h108687748.Hotel-Information) - [La Terrazza Apartment](https://www.expedia.com/Catania-Hotels-La-Terrazza-Apartment.h91248774.Hotel-Information) - [Via Etnea Cozy Apartment With Balcony](https://www.expedia.com/Catania-Hotels-Via-Etnea-Cozy-Apartment-With-Balcony.h76803579.Hotel-Information) - [Flights to Catania](https://www.expedia.com/Destinations-In-Catania.d6052963.Flight-Destinations) - [Catania Vacations](https://www.expedia.com/Catania.d6052963.Destination-Travel-Guides) - [Car rentals near Catania](https://www.expedia.com/Destinations-In-Catania.d6052963.Car-Rental-Destinations) - [Catania Vacation Rentals](https://www.expedia.com/Destinations-In-Catania.d6052963.Vacation-Rental-Destinations) - [Things to do in Catania](https://www.expedia.com/Things-To-Do-In-Catania.d6052963.Travel-Guide-Activities)
