Historic 165 m² Downtown Gem, Duomo/Fish market/Metro in Minutes

A rare apartment in the very heart of Catania: a bright and generous 165 m² home in a historic building, just a few steps from the Duomo/Cathedral, the famous Fish Market (La Pescheria), shops, restaurants and the Roman Amphitheatre. You can walk everywhere.

The flat is wide and airy, designed for families, couples travelling together or small groups: it has A/C and heating in every room and fast Wi-Fi, so it works both for holidays and for longer stays.

Layout:

Total size: 165 m²

2 bedrooms (one on the upper level)

2 separate living areas, perfect for relaxing or splitting spaces (adults/kids or work/leisure)

1 large main bathroom with shower and full amenities

1 compact but functional en-suite bathroom inside the upstairs bedroom

Fully equipped kitchen (oven, stove, coffee machine, utensils)

Balconies overlooking the historic centre

One of its strongest points is the location: in about 3 minutes on foot you reach the metro stop, bus stops, supermarkets and cafés, so moving around Catania or planning day trips is really easy. The area is ideal if you want to experience the city on foot, among markets, baroque churches and evening spots.

Perfect for guests who want real space, a truly central position and modern comfort inside an authentic historic setting.

Wonderful Apartment and Host

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this apartment with our 2 and 4 year olds. The apartment was very centrally located and easy to walk to main attractions and restaurants. It was clean, spacious and beautifully furnished. Our kids loved all the space to be able to run around when "home." There is no elevator in the building and it's located on the 3rd floor but our host was gracious enough to meet us there upon arrival and help us upstairs with our bags. Car park is approximately a 10 minute walk but there is plenty of parking and this wasn't a problem for us. There is street parking but it's difficult to locate. Our host Gilda was extremely helpful and communicative with us to ensure our stay was comfortable. Gilda went above and beyond by providing several amenities in the apartment such as soaps, lotions, welcome gift, etc, such that it felt like staying in a boutique hotel. Additionally, there were easy to use child locks on the cabinets to keep our nosy 2 year old out, which was fantastic for us! Our kids also loved that there were 4 TVs in the apartment that they could be watching something different in multiple rooms. We'd definitely stay here again if we ever visit Catania again.
