Our Story

Siamo nel cuore del centro storico di Catania, in un'area che ai tempi degli antichi greci e poi dei romani, ospitava l'ippodromo, il gymnasium, e un lago artificiale dove si svolgevano delle spettacolari battaglie navali, le c.d. naumachie, con l'uso di vere navi modello e numerosi gladiatori. Di allora restano visibili alcuni resti i davvero importanti, tra cui il teatro greco-romano e l'anfiteatro romano. Di epoca medievale, a parte la vicinissima "Porta della decima" ( accanto alla chiesa di S.G. per il transito, situata proprio girato l'angolo di casa) un tempo integrata nelle mura medievali, inoltre a 150 metri si trova il Castello Ursino, sede del Museo Civico e di numerosi eventi culturali. Sempre vicino casa , si trova il laboratorio dei tradizionali "pupi siciliani" di F.lli Napoli, con una suggestiva esposizione scenografica (la visita è da concordare con i proprietari). Sempre vicinissimo all'appartamento, meno di 100 mt, il piccolo, ma interessante museo comunale d'arte moderna. Facendo due passi si raggiunge la zona del mercato storico della pescheria, dove immergersi nell'atmosfera assolutamente unica di colori ed odori di tempi passati, stuzzicando l'appetito per gustare i vostri pranzi con pescato fresco o lo street food tipico catanese, trai palazzi barocchi di cui è ricco tutto il centro storico, patrimonio UNESCO. I più importanti esempi di barocco siciliano a Catania: il monastero dei Benedettini, la cattedrale e la Badia S. Agata, il palazzo Biscari magnificamente decorato anche in stile rococò.

Il mare non è lontano, a soli 2 km la spiaggia sabbiosa, o alla stessa distanza la roccia vulcanica della scogliera. Con largo anticipo, possono organizzarsi gite in barca verso Acitrezza, Taormina o Siracusa.

L'Etna è facilmente raggiungibile in autobus o in jeep, con una guida esperta.
