    LOCATION: This apartment was wonderfully located in a five minute walk to the center of town. IT was just a few steps away from a medieval castle surrounded by a square with lots of cafes and restaurants. QUIET: Although the apartment was near...

Well decorated flat in an original historical building from the beginning of the 20Th century. Completely restored and equipped with all the amenities required for a relaxing stay. Very close to the main attractions and few steps away from the central square (Duomo square) and from the open market (fish and groceries market). The area is vibrant and rich in restaurants and bar.
I am an architect , working and living in Catania, on historical center. I love my job and I consider it very exciting because it gives me the tools to analyze the cities that I visit. I love Brazil and Brazilian music (MPB), I also love jazz. I studied piano and when I do I like the jam sessions with friends in my home. I love the cinema, reading, and good wine. Self Catering Sicily is a Tourism network which I founded becasue, as traveller, I would like to help other traveller to make them to feel at home when they rent an holiday house. Part of the network are the owners of the house that I propose, who I know personally. My agency creates connection between good houses, good services and good guests. All this makes a good marketing. I select and inspect houses in Catania and the whole Sicily, offering support and suggestions at guests. I work directly in Catania center and i'm trying to expand my businnes in the whole Sicily. Welcome to Sicily
The area of the Ursino Castle, where the apartment is located, is the heart of the city. The old folk tradition, proximity to the historic fish market, the Baroque context, make it fascinating. The location is central, and from here you can visit all the major tourist and historical sites of the city: GRCO theater, Roman theater, Roman baths, underground city, opera house, museum, museum of the diocese. A few minutes by car or bus you can reach the sandy beaches (south side) and those of black volcanic stone (north side). A few steps away is the bus station which connects the city of Catania and Taormina, Siracusa, Noto, Ragusa, Palermo etc ... The neighborhood is alive day and night, full of bars and restaurants serving typical Sicilian cuisine where you can take a trip enograstronomico respectable at reasonable prices.
