Ursino Apartment with Balcony by Wonderful Italy

Beautiful apartment, with eccentric decor and attention to detail, a short walk from Castello Ursino and the Port of Catania.



The apartment is on the second floor of a building with no lift. The entrance opens onto the living area furnished with a sofa, a dining table and an equipped wall with a TV. To the side of the sofa there is the modern kitchen equipped with amenities, including an oven and microwave. This room is made bright by the French-window that gives access to the balcony. The sleeping area, on the other hand, consists of two bedrooms, both equipped with a double bed and chest of drawers. A bathroom with shower completes the layout.



Catania can boast a beautiful historical centre, listed among the UNESCO’s World Heritage Sites. Its architectural wonders, as well as the colourful 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 theatre, 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 coloured 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”.



Catania Fontanarossa airport is only 6 km away from the accommodation.
