Property information

In the heart of the historic center of Catania, only 8 minutes walk from Piazza Duomo, the city will open like a treasure chest and, step by step, you will be able to discover all the beauties that surround the historic center of the city where the Baroque mixes with the lava stone and the blue of the sea joins the red of Etna. The rooms are located a few steps from the free beaches of Catania, in a charming neighborhood with shops and entertainment venues. After a careful renovation, Palazzo degli Affreschi opens today with two suites and four luxurious rooms, for charming stays not far from the center and the sea. The rooms, furnished in Sicilian and elegant style, preserve the history of the place, with great attention to color combinations and mixing the best of technology with history to offer maximum comfort.

Neighbourhood information

Via Garibaldi is one of the main streets of the historic center of Catania. At 700 meters from Piazza Duomo (just 8 minutes on foot), you can avoid using the car to visit the city and thus you can live an experience in total mobility. The beautiful Ursino Castle is located just around the corner as well as the Benedictine Monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
