Prices vary depending on the number of guests:<br>2 people.<br>3 people.<br>4 people.<br>5 people.<br>6 people.<br><br>First-floor apartment in the historic centre of Catania, consisting of 5 bedrooms: 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, kitchen, living room, and lounge. Piazza Mazzini - Piazza Dante - Piazza Università<br>(3 days)<br>Near, but not inside, the historic “La Pescheria” market.<br>As you can see from the map, it’s well-connected by public transportation, and you can walk to the city centre, as well as to the sandy beach at Plaja or the rocky shore at Cliff.<br>The house can accommodate up to 6 people: 2 in the bedroom with a double bed, 2 in the twin/double bedroom, and 2 in the living room (French sofa bed). The kitchen is equipped with everything you need for daily use, there is a bathroom (bathtub/shower/bidet/toilet) near the master bedroom and another bathroom (shower/sink/bidet/ toilet) in the single/double room, and the laundry room is equipped with a washing machine. <br>Wi-Fi is available throughout the house for internet access, along with digital and satellite TV; in addition, heating and cooling are provided by heat pump air conditioners, and there is also a natural gas stove. <br>Breakfast is not provided, but it is possible (for guests only) to book dinners featuring traditional Sicilian cuisine, with costs based on the selections.<br><br>Historic Centre of Catania<br>The historic centre is a hub of popular culture (the historic markets of Peseria, 100 m away, and the “Fera or Luni” district, 700 m away), shopping (the major stores are located along Via Etnea, 300 m away), and nightlife (“Movida”) (bars and restaurants within 250 metres).<br>The apartment remains quiet, as it is located just outside the heart of the fish market and the “Movida,” the entrance to the house is on the main street, but the bedrooms face a small alley used only by residents.<br>Ursino Castle (one of many built by Frederick II of Swabia) is 70 metres away; the bus stops for Plaja Beach / Scogliera / Acicastello / Siracusa / Palermo are located in Piazza Paolo Borsellino (formerly Alcalà), 250 metres away. The stops for Acitrezza / Taormina / Messina are located near the central train station, 1.5 km away.<br>Catania and Interland<br>Catania, located in eastern Sicily on the slopes of Mount Etna, is highly regarded for the Baroque architecture of its historic centre, designated an UNESCO World Heritage Site, and for its beaches.<br>The Catanese coastline ranges from the golden sands of Playa, rich in tourist facilities and swimming areas (accessible via the AMT Line D) to the more rustic beach of San Giovanni Li Cuti, which instead features a rocky lava base (accessible via the AMT ‘534’).<br><br>Just a few kilometres away, you can take a dip in the crystal-clear waters of Aci Castello (accessible via the ‘534’ AMT), where you can admire the ruins of the 16th-century Norman fortress, or Aci Trezza (accessible by car) with its faraglioni (the Cyclops Islands) and the island of Lachea, a nature reserve of great geological interest.<br><br>Capo Mulini is one of the most beautiful seaside resorts along the entire coast (Fondachello, Giarre, Santa Tecla, Fiumefreddo, etc.), where you can enjoy fresh fish and seafood all the way to Taormina, the Sicilian pearl known throughout the world.<br><br>Mount Etna (accessible via the AST line or the AST bus—get off at the central station), with elevations exceeding 3,000 metres, is the highest active volcano in Europe. You can access its magical scenery from two beautiful Sicilian towns, such as Nicolosi and Zafferana.<br>During the winter, the climate is always mild, similar to the lower Mediterranean regions, even though it’s possible to ski on Mount Etna. In the summer, temperatures don’t usually exceed 33/34 degrees, as the sea and Mount Etna help keep temperatures at these

The host, Massimo gave up his home for the 4 of us for 3 nights. The house was not modern but it was just what we were looking for. It was close to the city center and we got the "living like a local" experience that we wanted. It was easy to walk to restaurants and markets.

A spacious apartment in the center of Catania

This is a very nice, clean and spacious property with a very convenient location. The owner was very accommodating to our needs. Normally, check-in is in the afternoon but our plane was arriving at 7 in the morning and we were able to check in early. The owner helped us with directions and met us in the apartment and helped us orient ourselves. We really enjoyed our stay.

A real home! We were delighted to stay at Casa di Ambra for our first visit to Catania. The location is amazing - so close to everything by walking (a bit far from the train with luggage, but there are loads of buses if needed). We love staying in a real home, not some vacation rental, because everything you need is available. Need scissors to open that package of cheese? Check! Ambra (who met us on check in) was super helpful and we used many of her local suggestions during our stay. From Catania we were also able to visit Taormina,Siracusa, and Etna easily without a car. The apartment is close to many bars, cafes, and restaurants but is also very quiet in the bedroom for sleeping. Highly recommended for a couple looking for a relaxing way to visit this part of Sicily!! We left Catania by plane and the Alibus to the airport is a very easy walk from the apartment. Grazie Massimo!!!

Wonderful Catania apartment!

The apartment is spacious and allowed our family of four adults to spread out during our stay. It is clean and very well equipped--and was or is clearly somewhere the owner himself stays. It has an excellent location for exploring the main sites of interest in Catania. The owner is extremely friendly and helpful. I recommend the apartment highly!

Lovely Huge apartment

The apartment is exactly as described and how it looks in the pictures. The apartment is large with plenty of rooms and space. The location is great, just a couple of blocks from the Duomo and the main square. Plenty of great restaurants within a couple of blocks. Massimo's daughter Ambra was there to meet us at the apartment to tell us everything we needed to know. She was great and her english was excellent.

Wonderful apartment in Catania

This was a very nice spacious apartment in Catania. Location was very central, half way between Plaza Duomo and castle Ursino, but still quiet at night. Massimo was an excellent host, picking us up from the station at arrival and taking us to the airport when leaving. He even took us to Etna and Etnaland during our stay. Very recommended!

Well decorated and well equipped apartment close to Duomo Piazza

This is a beautifully decorated apartment and it provided comfortable accommodations for four older adults. Since the owner lives in the apartment when it is not rented out, it is very well equipped with cooking utensils. The owner was very responsive to our requests when we had issues with the water. The renter should be aware that there are a lot of steps to climb in order to gain access, and there is no elevator. Very conveniently located near restaurants, shopping and sightseeing.
