Item Description

COURTESY OF: Daria Laurentini

DESCRIPTION:  Catania lies cradled amidst the splendid greenery of its surroundings. It opens out to the sea, welcoming us with its grand piazzas, wide roads, and lava rock architecture. The warm atmosphere offers a unique combination of historical significance and modern comfort. The city is full of attractions, offering a myriad of historic and artistic wonders.

Hotel Dimora is an aristocratic home that once belonged to the Dukes Trigona of Misterbianco, located in the central street Etnea of Catania, close to the cathedral square. The owner, who is also the architect, has restored the entire 18th-Century building: frescoed vaults, decorated walls, furniture and paintings of high antiques.

The thoughtful restoration has managed to save all stories from the past while retaining modern comforts: radiant floor heating for during the winter and air conditioning for hot summer days. A hammam inside the main bathroom provides a sanctuary for relaxation.

At night, you might enjoy dinner on the terrace, or dine in one of the many restaurants near to the house. During the day, you could visit a beautiful 18th-Century bathhouse lying on a lava rock reef, or take a dip in the crystal clear Mediterranean waters.

In the two historical markets neaby,you will find fresh foods and delicious fish. It is an indescribable experience -- a beautiful mix of colors and flavors!

In the afternoon when the air is cooler, you may wish to stroll to the town center and visit local archeological sites, museums, or churches. If you love nature, there are excursions to the Etna volcano or to natural reserves on the oriental coast.
