About this property

Downtown Penthouse - La Nica

  • La Nica: a delightful penthouse in the heart of Catania! Quirky, cozy, comfortable, and fully equipped. Welcome Home!

    THE APARTMENT is located on the top floor of the original wing of a 19th-century building on Via Sangiuliano, in the heart of Catania’s historic center, where the famous painter Antonino Gandolfo was born in 1840.
    Recently renovated in a pop-art style, with special attention to Sicilian tradition, it is fully equipped and comfortable.
    It is situated in a PRIME STRATEGIC LOCATION, just a few minutes’ walk from the main monuments (Teatro Massimo, Piazza Duomo, the Central Market, Via Etnea, the Bellini Museum, the Roman Amphitheater, Greek Theater, etc.), the nightlife districts, the central station, the port, a beach club (Lido Scogliera d’Armisi), and the airport shuttle (Alibus).
    The apartment is on a single level and features a CHARMING LITTLE TERRACE in Sicilian style, complete with a breakfast/aperitif area and a beach umbrella—making your moments of outdoor relaxation truly unforgettable!
    The LIVING AREA features a corner with a sofa bed (which can be converted into a double sofa bed with a topper if needed), a Smart TV, a desk for remote work, and a dining table;
    The BEDROOM, which is equipped with another TV, features a very comfortable double storage bed with a hypoallergenic, orthopedic king-size mattress and a mattress topper.
    BOTH ROOMS are connected to the outdoors via period French doors and security gates.
    The KITCHEN, equipped with an induction cooktop, refrigerator, freezer, oven, electric kettle, and Nespresso coffee machine, is compact and functional and is connected to the living room via a sliding door as well as a charming and convenient serving hatch.
    The BATHROOM, located in the sleeping area, is equipped with an exhaust fan and features a spacious shower and plenty of storage space.
    The apartment is completed by TWO LARGE CLOSETS and a STORAGE CLOSET, all of which are available for guests’ use, as is the outdoor LAUNDRY ROOM, complete with an 80-liter water heater, sink, washing machine, clothesline, and laundry chute.

It is a nicely decorated apartment with a kitchen with dishes etc and a combo living room and dining room. It is within a ten minute walk of the main streets, train and bus station. We stayed 8 nights. Just note there is a fee for new towels and sheets and remember to bring toilet paper if staying over 2 days. Ricardo was very friendly and helpful with our questions and gave us some excellent restaurant suggestions. We had a great vacation.

My dad and I went on a Father-Daughter trip to Italy. One of our stops was in Catania from September 10-14th 2025. We received a very pleasant welcome from Riccardo (the host). The apartment is clean, well maintained and as pictured. Riccardo gave us suggestions regarding street parking and restaurants. Thank you so much! Kristina
