If you can't wait to get to the beach, you might enjoy a trip to Catania Beach located 2.5 mi (4 km) from central Catania. Enjoy the sunset by the shore at Spiaggia della Plaia, Lungomare di Ognina, and Spiaggia San Giovanni Licuti Rocce.
You can stroll along Catania Port for relaxing water views when you're in Old Town Catania. If you carry on walking you'll get to Spiaggia della Plaia for some more water views.
Piazza del Duomo is worth passing through for a few pics when in Catania City Centre. You can also discover the churches and cathedral in the area— your sightseeing tour starts here.
If you want to give your credit card some exercise, head out to Via Etnea in Borgo-Sanzio. Splash some more cash at La Fiera Market, Catania Fish Market, and Fera 'o Luni Market.
If thrills are what you're after, head to Etnaland, located 4.5 mi (7.2 km) from central Belpasso. If you'd also like to explore some of the parks in Belpasso, head to Bellini Gardens and Villa Pacini.
Lovely property in a great part of Catania, close to the famous elephant statue. Emanuele is fantastic. Warm and friendly, he even helped out when we had an issue with our rental car.

An amazing facility. The staff was attentive and caring without be overbearing. The food is delicious and the location is super. Our room was of adequate size and the amenities were wonderful. They had a secure location for our bicycles which is appreciated.
Only minor glitch was that the hot tub is a bit cool for my preference. Not a big deal at all.
I’d stay here again in a heartbeat.

Beautiful hotel made in a former palace. Our room was the former stunning dining room. The entire place was gorgeous with lots of amenities
Steps from the main square but on a quiet side street

This was a last minute booking after a canceled flight and we really lucked out. Easy access with code to enter and the Art Deco decor is amazing. The amenities are plentiful. The small kitchen area used for the included breakfast came in handy in the evening when we crossed the street to buy our dinner and brought it back. I highly recommend this establishment.

It would be difficult to overstate just how wonderful this place is. The rooms are clean and relatively spacious, the breakfast is wonderful, the owner is absolutely phenomenal (he even assisted me with gassing up my car before we left!), and the pool is absolutely magnificent…I’ve never seen a nicer pool outside of a resort!

What an amazing stay. An immaculate service by the owners . Very personalized in every way . It’s like being with friends but with 5 stars service. I would book again and again. It’s also in close proximity to all attractions , walking distance and walking distance to public transport.

We had a wonderful stay here. The owner was such a sweet person. We were offered a free breakfast. The room was updated and comfortable. We stayed one night. It’s very close to the bus and train station. We walked with our luggage and felt very safe. The room had a view off the balcony. We would definitely stay here again if using the Catania airport.

The rooms were beautiful, with simple classic design. The bed was wonderfully comfortable, the bathroom sparkling clean and modern.
The concierge was extremely amiable and prepared a delicious breakfast buffet for the guests.
This hotel is VERY CLOSE to all the sights in Catania, but is away from the bustle of the city center. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.

I had an amazing stay at Dipladenia Garden Country Resort! From the moment we arrived and were greeted by a handshake from Mariana (I hope I am spelling her name right) the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable — they truly make the place special. The resort itself is beautiful, peaceful, and well cared for, with plenty of charm and character.
Practical details were also a huge plus: having convenient on-site parking made coming and going so easy and access to the...

Nicola was friendly and helpful. I got an upgrade, and location was great! The recommendations on where to eat and see the best view of Catania were really helpful. And Nicola booked the airport transfer. Thank you!
