About this property

La Norma, a charming apartment

We want our guests to feel right at home in the heart of the historic center and the city’s vibrant life, just a short walk from the main entrance to Villa Bellini—one of Europe’s most beautiful public gardens, named after the great musician from Catania. The suites are named after his most famous works; directly across from the gardens is the renowned Savia pastry shop, which since 1867 has been preserving the finest Catania recipes with its granitas, arancini, ricotta cannoli, and Sicilian cassata. Just a few minutes’ walk away is the Cathedral and all the most beautiful monuments, such as the Greek Theater of Catania and the colorful fish market (La Pescheria). The area is teeming with charming bars and restaurants. Just 30 meters away is the Alibus stop, which connects to the airport for only 4 euros in 20–30 minutes.<br><br>

Stunning property and wonderful host!

I stayed at the “Norma Suite” for about 1 week. The decor is absolutely stunning, beautiful art in the entire apartment. If you are not planning on driving, this location is absolutely perfect: Villa Bellini, Piazza Duomo, and so many other main attractions can be reached within minutes. The host “Giuseppe” was very attentive and recommended some of the best places where to eat great food. I posted pictures on social media and received so many compliments on the apartment. I will definitely stay again in this property next time I am visiting Catania!
Stayed 6 nights in Sep 2022
