welcome!




The wonderful strength of Etna, the snow-covered peaks, the crystal clear sea of the Ionian coast, the historical and archaeological heritage, the baroque churches and palaces, the enogastronomic traditions and music, the innate warmth and hospitality culture of the people, welcome tourists in every season. 
Fire, water, and light meet, mingle and intertwine to give the visitor a unique spectacle. The province of Catania offers a scenario that has attracted tourists and travelers for centuries. 
A strip of land where nature mixes colours in an embrace that wraps up little bays and paths that are imbued with the fragrance of muscat wine, in a continuous succession of cliffs and creeks that become fields and then valleys, almond trees covered with white flowers, red woods of beech and silver birch

CATANIA'S GARDENS AND OTHER PLACES HERE





When one thinks of Sicilian gardens, the first place that probably comes to mind is Palermo. The noble palaces of the Kingdom of the two Sicilies are most often associated with the idealized splendor of flowerbeds and carriages. Yet, Catania has a long list of gardens – somewhat secret, as in the novel by Frances Burnett – which are rather overlooked but still very impressive. The type of gardens where you imagine yourself having a picnic or reading a book. And no, I'm not talking about the villa Bellini, the most central and well-known park in the city.
