About this property

Dimora Balcuni Gelosia

Located in a prime position in Catania’s historic center, Dimora Balcuni Gelosia is an elegant holiday home that blends the charm of 18th-century architecture with modern comfort. Just steps from the Cathedral, the famous fish market La Pescheria, and the vibrant city streets, the Dimora is the perfect starting point to discover the city's Baroque wonders and experience its authentic Sicilian atmosphere.

The apartment is situated on the first floor of a historic building and opens onto an inner courtyard that ensures privacy and tranquility.

The refined interiors — with restored original details and contemporary furnishings — include a bright living area (with a double sofa bed), a cozy sitting room next to the bedroom with a small wardrobe and an armchair that can be converted into a single bed, a fully equipped kitchen, a comfortable bedroom, and a modern bathroom.

Perfect for couples, families, and curious travelers, the Dimora offers free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and — on request for an additional fee — washing machine and dryer.

A baby cot and high chair are also available on request free of charge.

Experience the authentic soul of Catania, just minutes from Ursino Castle, the Benedictine Monastery, and the Greco-Roman Theatre. Well connected to the airport and public transport, Dimora Balcuni Gelosia is the ideal base to explore Mount Etna, Taormina, and all of Eastern Sicily.
