Virtual Tour

The ancient city of Catania has much to offer the unsuspecting visitor. Sicily’s second largest city is not only the commercial and industrial heart of the eastern part of the region but is also a truly fascinating treasure trove of history, culture and architecture.

As you can see from the map below, the historical and commercial centre, emanating from the Basilica Duomo of Sant’Agata and Via Etnea, is situated slightly inland, while the city’s main transport terminals – the Train Station and long-distance Coach Park are located nearer the coast and the Port of Catania.

The Hotel Residence La Ville Catania is perfectly situated between the city’s Train Station and the main drag of the historical centre. Both are easy walking distance from the hotel door, making for easy access to the beach, the vibrant heart of the town and of course, to other nearby towns in Sicily.

Getting Here

The Hotel La Ville is about a 10 minute walk from Catania Centrale Train Station following the map above, which we suggest you print out to help you. The nearest Airport is Catania Fontanarossa which is about 5 km outside the city centre. Regular public transport links the airport to the train station and coaches from other Sicilian towns such as Messina, Palermo and Siracusa also arrive at the central station. The train from Rome takes about 10 hours and is best done overnight.

If driving in Sicily, we strongly recommend you use a reputable, preferably international car hire firm.
