We are Angelo and Mattia, two young men with a deep love for our city and a genuine passion for sharing the wonders of Catania with the world. We believe that tourism is much more than just an industry: it is an open door to unique experiences and meaningful connections. Every guest we meet allows us to enrich ourselves, to see the world through different eyes and to explore new perspectives, as if we were embarking on a different journey every day without ever leaving our beloved corner of Sicily. The world of tourism fascinates us precisely because of its ability to bring people together, promote mutual understanding and create indelible memories. Every visit, every conversation is a new opportunity for us to grow and learn, and we feel privileged to be able to show our guests the beauty, history and authenticity of our Catania. Offering a warm and genuine welcome is fundamental for us, because we know that it is the small details, the care and dedication that make each stay unique and special. The ‘Dimora del Mercante’ represents a real rebirth for us! After the difficult period of the pandemic, which slowed us down and presented us with unexpected challenges, we are finally ready to start again with renewed energy and the same passion as always. We are convinced that the worst is behind us and that many new adventures and meaningful encounters await us. We are ready to welcome you to our abode with the warmth of a real home, so that you can experience our land in the most authentic way possible!

The ‘Dimora del Mercante’ is located in the beating heart of Catania's historical centre, next to the picturesque and lively ‘Fera o’ Luni' market, inside a typical historical Catania building that retains all the charm of tradition. It is the ideal choice for those who wish to fully immerse themselves in the authenticity and essence of Catania's past, amidst the stories, colours and scents that make this city unique.

If you wish to live an authentic Catania experience, the ‘Dimora del Mercante’ offers not only hospitality and customer care, but above all the warmth and welcome of a real HOME, where every detail is designed to make you feel at ease. From the kitchen, a staircase leads to a wonderful terrace, where you can admire suggestive views of old Catania: a charming place to spend pleasant moments at sunset or under the stars. Thanks to the double glazing and its elevated position, the flat offers excellent soundproofing, ensuring a quiet and relaxing stay even in the heart of the city!
