Situated in the heart of Catania's historic centre, along the elegant Via Etnea and just steps from the evocative Villa Bellini, this property stands as a remarkable example of noble architecture from the late 19th century. Occupying the entire first and second floors of the building, the residence extends across the full perimeter and offers an impressive interior space of over 800 square metres. The rooms are enhanced by high ceilings adorned with refined wooden bas-reliefs. In the sleeping quarters, original inlaid wooden floors provide warmth and elegance, while the living areas and reception rooms feature sophisticated marble flooring. Two grand staircasesone in ceramic and the other in Victorian-style wood add charm and character, while also allowing for the potential division of the property into two independent apartments, thus maximising its versatility. The layout includes 24 rooms in total, comprising six bedrooms, two offices, an armoury, a library, a billiard room, and several interconnected lounges. There are two kitchens, one of which still preserves its original period furnishings, as well as a Victorian-style study corner featuring a fireplace and hand-carved bookshelves. The balconies overlook both the lively Via Etnea and the refined internal courtyard, graced by a century-old wisteria. The property is serviced by a lift and includes a garage, along with additional space to accommodate up to four cars, an exceptional convenience in the city centre. Its strategic location ensures easy access to major transport links: Catania Airport is just 15 minutes away, the motorway can be reached in 10 minutes, and the port in only 5 minutes by car. This is a rare opportunity for those seeking a prestigious residence in the historic centre or aiming to develop a refined hospitality establishment.
