About this property

The house of the Moors is located in a strategic position, a stone's throw from the new metro station "named Metro" and 5 minutes walk from Piazza Europa. The central location will allow you to reach the famous beach of the old fishing village of San Giovanni Li Cuti in just a few minutes through a characteristic ancient road used by carters. This enchanting coastline is famous for its volcanic sand, the characteristic rocky and sandy beach and for the delicious fish restaurants that are located close to the beach.

The Mori’s House — modern comforts in a hidden side street

This is an elegantly appointed and comfortable apartment, near the water and within easy reach of all amenities. We enjoyed morning coffee and evening drinks on the rooftop patio. Laura gave us all the information we needed for a successful stay and was easy to contact.

Clean and comfortable

We loved our stay in Catania. Laura is a wonderful host and even helped us with our misunderstanding of the garbage and recycling. The place was very clean and the terrace on the rooftop was so nice to sit at and decompress from a busy day of tourism. Laura is great! We would definitely stay here again!

Lovely place in Catania

We enjoyed our stay in The Mori’s House. It’s a quiet and privat appartment near the local beach where some nice restaurants can be found. The city is very busy and it’s difficult to find some space to park your car, but nevertheless it was a lovely holiday!

Great place in Catania.

Since this was our first time in Sicily we wanted to focus on a region, rather than cover the entire island. We were able to travel to Etna, Taormina, and Siracusa easily from this location. The apartment was comfortable for 4 adults. One word of caution. If you’re not comfortable with climbing stairs this place may not be for you. The property description, and host attentiveness were spot on.
