Who we are


Next to the historic and commercial centre of Catania, "Villa del Bosco" is situated in a very exsclusive residential area.
It is a splendid, untouched, and full of a charme stemming from an ancient grandeur, from nineteenth-century Sicily's fragrances and flavours.
Its halls and its rooms are still silent witnesses of magnificent, extremely elegant parties held by one of Catania's ancient aristocrat families.
Today, "Villa del Bosco" still represents all these things that after a re-furbishment, "Villa del Bosco", shines again in all its beauty, becoming a prestigious accomodation facility. Elegant tapestries, refined furniture, romantic canopy beds, uniquely arranged lighting and remarkable frescoes from a past age blend well with the comfort of today's way of life. The spacious, well-lit rooms are carefully furnished wiyh antiques. They are equipped with telephones and Internet connections, air conditioning, satellite pay-tv.
Some rooms have Jacuzzis, in order to make available, in the old-time atmosphere, the comfort of modern age.
Breakfast is proposed by the elegant way of arranging the buffet. It is served on the roof, so the Guests can admire the wonderful harbour on a sea full of history and the amazing volcano "Etna".
The restaurant "Il Canile" (the kennel), whose name comes from two eighteenth-century stone dogs placed at the entrance which help to preserve the elegant and warm atmosphere, allows you to taste.
Sicilian, Italian and international gastronomic specialities. At last, we can mention the "Sala Zuber", with its panels painted by the artist Jean Zuber and the "Sala Vaccarini", whose walls show some frecoes representing the most important monuments of the "Baroque style of Catania", designed by the architect Giovan Battista Vaccarini. These halls are used for important events such as meetings for small groups, conferences, banquets and ceremonies, alwais in a pleasing and elegant style which revives the magic and unique atmosphere of aristocratic parties of past times.
"Villa del Bosco"
is all this and more than this. Here every wish can be satisfied and Guests can enjoy an incomparable and unforgettable stay, wanting to return as soon as possible.
