The B&B PICONE, composed by 4 independents rooms (3 doubles and 1 triple) with balconies, bathroom, internet wireless, TV and air conditioned frigo (in addition to the breakfast room and the adjacent kitchenette), is situated in the heart of the historic center of Catania, in the picturesque Umberto Street, in a big and shining apartment - totally restored - at the first floor of an ancient building of the first of the 1900s, situated under the lee of the picturesque ness Vittorio Emanuele III Square, with its crowded "ciospi" - characteristics little refreshment-booths where very good lime or typical fruit syrup drinks are served - and at few steps from the important city street, Etnea Street, the "Catania's living-room", where you can still breath the atmosphere ofthe eighteenth-century city, so risen after many natural catastrophes, with its splendid Baroque, the big lave-stone pavements and the elegant shops.

The central position make possible to reach on foot the most important public buildings and the city-sites of mayor architectonical, historical and cultural interest.

Thanks to public means of transport, which pass into Umberto Street (an halt is just under the B&B) or nearby the B&B, is possible to reach the most decentralized destinations, like the railway-station and the extra urban bus-station, the airport and, above all, the seaside and the different beaches that are characteristic of the Catania's coast: from the lave-stone cliffs, forged by antic Etna's eruptions (and in summer equipped with practical "solarium"), to the gilded sandy expanse "Playa".
All of these characteristic, apart from the typical family reception, make the B&B PICONE the best place for a tourist or business holiday, especially for visitors which arrive in Catania by train or by aerial, because in the moment of the reception could take advantage from taxies parked nearby the station. While for visitors which like travel by car, they could find lots of very big (payment) car-parks.
