Overview

Welcome to Stesicoro InHabit, where Sicilian elegance meets boutique style in the buzzing heart of Catania. Set in a historic baroque building that’s anything but basic, this isn’t your average B&B. With a concept that blends hotel comforts with a more personal, intimate vibe, Stesicoro InHabit is perfect for those who want something unique—and just a little extra.

From the moment you step out onto Via Etnea, Catania’s vibrant main street, you’ll be surrounded by the city’s iconic culture, food, and architecture. And when you’re ready to wind down? Retreat to your modern room, kick back on your balcony, and sip on something chilled from your minibar.

Feeling peckish? The surrounding streets are packed with authentic Sicilian trattorias, street food vendors, and gelaterias that’ll have you wondering why you didn’t visit sooner.
