About the neighborhood

Located in Aci Castello, Hotel Malavoglia is in the city center and on the waterfront. While the natural beauty of Mount Etna and Catania Beach can be enjoyed by anyone, those looking for an activity can check out Catania Port. Traveling with kids? Consider Etnaland, or check out an event or a game at Angelo Massimino Stadium. Snorkeling and fishing offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with hiking/biking trails nearby.
