exterior The B&B PICONE is situated in the heart of the historic center of Catania, in the Umberto I Street, in a big and shining apartment, totally restored, at the first floor of an ancient building of the first of the 1900s, at few steps from the important city street, Etnea Street, with its splendid Baroque, the big lave-stone pavements and the elegant shops.

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 car-parks.
