Flat for rent - Catania

After years based in The Netherlands and travelling around I decided to create a home in Catania, the city dominated by the powerful presence of Etna - which locals call 'La Signora'. Its presence enchanted me, and made me search for my space here. The apartment was largely renovated by myself, and I enjoyed every step of the process.
Divided in two levels, it has all amenities of modern living, while retaining its traditional charms: the wooden shutters, the 'cementine' decorated tiles in 'Liberty' style so typical of this region, and the arched high ceilings in the main rooms. It unites history and convenience. There is a main bedroom with a double bed and an ensuite toilet/ basin, a guest room (which I use as an office/ study when on my own) with a day bed that can be converted into a double, with a luminous balcony facing the street. The living/ dining room, with its high ceilings, is a great place to chill after long sightseeing days - or even listen to some of my music collection.
The upstairs area has a new, modern kitchen with all that is needed to prepare all sorts of meals - I'm passionate for cooking - and it gives access to the bathroom (and the bathtub) plus another long, open balcony to the buildings inner courtyard. This balcony has a sitting area where it is possible to read, work, relax or have quick meals.
The apartment is situated in the historic city center of Catania, a stone's throw from the Piazza del Duomo, the Catedrale di Sant'Agata, the Fontana dell'Elefante, the legendary fish market and many of the city's milestones. Restaurants, bars, bakeries, shops, the amazing Sicilian 'pasticcerias'... so much to discover around!
Catania is also a gateway to the island. From here iconic cities/ villages like Taormina, Siracusa, Noto, Ragusa among many others can be reached either by car or by bus.

Hello there,
I'm Samir Calixto, a Brazilian born from Italian/ Portuguese descent contemporary dance choreographer who, after many years living in The Netherlands and travelling around the world, has found his own little spot in the city of Catania in Sicily. However, as I still create works around I am relocating again to The Netherlands - hence making my Sicilian apartment available for rental. Like that I can continue to experience different cultures and all that which fascinates me so much: nature, culture, music, architecture and all forms of beauty. I believe that a home is a person's temple, it reflects his/her way of seeing the world as well as the place where energies can be restored. I hope this Sicilian home can be your haven for a while.

FAQ
What happens after I make a reservation?

Once you send a reservation request, the landlord is notified that you are interested in their offer. From that moment, they have 24 hours to approve or reject your reservation.

Landlords are mainly interested in the profile of their tenant. Do not forget to fill in all necessary information, add your profile picture, or even make a short video about yourself. Doing that will make you more attractive for the owner and your reservation will more likely get approved.

What is the standard furnishing of flats?
All the apartments on offer on Flatio must meet certain standards. We require fully furnished and equipped ones, dishes, cutlery and internet connection included.
What is a medium-term rent?
The duration of a medium-term rent is usually 1 to 12 months. Most of the landlords offer long-term rents or rents for just a few days, therefore getting a medium-term rent without Flatio is not that easy.
Can I go through the contract before I make a reservation of the housing?

You can take a look at the contract in advance and online with every offer. After you sign it, you will find it in the application My Housing.

While arranging a contract on Flatio, you do not have to worry that it could be disadvantageous for you. Our contracts are made so that we avoid all problems! All of them are the same, used by all the landlords on Flatio.

Can I see my chosen accommodation in person before I sign the lease agreement?

Your time is precious. That's why we've added a virtual tour option to our platform so you can see some of the rentals listed on Flatio from the comfort of your own home.

If a virtual tour isn't available for the accommodation you've chosen, you can contact the landlord and ask them if they're willing to give you a personal tour of the rental unit.

In the event that you move in and the rented accommodation doesn't match the information on Flatio, let us know as soon as possible!

If the conditions for the withdrawal are met and the landlord can't fix the issue immediately, you have the option to withdraw from the lease agreement with a full refund. We'll also actively help you find an alternative accommodation and remain by your side until everything is fully resolved.

You can read the conditions and all details about our Move-in Guarantee in this article of our Help Center.

How can I pay?
On Flatio, you have a variety of payment methods to choose from. You can use your card, payment gateway or bank transfer. Just pick the one which suits you the most.
How can I cancel my reservation?

How you can cancel a reservation varies depending on what stage the reservation is in.

Is your reservation request still waiting for landlord approval? Then you can simply cancel it directly from your My Housing web app!

However, suppose the owner has already approved your reservation request, and you are no longer interested in it. In that case, you can still cancel the reservation before you sign the lease agreement. Just consider that you should do this only in essential cases. Because when the landlord accepts your reservation, their property is stopped being advertised, and they can lose the chance to rent their property to someone else.

Do you have an approved reservation and also a valid agreement? In order to cancel your reservation, contact Flatio customer support well in advance of your contract beginning (the specific time and amount of refund depends on the type of cancelation policy).
