The Location...
Located in the heart of the city the Jolly Hotel Bellini housed in a tall, 1960`s-built building is 100 metres from the -'Fera o Luni` market in the city centre of Catania, on Sicily`s east coast. The Catania airport is only 6 km away from the property and the Catania railway station is only 1,5 km away from the hotel.
Nearby Attractions...
The old city of Catania, a meeting point and example of various foreign rules, from Roman to Norman and Arab, is just a pleasant, 5 minute stroll from the hotel. But apart from its historical and cultural background, tourists can enjoy the traditional sites Catania has to offer. In fact the Jolly Hotel Bellini is a few steps from the picturesque open-air -'Fera luni` market offering great deals, and the -'A`piscaria` fish market, the scene of spirited bargaining.
Apart from that, 1.5 kilometers away is the -'Le ciminiere` convention centre, a venue for important national and international meetings, shows and exhibitions. Also guests can visit the fully equipped volcanic rock or white sand beaches just a few steps away, while Mt Etna, the volcano tied to Catania by a love-hate relationship, is 30 kilometers from the hotel.
