Our B&B is called Al-Qattà, ancient Arabic name of Canicattì . It means “stone cutter”, with reference to an ancient water source , around which the stone quarry worker  first houses , were built .We are in the heart of the historic centre overlooking the garden of Castle Bonanno.

In the distance you can  admire the “ amphitheatre ” Borgalino , the highest part of the city and few metres away stands the Clock Tower .

The B&B is renovated from a pasta factory of the last nineteenth century and its located in a strategic position , only two steps from the historic and commercial centre of the city where you can find cafés ,pubs and wine bar , to have an aperitif and spend a relaxing evening , listening to live music .

If you want to have a funny night, there is the “Comida” one of the most important and exclusive nightclub in Sicily just a few hundred metres from our B&B. For food lovers there are confectionery ,takeaways, pizzerias, trattorias and restaurants where you can taste local products and delicacies of our land and sea.

Curiosity:

Many years ago, it was said “go to Canicattì ” to indicate a non-existent or at last a very distant location .Actually this expression  had a real foundation . In fact , on September 24 th 1876 , the first long railway line in Italy , Milan-Canicattì , was inaugurated. Our city represented the furthest  point of the national railway. On railway carriages , for many decades were read there signs : Turin-Canicattì , Milan-Canicattì,

Venice-Canicattì  , Rome- Canicattì .This is why, even day, in northern Italy it continues to use this term to refer to a very distant place .
