My name is Gaetano,
I'm a Journalist (I am the Head of the communication Office of the Sicilian Civil Protection department) ecoattivist, I love spirituality and party!
I live in Catania, an amazing sunny lively city in Sicily, with nice beaches and parties.
I love to travel and host international people, getting to know new cultures has always been fascinating to me.
Since 2008 I host people from all around the world because I used to run a school of Italian languages, a classic wooden boat and now I want to open a bed and breakfast that I will become a Urban yoga retreat.
I have an "open family" with my partner and we have 2 beautiful daughters.

The house we are restoring is in the Centre of Catania (via morosoli Catania), besides Villa Bellini City Garden. There are other 2 rooms fo volunteers and for me, my friends and my family (sometimes they stay there) and a beautiful sicilian garden.
You will not be involved on helping the builders on restoring the apartment but a help sometimes can be appreciated.
You will have:
- a private room (not yet restored)
- a shared bathroom with shower
- use of kitchen for meal preparation
- use the garden for yoga asanas or for freindly meetings and parties!
Catania is located between the Etna and the jonian sea in Italy (Catania, Sicily) . Places nearby are beachs, rock cliffs, and Via etnea, the main street of Catania. You can discover also Syracuse and Taormina by bus or train, or you can join my friend at our international Facebook Group "Catania Social" whenever you want ;)
