A block of rooms at a special rate (128 € per night + city tax) has been reserved at the Four Points Sheraton Hotel, which is the venue of the workshop.
The reservation of these rooms will take place through a dedicated web link until to August 10th. Notice: it seems that the dedicated web link does not work properly on some browsers. According to the Four Points Sheraton Hotel, the link is guaranteed to work with Edge (from our tests: Safari didn't work, Google Chrome sometimes worked, and Firefox worked on Linux only). In case of problems, please contact the hotel directly and let us know.
The area around the venue has many other Hotels, B&Bs and AirBnB apartments, so feel free to explore alternatives, especially in the case you are planning to stay in Catania a few more extra days, or to travel with family. Since the area is not well served by public transportation, we suggest that - if you don't plan to stay at the Four Points Sheraton Hotel - you either rent a car or you choose a place within walking distance.
