Canalicchio: Experience gardens and culture

Canalicchio can be explored for trip planning through a range of interests: Le Stanze in Fiore di Canalicchio is all about gardens and water, while the Chiesa San Marco Evangelista and the ArteManara gallery offer culture. There is also the Muri Antichi sports centre in Tremestieri Etneo and two AMTS bus routes to Canalicchio. If you are looking for a hotel, it helps to consider what you want to visit separately from how you will get there.

Garden spaces at Le Stanze in Fiore

Le Stanze in Fiore di Canalicchio was created from an old citrus grove and is a contemporary garden with separate outdoor areas. A sensory path runs among flowering plants, ponds and water features. Two features come together here: the layout of distinct garden spaces and a path that incorporates plants and water. If you are interested in garden design, you can take note both of the spatial layout and of the sensory impressions along the path during your visit. The citrus grove is part of the garden’s history, while the separate outdoor areas define the contemporary character of the site.

For the 2026 season, admission includes a guided tour led by the garden’s owner and creator. As booking arrangements may change, check them before planning your preferred date.

Culture in Canalicchio

The Chiesa San Marco Evangelista is located in the hamlet of Canalicchio. The ArteManara gallery is at Via Carnazza 81 in Tremestieri Etneo (Canalicchio). Use the hamlet as your reference point for the church and the street address for the gallery. If you plan to visit the gallery, check its current opening hours in advance.

Muri Antichi sports centre

Muri Antichi is a multi-purpose sports centre at Via del Canalicchio 21 in Tremestieri Etneo. It has a modern swimming pool with a retractable roof and red-clay tennis courts. This gives you two different sporting options: swimming and tennis. The pool’s retractable roof is one of its features, while the courts are distinguished by their red clay surface. If sport is one of your travel interests, you can decide which of these options to include in your plans.
