Casa Verdi is a big, inspiring and creative house for travelers managed by a everchanging community of travelers, globetrotters, artists, nomads, backpackers, and entrepreneurs. In the house we live with the intention of pursuing a good and simple life: we welcome new people, cook, eat, clean, talk, work, exchange ideas, have meetups and events.... right by the city center, in Catania.
We try to approach our business like a family, influenced by the Italian culture for family driven enterprises and fusing it with elements of the co-living movement. We are convinced that the application of these ideas in different fields of economics could lead to simplifying processes and provide a new and improved work-life balance.
For Residents and travelers alike Casa Verdi offers a lifestyle that embraces participation and sharing of fundamental values as this allows a higher and more genuine value to be spontaneously created for all.
This perspective aims to hybrid gift economy & traditional economy.
We feel that the latter is merely an excuse to allow the former to trigger the unlimited value potential that results from meaningful human relations & interactions.
The Transculturality
Our concept of Transculturality comes from an unfixed, everchanging and dynamic reality that may appear chaotic at a superficial glance. To us, Transculturality means simply sharing Human values, in a constant process of expanding our collective awareness. It also implies no stereotypes or prejudicial thinking so that spontaneous expression can manifest our individuality while we develop our inner self and our external environment.
To this end we love to mingle with people from different cultures.
Travelers seem to be subconsciously conscious of Transculturality as they have already acquired experience of this mixing of known and unknown, familiar and foreign. While travelling we tend to be in the most open mindset to share experiences, values and ideas with each other. Experiencing different countries/cultures has the effect of clearing up our role as representatives of a certain determined culture.
This can help to rediscover a certain joy in Being Together.
We therefore feel that travelling can trigger positive changes in our society. It could widen our point of view on life and social dynamics and teach us to "contaminate" each other with ideas and emotions; probably the most enriching experience we can possibly have with each other.
The Vision
We believe that community living and Transculturality carry with them a crucial moment of transformation; a transition to a new economic thinking based on respect for the environment and driven by healthy human relations.
Co-housing, in particular, is our way to incorporate such a vision. Different objectives and philosophies merging together in a space allow us to experiment many different ways of connecting with others and approaching ourselves.
Casa Verdi therefore aims to attract those global-citizens and free thinkers who need a lively yet peaceful environment where they can confront and put into practice their ideas with the goal of positively impacting both local and transnational communities.
Casa Verdi dreams to become a social hub for this new ecosystem to flourish in Sicily.

Frequently asked questions for this offer
What happens after I make a reservation?
Once you send a reservation request, the landlord is notified that you are interested in their offer. From that moment, they have 24 hours to approve or reject your reservation.
Landlords are mainly interested in the profile of their tenant. Do not forget to fill in all necessary information, add your profile picture, or even make a short video about yourself. Doing that will make you more attractive for the owner and your reservation will more likely get approved.
What is the standard furnishing of flats?
All the apartments on offer on Flatio must meet certain standards. We require fully furnished and equipped ones, dishes, cutlery and internet connection included.
What is a medium-term rent?
The duration of a medium-term rent is usually 1 to 12 months. Most of the landlords offer long-term rents or rents for just a few days, therefore getting a medium-term rent without Flatio is not that easy.
Can I go through the contract before I make a reservation of the housing?
You can take a look at the contract in advance and online with every offer. After you sign it, you will find it in the application My Housing.
While arranging a contract on Flatio, you do not have to worry that it could be disadvantageous for you. Our contracts are made so that we avoid all problems! All of them are the same, used by all the landlords on Flatio.
Can I see my chosen accommodation in person before I sign the lease agreement?
Your time is precious. That's why we've added a virtual tour option to our platform so you can see some of the rentals listed on Flatio from the comfort of your own home.
If a virtual tour isn't available for the accommodation you've chosen, you can contact the landlord and ask them if they're willing to give you a personal tour of the rental unit.
If you move in and find that the rented accommodation doesn't match the information on Flatio at the time the reservation request was sent to the landlord, you can withdraw from the lease agreement under certain circumstances explained in this article in our help center.
Also, under our "secure move-in" policy, we'll assist you with moving to an alternative accommodation if you report within a certain period of time that the rental unit doesn't match the ad and the landlord doesn't fix the problem immediately. You can read the details in our help center.
How can I pay?
On Flatio, you have a variety of payment methods to choose from. You can use your card, payment gateway or bank transfer. Just pick the one which suits you the most.
How can I cancel my reservation?
How you can cancel a reservation varies depending on what stage the reservation is in.
Is your reservation request still waiting for landlord approval? Then you can simply cancel it directly from your My Housing web app!
However, suppose the owner has already approved your reservation request, and you are no longer interested in it. In that case, you can still cancel the reservation before you sign the lease agreement. Just consider that you should do this only in essential cases. Because when the landlord accepts your reservation, their property is stopped being advertised, and they can lose the chance to rent their property to someone else.
Do you have an approved reservation and also a valid agreement? In order to cancel your reservation, contact Flatio customer support well in advance of your contract beginning (the specific time and amount of refund depends on the type of cancelation policy).
