The options

Many ways to be at Isola

You choose based on how much time you spend here: from one day to a membership, from a desk to a room for your team. And you can switch when your needs change. Around the desk is a community that shares a purpose.

For those passing through

Day Pass

A full working day at Palazzo Biscari: a desk, high-speed wifi and access to the shared areas. It’s the option for people passing through Catania, for those who want to try it out, or for anyone who needs a day of work away from home. And for those who, while working, meet people they didn’t expect to.

€12
per day, all inclusive

Packs of 5, 10 or 20 days

Days to use whenever you like over twelve months. It’s the option for those who come back regularly: professionals working in the city, remote workers, people who return to Sicily from time to time and need a base. Coming back often is also the way to build relationships and take part in the life of the community.

The experience

What it's like to work in the Isola coworking space

Workrooms under frescoed vaults, natural light, quiet when you need it. A terrace where you end up talking about work with someone you didn't know.

Around the desks you’ll find freelancers, professionals, remote workers and digital nomads passing through, founders with their teams, people working in culture and the creative sector, and people who came back to Sicily and chose to stay. Alongside them are the participants in our programmes and the organisations of the archipelago: what makes this place different is the people you meet every day.

Every week the space hosts events, meetups and presentations: the people who work here are the first to join in.

“I could go to great lengths to describe how beautiful, comfortable and spacious Isola is but you can read that in every other review. There's one aspect that I can't appreciate enough and it's the people of Isola. I have been to many other coworking spaces before but only in Isola I immediately felt at home. The hosts made sure I felt part of the community from day one and other coworkers were super friendly as well. I even made some friends here!”

Łukasz Sowa

“Perfetto per remote working, grandi sale silenziose in un meraviglioso palazzo storico al centro di Catania. Posizione centrale e gentilissime Alice e Chiara!”

Michela Luciana Letizia

“Lavorare dentro Isola è un privilegio. Il co-working è facilmente raggiungibile e ben connesso, situato all'interno dello storico Palazzo Biscari. Penso sia il posto giusto per freelance, startupper, aziende che vogliano trovare un posto in cui lavorare, con tutti i comfort necessari, in un clima amichevole e internazionale. A questo si aggiungono eventi e occasioni di contaminazione.”

Grazia Pane

“Vale la pena fare i km (e lo dico perché l'ho fatto in prima persona) per partecipare alle loro iniziative. Ad ogni evento si conoscono persone nuove e si ritrovano quelle con cui già si erano scambiate idee. Persone super interessanti con le quali poi si rimane in contatto. Lo spazio è curato nei dettagli e il team è super accogliente e disponibile. Un luogo dove si respira energia positiva.”

Anita Torino

“Un posto unico, curato ed arredato in maniera impeccabile. Un punto di riferimento per la Sicilia per il Sud, dove si fa innovazione e si crea impatto sociale Vero.”

Roberto Palma

“Isola Catania rappresenta una hub di innovazione straordinaria e unica per la Sicilia. È un punto di incontro per la comunità siciliana che guarda al futuro e ha la concreta capacità di attirare e concretizzare la collaborazione tra persone e startup, aziende, università e istituzioni a favore delle imprese del nostro territorio.”
