South Factory Club

South Factory Club is a large, modern gay sauna in Catania that bills itself as the largest in southern Italy, discreetly set on a quiet side street near the seaward end of Via San Giuliano. Its centerpiece is a big hydromassage pool ringed by a Finnish sauna and a Turkish bath on the ground floor, with an upstairs of spacious private cabins, several massage rooms, a video room, a labyrinth, dark rooms, a sling and glory-hole rooms, plus an American bar, a smoking area, and an outdoor courtyard. Open seven days a week with friendly, English-speaking staff and a relaxed, not-too-crowded crowd, it runs naked parties on Fridays and is one of Catania's two saunas.
