Dolores Catania Opens Up About Living Alone for the First Time: "It's Freedom for Me"

For Dolores Catania, moving into a temporary new home meant experiencing a major milestone moment in her life. 

"It's the first time [I'm] living by myself," The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member shared in an interview on the show's February 8 episode. "You know what? It's freedom for me."

While raving about her "little sanctuary" in the exclusive Bravo Insider video above, Dolores admitted she got "chills thinking about it," and declared, "You can tell how much I love my new life." Later, she added, "Everything is clean and nice, like this part of my life."

Dolores moved into the stunning rental in 2021 because her house is in the midst of a major renovation. Although she's adding amazing new features to her primary abode (including a backyard pool), now that she's settled in at the townhouse, she isn't exactly eager to move out. On the RHONJ episode, she admitted with a laugh, "I don't want to go back to my house." 

After getting a full look at the townhouse in the video above, it's easy to understand why she wants to stay. The home has a "serene" sitting room, a spacious "bright and light" kitchen, a "beautiful bedroom," and a stunning bathroom. Press play on the video above to see all of the beautiful rooms in Dolores' townhouse!
