Our host was amazing! So friendly and knowledgeable! This was a palace and is 200 years old. The floors are original and the frescos are 100 years old!! Absolutely beautiful!! We appreciated our balcony to look over the lovely street! Conveniently located, it's in the heart of Catania!! Parking is a challenge! Thanks to our host for showing us a spot!! Breakfast was lovely with Sicilian specialties!

Our room was quiet, clean, and comfortable. There was plenty of hot water in the roomy shower. The bed was very comfortable and well appointed. The breakfast was replete with choice and the room itself was delightfully charming. The elevator was tight with luggage, but otherwise an easy ride. Our hosts were exceptionally helpful and kind. The location was terrific! We enjoyed our 6-day stay very, very much.

What a gem! Close to everything yet quiet with triple windows. Hospitality? After we arrived from a very early flight, we wanted to drop off our bags. Well, the manager also insisted we have coffee and partake of breakfast too! The breakfast is amazing, with a great variety on offer and you eat in the parlor of an old palace with painted coffered ceilings. The beds were excellent. A/C worked. Very convenient location on the via Etnea and all the major spots.
