"Fantastic location right in the middle of all the action, with shops, restaurants, and sights just steps away. The staff was extremely attentive and thoughtful, making sure every detail of my stay was taken care of. I especially loved the beautiful rooftop patio, it was such a great spot to relax and take in the surroundings. The cute little breakfast in the morning was a lovely touch and made for a very peaceful start to the day. Overall, a wonderful stay and I would happily return!"

The hotel is a great location for the train station and also for the cathedral, cafes and sightseeing. The breakfast was great. Our room was very comfortable and clean. We highly recommend."

Asmundo di Gisira

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is a beautiful, historic palace for a noble family centuries ago. It is absolutely gorgeous. They have renovated it in both modern and historic ways, it is amazing! The location is fantastic for walking around the historic area of Catania with tons of markets, shops and restaurants. The staff was great in helping to navigate the area and give recommendations for meals and activities. The rooftop area and bar were lovely, great views and great beverages (Jorde was very nice to give us the name of his friend's restaurant with good pizza on a cute piazza!) Breakfast was amazing, presentation was so unique and the location on the terrace couldn't be better. The room had everything we could need, although the bed was a bit firm! We were there on a Saturday night and the piazzo below our room was quite noisy until very late (early into the next morning!)"
