It was a great property and surprisingly offered private parking in the middle of the busy city! (There isn’t real clear signage on the street, be aware you have to look for a big black metal gate to enter the property.) We were able to walk everywhere and the piazza and sights were SO close. We had a big jacuzzi tub, beautifully painted high ceilings, and the bed was comfortable. We definitely recommend, especially if you’re coming off a long flight into the Catania airport.

Great room in a real palazzo
Great room, with wonderful ceilings and a separate sitting room. The location is perfect for sightseeing and convenient for the airport. Reception is not open after 2000 but a staff member is available to let you in. Would definitely recommend.

We had a lovely time. Staff was very helpful.
Conveniently located, very walkable area, for shopping, sights and dining.
The only negative was, the bed frame extended beyond the mattress and was a constant problem as we kept smashing our knees into it.
