This is one of the most unusual places we have ever stayed and we absolutely loved it. It’s a little tricky to find using google maps as it’s in a courtyard off Piazza Stesicoro however Antonio was really helpful and directed us in. We were driving and appreciated the shaded parking. The accommodation is on the 1st floor but the lift takes you to an in between floor, however we had assistance with our cases. You are right in the middle of Catania but it’s quiet inside even when the market is on (our balcony overlooked the market). There are only 3 rooms and it’s really secure. It was originally a palace and loads of the original features have been retained - so quirky! Our room was pretty big especially being so central in Catania, and the bathroom had been built into the room to preserve the original features. We loved the breakfast service which was brought into our room on a little trolley with stools - pastries, fresh fruit, coffee, fresh orange, delicious. The only slight downside was the mattress which was covered and pretty hard, however everything else was great. Great location for exploring the city and something a bit different!
