If you can't wait to get to the beach, you might enjoy a trip to Catania Beach located 2.5 mi (4 km) from central Catania. Enjoy the sunset by the shore at Spiaggia della Plaia, Lungomare di Ognina, and Spiaggia San Giovanni Licuti Rocce.
You can stroll along Catania Port for relaxing water views when you're in Old Town Catania. If you carry on walking you'll get to Spiaggia della Plaia for some more water views.
Piazza del Duomo is worth passing through for a few pics when in Catania City Centre. You can also discover the churches and cathedral in the area— your sightseeing tour starts here.
If you want to give your credit card some exercise, head out to Via Etnea in Borgo-Sanzio. Splash some more cash at La Fiera Market, Catania Fish Market, and Fera 'o Luni Market.
If thrills are what you're after, head to Etnaland, located 4.5 mi (7.2 km) from central Belpasso. If you'd also like to explore some of the parks in Belpasso, head to Bellini Gardens and Villa Pacini.
An amazing facility. The staff was attentive and caring without be overbearing. The food is delicious and the location is super. Our room was of adequate size and the amenities were wonderful. They had a secure location for our bicycles which is appreciated.
Only minor glitch was that the hot tub is a bit cool for my preference. Not a big deal at all.
I’d stay here again in a heartbeat.

It would be difficult to overstate just how wonderful this place is. The rooms are clean and relatively spacious, the breakfast is wonderful, the owner is absolutely phenomenal (he even assisted me with gassing up my car before we left!), and the pool is absolutely magnificent…I’ve never seen a nicer pool outside of a resort!

Lovely property in a great part of Catania, close to the famous elephant statue. Emanuele is fantastic. Warm and friendly, he even helped out when we had an issue with our rental car.

What an amazing stay. An immaculate service by the owners . Very personalized in every way . It’s like being with friends but with 5 stars service. I would book again and again. It’s also in close proximity to all attractions , walking distance and walking distance to public transport.

Beautiful hotel made in a former palace. Our room was the former stunning dining room. The entire place was gorgeous with lots of amenities
Steps from the main square but on a quiet side street

Great hotel, friendly staff. It literally is next to the airport runway. There is noise from the planes taking off and landing, but the hotel supplies earplugs. they also supply eye masks. We didn't find it to be a problem. Finding the hotel was a bit weird. Its in the parking lot of a group of rental companies.

This was a last minute booking after a canceled flight and we really lucked out. Easy access with code to enter and the Art Deco decor is amazing. The amenities are plentiful. The small kitchen area used for the included breakfast came in handy in the evening when we crossed the street to buy our dinner and brought it back. I highly recommend this establishment.

The rooms were beautiful, with simple classic design. The bed was wonderfully comfortable, the bathroom sparkling clean and modern.
The concierge was extremely amiable and prepared a delicious breakfast buffet for the guests.
This hotel is VERY CLOSE to all the sights in Catania, but is away from the bustle of the city center. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.

We had a quick overnight stay but staff VERY helpful, exceptional accommodations and easy walk to fantastic dining and shopping. Staff arranged taxis for us and even had breakfast out at 4a.m. prior to our crazy early departure. Would definitely book again.

Luca was wonderful and so accommodating! He took the time to meet us early and show us the hotel. He also showed where we were in relation to the main sites.
It’s as beautiful as the pictures and is such a good location considering how easy it was to walk to things such as the Piazza del Duomo.
Our stay was too short and we had to leave early so sadly didn’t get to try the breakfast but will look forward to it next time!

Nicola was friendly and helpful. I got an upgrade, and location was great! The recommendations on where to eat and see the best view of Catania were really helpful. And Nicola booked the airport transfer. Thank you!
