Etna Suite
Basic but fine place in an excellent location. Clean and quite large room with a nice balcony over the courtyard, although we didn’t use it much as it’s January. On the nicest street in town, but not noisy. Felt very secure and safe.

Palace Catania | UNA Esperienze
Loved this hotel. Staff was excellent. We rented a car, so the valet was great being able to pull up right in front of the hotel, drop the car off there, and they parked it for us and got it for us each day. Great location, walking distance to many of the Catania sites.
