Located on Sicily’s eastern coast, at the foot of Mount Etna, Catania is the island’s second largest city. This charming destination features unique Sicilian Baroque architecture, large squares, avenues and a very important port.
On the northern side of the Cathedral Square, the historical Palazzo degli Elefanti houses the Town Hall of Catania. The Elephant Fountain is the city’s symbol and the entrance to the main shopping area. Surrounded by stunning Baroque buildings, Piazza del Duomo is a popular meeting point for tourists and locals.
Dedicated to Saint Agata and built over the Roman Baths of Achilles, the Duomo has an impressive facade that is one of Gia Battista Vaccarini’s masterpieces. The cathedral’s dome dates to 1802, while in the vaulted interior is the grave of the well-known composer Vincenzo Bellini.
Facing the Ionian Sea, this beautiful seaside place is one the hottest Italian cities during the summer. Mount Etna is an active volcano and a nice place for skiing in winter or a trip to the solidified rivers of lava during the rest of the year.
With the busiest airport in Sicily, Catania-Fontanarossa Airport, Catania is easily accessible by numerous European destinations like Munich, Rome and London. You can stay in one of the Catania hotels, guest houses or hostels Booking.com offers.
It`s too chaotic and dirty city. The beach is always too windy. The maximum stay in Catania has to be for 1 day and visit just central part of the city... don`t go too far away from the center in order not to be too disappointed..

Catania is a very interesting city and I took advantage of the way in which you can walk all around it easily, finding hidden gems, parks, churches and greco-roman antiquities. It is culturally fascinating especially as there is an active volcano on the island. Take the walking tours or bus tours and also get up to the seventh floor of the Hotel Etnea and watch the sunset over Etna while eating the signature dish Pasta Alla Norma a lively fusion of pasta, aubergine and ricotta. This is on many menus but the Hotel Etnea got it perfect. Mad in Italy provided the most perfect chicken salad with beer I have ever tasted. There isnt a sea front promenade but there are some beaches which I dont bother with as I prefer sightseeing. The city bus station offers cheap bus tickets all over the rest of Sicily and that is worth doing. I used the online app for the ticket purchase. The tour about where the lava covered part of the city in the mid 1600s is fascinating and well worth the 38 euros cost. Food is relatively inexpensive, wine is very good and the hospitality is warm and friendly. A perfect long weekend or mini break.

I stayed here for two nights and left early on the last day. I did not like Catania. I decided to travel to syracuse instead which was so much better and there is so much more for tourist.
The only good thing about Catania was being able to see Mount Etna, Especially from the beach too and leaving!

Catania is a good fun city and well worth visiting. Just a few words of warning though, there is a stall on the fish market in the shape of a boat selling cooked fish, be aware there are no prices and it is a total rip off. It's under the railway arches

We enjoyed exploring Catania on foot and had a walking tour of the city which showed us some of the main sights in the centre.
the city is very interesting and full of energy and the people we met were friendly and welcoming.
We enjoyed a variety of local dishes and the price of things was very reasonable.
The markets, including the fish market make are worth visiting.

Catania was the last day of a 2 week Sicily tour, and was a disappointment. There seemed to be no pride in the city at all, and very little history on show. Accepting that you can’t make style out of nothing, we wished we’d spent our last day elsewhere! Even yhe bus tour revealed little of visual interest.
The hotel was booked for an early flight out on Monday, and was very clean and tidy, with a balcony view of Etna. We would stay again if flying in to Etna, but be aware the 1.6m taxi ride was 30 euros.
First of all, I liked Martina and her hospitality (100/100). Secondly, the facility itself was very clean and lastly of course the location.
It was my honeymoon stay/base and it was the best decision. Martina helped us with useful suggestions/bookings/tips. I particularly enjoyed the fact that breakfast is served at the location and you get quite a variety of options. If you are looking for a comfortable, cozy and central location while in Catania/Sicily this is your best choice. I will be coming back!
we landed at catania and our flight was very late at night (passed midnight) it was wonderful to have a location in catania with easy self checking. the host was very nice and accommodating and very responsive. the appartement was in the center and it had everything you need if you want to spend some time in catania. we took a taxi from the airport then booked a car from Catania( company recommended by the host). I would definitely recommend as driving at night can be challenging in Sicily.
The staff at the hotel was exceptional. We were unexpected guests as we had to find a hotel in Catania with very short notice after Mt. Etna erupted and the airport closed. The hotel staff was extraordinary. They were so welcoming and kind. The two women working at the front desk (Dani in particular) sat with us for over an hour to figure out an alternate route to Rome to continue our vacation. We were so grateful to find this hotel and work with the amazing staff. Thank you again!
It was a great place to spend our last night in Sicily. It’s very close to the airport (5 minute drive) and also close to the beach (also a 5 minute drive). The room is very clean, Tanya is a great host with all kinds of little things to make us feel welcome, like the water bottles in the fridge.
Tanya responds very well on whatsapp, so communication was easy. If you choose to do the self check in, she’ll send you some video’s to show you how to find the place and how to enter.
We stayed here twice: before and after a week of sailing. Hotel has easy, 20 min access to the AirPort, 10 min by taxi to plazza del d’uomo. It has a pool, is clean, has working AC, very good and varous breafast, staff speaks english! All the above is not obvious in Sycylia, and in Catania center. What else, which is not common at All, you Can have lunch. Free bar in the room, kettle with coffe
Spacious rooms with either patio or balcony
This was our second stay at Sicily Luxury B&B: we began and ended our six weeks in southern Italy here. As noted in the previous review, everything about this lodging is great: breakfasts, location, facilities, and staff. Paid street parking easily available within a 5-10 minute walk. Highly recommended as a base for exploring Catania, Taormina, Messina (don't miss the Caravaggios in the Regional Museum there), and Etna.
This apartment is located very close to sea, in the best district in Catania. Luxury hotels in neighborhood, peace and quiet neighbourhood and not so far to train station. Good communication to small beautiful towns: Taormina, Siracusa etc. Apartment is very clean, contains two bedrooms, perfect for two persons if you need more than one room. Fast contact with host, and self-service check in. Good for few days.
Even though the area is residential, the location is great, as you are at a short walking distance away from Catania's sights, which is great. During our stay, we were able to comfortably walk to places, and were close to the train station, which is great, even for traveling to the airport. Also, the staff were very kind and accommodating, and my friend found the boutique element of the hotel charming.
We booked this Hotel for our last night before we left Sicily because it's near the airport. It has a beach area in walking distance, which was nice but not the best water quality. There is free parking for cars. The dinner was outside in the garden which looked really pretty (we just saw it, ate elsewhere). Breakfast was okay but nothing special and little selection in my opinion. Staff was friendly.
Luxurious, spacious, maximum clean apartment, spacious bedrooms with comfortable beds, pleasant and useful interior terrace, building with quiet residents in the heart of Catania. AliBus has arrival and departure stations from/to the airport nearby. Exceptional hosts, an example of how such a business should work, very kind and civilized. Thank you very much! See you next time we arrive in Sicily!
We came back here on our final day to be close to the airport for our early morning flight. We spent a night one week before at this lovely place and its wonderful owner arriving from Palermo before moving on along the east coast of Sicily. Our opinion has not changed this time, so just check our last review. If we would come back to Catania one day we would stop by again.
The hotel is convenient and comfortable, and the breakfast is delicious! But, the best part of our stay was the staff. We spent the month cycling around Sicily, with stays at the hotel at each end. Claudia was incredibly helpful to us on our last day in Sicily, making our trip end on a wonderful note!
Martina is an amazing host! She guided us what to visit in Catania and Sicily, what and where to eat. Organised a wonderful tour to Etna. Her company during the breakfasts was always interesting. Thank you!
Everything in the hotel is perfect. Breakfast was nice as well.
Simple but clean rooms. A family staff ready to share with you suggestion of the city.
Great location, close to restaurant and market areas. Just a few walk from the direct bus to the airport from Catania.
Nice original painting, also oil ones, all around the hotel
We came (family) to see Sicily (Catania, Taormina, Etna, Palermo). Comfortable and quiet apartments. It have everything you need for living. Very friendly host. Great location, 5 minutes from the start of our Catania sightseeing route. Everything great!
We stayed after arriving late into Catania airport so we’re only there for a few hours. Would not base a holiday from this hotel but if you need to be at the airport super early or late then this works fine. Appreciated the airport pick up.
Very nice location, all required facilities, clean, very hospitable and helpful owners. The apartment is in the old beautiful building with traditional decorations and furniture letting you feel the flavor of Sicily.
Very close to the center of Catania, complete with minibar and breakfast. This was one of the best accommodations we had during our 2023 visit in Sicily. SUPERHOST, patient, friendly and providing great suggestions.
Big apartment,, separated bedrooms, great location close to center. AliBus stop from/to airport 7 minutes away (Sicily Sud1). Supermarkets 10 min.
Owner providing plenty of good advices and always reachable.
The boutique hotel is well positioned, just 5 min walk to the terminal at Catania airport. There is no staff at reception, you receive clear instructions to get in via your mobile phone.
