“I found this hotel strikes a charming balance between its prime location near Catania's main square and the personal touch offered by the staff. The rooftop terrace, where breakfast is served, caught my attention, and the willingness of staff to assist with luggage certainly stood out as particularly thoughtful; keep in mind, however, that it's in an older building with stairs. It's an authentic experience for those looking to be at the heart of the city.”
