The hotel is located right in the heart of Catania's historic centre, just a brief stroll away from piazza Duomo and via Etnea. The same family has managed the hotel for 4 generations. The building itself, dating from the late 18th century, was completely refurbished in 2001. The guests especially enjoy the peace and quite of the bedrooms, which for the most part overlook inner courtyards, making the hotel a real oasis of serenity in the heart of a busy city.
