We had a wonderful stay at Palace Catania. The location on Via Etnea couldn’t be better, with everything in the city just a short walk away. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff were consistently warm, friendly and helpful. The breakfast was very good & the staff was excellent. Awesome view of Mt. Etna from the rooftop & our room. A great choice for anyone visiting Catania.
