Absolutely loved this place, disappointed we couldn’t stay the entire 2 days (the woes of traveling with family) but it was everything I expected and more. To be honest, the ceilings are so beautiful I could have stayed a full day inside staring at them! Catania itself is quite different than a lot of other cities in Sicily, it’s a much busier, faster pace. So if you’re looking for a sleepy beach town this isn’t it. However the restaurant scene is incredible and this place is within walking distance to some of the best restaurants & the fish market as well as great shopping & historical sites. It also appeared to be the most diverse city besides Palermo, which I particularly liked.
