Location
The hotel is very close to Via Etnea, at the heart of Catania, one of the symbolic cities of Sicilian baroque. Just a short distance from the hotel are some of the most artistically and culturally interesting places in Catania: the Roman Amphitheatre; the Villa Bellini gardens, Via dei Crociferi, magnificent baroque palaces and Piazza Duomo. The Benedictine Monastery is also an essential visit, nowadays home to the Faculty of Arts, the St. Julian Church, one of the most beautiful in Catania, and Ursino Castle, the only building to survive the earthquake in 1693. The hotel is also an ideal base for excursions out of town: Caltagirone, the town famous for its ceramics; Taormina; Siracusa; Piazza Armerina and the slopes of Etna.
