Symbol of Catania Baroque architecture, this beautiful building was created in the 17th century by the architect Francesco Battaglia. With its 18th century stucco decorations, decorated wooden coffered ceilings, wrought iron balconies overlooking Piazza del Duomo and terracotta tiles covered with hand-painted floral or geometric motifs, the palace still retains a historical character of great richness.
The decoration of the rooms perfectly combines the charm of past centuries with a contemporary style. The minimalist style of the rooms skillfully exalts the historical characteristics of the palace. This small charming hotel is a unique place where one can experience a stay at a historical palazzo without sacrificing luxury and comfort. You will appreciate the attentive service and cordiality of the staff, the stylish decoration of the rooms, the intimate and refined atmosphere. Breakfasts based on organic regional products, fresh fruit juices, almond milk, seasonal fruits and Sicilian pastries can be served in the bedroom or in the small lounge.
Its geographical location in the historic center will allow you to easily reach on foot all the sites such as the Pescheria (the famous fish market), the Massimo Bellini theater, the monastery dei Benedettini, the Palazzo Biscari, the cathedral di Sant'Agata and the Via Crociferi, the emblematic street of the Catanese baroque.
