“This recently renovated property strikes me as a solid base for exploring Catania, particularly its historical heart. Its location near Porta Garibaldi places guests within a reasonable walk of major sights, and the addition of soundproof rooms is a thoughtful touch. I'd say the rooftop terrace, with its Etna view, seals the deal.”
