I found the breakfast to not really be much of anything The packaged croissants were horrible. I took one bite and left it. I was expecting more of a real fresh breakfast of fruit and pastry, not juice (which I don't drink) and packaged pastry I could get out of a machine.

Breakfast

Great location on main avenue Via Guiseppe Garibaldi, I had room Duomo 1 and could see exactly that building to the left. The room is massive with a juliet balcony and small table chairs which you enjoy the view from. Interior is a treat, staring at your own 'Bottecelli' ceiling fresco. Did not see any staff whole 3 days but wasnt an issue at all. I got large bottle presessco, x3 bags of chips replenished, mini muffins, tea, coffee, creamers, soda, water, juice all included in price!! Nice touch. Breakfast venue at nearby cafe is also lovely, with great view on to a piazza

I couldnt find suitable temperature control in room, found night time temperature in March bit cool. Also the actual entry of side street is home to a very popular bar (great place....), and is noisy Friday, Saturday til the early hours.

We had very nice stay. Giuseppe informed us about everything upfront. The room was very nice, we had everything we needed - just like in a hotel - very comfortable bed, towels, slippers, fridge with some complimentary drinks and snacks. The location was perfect - just in the city center, very close to all main must-have-sees. We would definitely come back.

It´s right in city center and Italians know how to have fun :-) So if you are coming over the weekend, bring earplugs. We were super tired after busy days, so we fell a sleep almost immediately. But you can really hear people having fun on street until 3am.

A wonderfully restored b&B in the heart of the city (literally steps away from the Cathedral and the fish market) in a historic building with original flooring and frescoes on the ceilings, with spacious rooms and super comfy beds. Trust me, this place is even better than in the pictures! If you are into small boutique hotels and prefer places with a local "flavor" and rooted in the local culture, this is your best choice. Check-in and out is extremely smooth (can even be done being guided "remotely) and Giuseppe (the host) will offer plenty of tips on local activities/restaurants/things to see. Thank me later ;)

No complaint whatsoever!

We hadn’t been to Catania before it’s quite lively and chaotic at times. The hotel was in the centre and near all the activity but quiet and had everything we needed, there were three couples staying there for a wedding - there were three rooms with a kitchen and office area. We had an iron, hairdryers everything we needed to get dressed for the wedding. They also had left complementary treats in our fridge. The breakfast cafe around the corner (2mins walk) was traditional and perfect for us, there were lots of great Sicilian restaurants in walking distance as well. The city bus stop was near for travelling to other areas.

The rooms here are so lovely. They are absolutely spotless with a huge, comfy bed. There is excellent attention to detail - there are robes and slippers, a vanity kit (nail file etc) and a sewing kit. There was a fridge with complimentary drinks and snacks. We could get Netflix on the TV too! The location is great, right in the middle of where you want to be in Catania. All instructions about how to get in were very clear and helpful. Giuseppe sent us lots of great recommendations for places to eat etc during our stay.

Nothing, will definitely stay here again!

We stayed in the Palazzo for one night - a little gem of a place tucked away down a quite street behind a large door. Our room was beautiful. It overlooked a busy street but the windows were soundproofed so we heard absolutely nothing. Equipped with everything you would need, spotless clean. The host provided a bottle of bubbly and goodies which we enjoyed later that night on the balcony overlooking the street below. Correspondence with the host as excellent. Token given for breakfast nearby. The palazzo was within easy walking distance of the town.

There was no parking at the property and parking was difficult to find nearby. The nearest carpark was full, so we paid a local guy for street parking - I don't know whether this was legal or not, but there were quite a few "car park attendants" around directing people into car park spots! We moved the car the next day into the car park.

Lovely spacious room , spotlessly clean, great central location. Little balcony overlooking the street was nice. Self check-in instructions were clear and all went smoothly

I found it a bit off-putting that there was never a person at the property. However, having said that, the nameless manager did respond very quickly to any questions via WhatsApp, but everything was “remote. “ The room was a little noisy some nights - doesn’t bother us much because we live in a city but might not be great for light sleepers. The breakfast at a nearby cafe was a bit sparse. (One coffee/tea drink & one pastry)

The location and ambience were amazing so close to everything

To stay at Palazzo del Verga is a true Italian/sicilian experience. When we go through the first gate, into the courtyard, we feel like in Elena Ferrante's novel, or in a movie by De Sicca - Catania, though in Sicilia, has a very similar atmosphere to Naples. The building is smartly decadent, but inside the apartments are modern and confortable. The detail of the room painted ceiling is adorable (renovated frescos). Although it is situated in the old town - 5 minutes from the Duomo -, and very lively during the day and the night, the place is quiet.
