We were sent to this hotel by the hotel Il principe which has overbooked us. While being disapointed at the beginning, as it was supposed to be somehow not as nice, we were actually very satisfied by this hotel. The room were huge, the staff friendly and the breakfast ok. It's near the duomo and animated area of Catane. Overall... More

Recently spent 3 days in Catania on a trip to Sicily. Our first stop was at the Manganelli Palace. Once we found this lovely little hotel, occupying the upper floors of an old family palace in the downtown, we found it to be a perfect location for seeing everthing. Lucca, who checked us in was charming and helpful, and another... More

Let's start with the hotel--charming palace from a place in time that few unfortunately get to see. Think Neapolitan palace under a different Volcano! If you enjoy a kind, helpful staff, high ceilings, remarkable architecture, and yes,... More

The hotel is very well situated in the heart of Catania, and although not large is adjacent to a piazza. Many of the rooms have authentic... More

There were six of us, so we needed two triples. The rooms were gorgeous and comfortable. The hotel is minutes on foot to Via Etnea, stores, restaurants, the Duomo, etc., and a fifteen-minute walk to the train station and bus terminal. We were a little concerned when we first arrived, as the immediate area doesn't necessarily suggest "palace," but the... More

The entrance to the hotel is on a side street, you are buzzed in and you are lost.... where is the reception.... in the end we figured it out take the lift to the fifth floor and viola you stumble right in into the reception area. The day my partner and I arrived there was qiet an austere warden on... More
