Top 5 Hotel in Metropolitan city of Catania

Contrada, Via Grotte, 7, 95018 Carruba CT, Italy

“Lovely place. Always a pleasure to come back for the food for the staff for the location”

Via Nuovalucello, 81, 95126 Catania CT, Italy

“Exceptional service for this class. Friendly staff, polite and guest-orientated reception. Fresh, basic breakfast with a twist. Clean rooms, with minimal and quality interior. Superb beds. Clean, down to earth style though never cheap. Regarding the location, it might be out of the city center, but depending on your needs this might be a plus. Parking included upon availability.”

Via Madonna delle Grazie, 98A/B, 95024 Acireale CT, Italy

“Ibis Acireale is situated in a good area with car parking to ease your mind. Our third time staying in this clean hotel. Staff are friendly and helpful. Good breakfast included. Needed milk one evening was given some by a very friendly receptionist. Recommended for a pleasant friendly stay.”

Via Andronico, 2, 95010 Sant'Alfio CT, Italy

“We paid more then we usually do for our stay. But since the breakfast is included and I expected they would serve local artisan products from the agriturismo I booked the stay. This place is overpriced, the breakfast was nothing special, dinner was also not worth coming for. The staff is friendly and helpfull and the dining room charming and cosy.”

Via dei Tigli, 3, 95122 Aci catena CT, Italy

“I think first things first about this hotel. This is a complex i think of around 3 or 4 buildings. The main building being on the picture which hosts reception and the dining area as well as i think a few rooms. There are other buildings but believe me when I say this. They are no more than 100/200m away from the main building. It is all very close together so when you read another review in here what they are saying is absolutely not true and in fact really unfair on the hotel. All locations are less than a minute walk to the pool. There are 2 pools. One near the main building and another lower down to the left hand side. Both are accessible and absolutely delightful to be around. They both get sun all day and the beds and service at the pool are great. Right now that's out of the way, I genuinely don't know if I can say anything other than how exceptional this hotel is. We stayed for 10 days and it was an absolute dream. The hotel itself is absolutely stunning. As soon as you walk through reception and out into the dining area you see the pool which is gorgeous. The hotel itself is really clean and smells amazing. The breakfast is lovely consisting of hot, cold and continental foods. The pistachio crema and wildflower honey and mini donuts were exceptionally good. The lunch menu is great, fresh salads, sandwiches and pastas. drinks menu is varied and the cocktails are great. The dining menu is superb, real fine dining experience. Lovely food and atmosphere. Our room was just by the pool in the main building and it was cleaned every day and was extremely comfortable. The wifi is super fast. What sets this hotel apart was the staff, they absolutely could not do enough for us. My partner is pregnant in her first trimester and was suffering with intense morning sickness. One night she just wanted some plain pasta with sauce as this is all she could manage. Not a problem. We had an issue with a curtain, they came and sorted it within the hour. I just cannot fault them in any way. Really really enjoyed our stay here and the staff just made it so much better so thank you. One last thing if you are staying here, get up early and go up to the roof top terrace to watch the sunrise. Glorious. Now, people have said that the hotel is out of the way and it is a little, but it really depends what you want from a holiday. If all you want to do is relax, read books, eat nice food and wind down then this hotel is perfect it has everything you need. But if you want to explore and see more of Sicily then i would recommend hiring a car. But watch out, Italian drivers are crazy. Overall this hotel was exceptional and I genuinely wouldn't let one or 2 bad reviews put you off because they have significantly over-exaggerated. Some suggestions for the hotel: The rooftop terrace is significantly underused. I would get a small bar there as the view is amazing especially in the evening. And in the morning, i would offer activities out. Maybe some sunrise yoga or meditation. Thanks for looking after us, we really enjoyed it.”

Via delle Ginestre, 27D, 95019 Zafferana Etnea CT, Italy

“It does not feel like a 5 star hotel, because it is quite dated. But the location is beautiful, the pool is great and we also enjoyed the spa - which was included in our rate; 35€ for it is too much in my opinion. The breakfast could have been better - the scrambled eggs are just placed on a big plate and get cold really fast. And they don’t cook anything fresh for you. Overall it was good value for money.”

Contrada Camemi, 95049 Vizzini CT, Italy

“Beautiful property and overall wonderful experience. One serious downside was lack of a shower. We had a spacious room (13 I think) but it had only a tub with a handheld nozzle for hairwashing. No shower curtain. Needless to say, we were …”

Via Monaci, Via Pietralunga, sn, 95019 Zafferana etnea CT, Italy

“We selected this resort to have more of an Etna view after seeing some videos of the property, although you could only see the mountain from select spots on property. The staff / service / food / wine were great and nothing but positive notes on that end. Housekeeping was attentive and cleaned up the room nicely. The rooms did not meet the standards of a 5-star property. They were very outdated and need some renovation and TLC (tender, love and care). Inevitable that bugs would get in the room given you are on an organic fruit and wine vineyard too that we experienced. Overall, they could use some new sheets, blankets, air conditioning units, mattresses with covers, and some real work. For the price, we were disappointed. The pool was crowded with kids and some of the other outdoor items need some attentive maintenance for aesthetics too and routine upkeep. We ended up visiting Taormina primarily, and utilizing the restaurants on the island. If we were to do it again, would stay beach side as it is quite a distance away and for the price it’s well worth relocating towards the beach vs. vineyard.”

Via Monte Arso, 95030 Ragalna CT, Italy

“Very well served by the management, amazing experience in a private setting with picturesque views and fantastic service. On our last day, we have had an unfortunate incident where our private car was locked, and had to stay here for the whole afternoon until we resolve the matter. The management went out of its way to help us with contacts in the vicinity, tried to open the car themselves, and even offered us free lunch and free stay for the night… they went out of their way and for that we are very grateful, amazing management, keep it up, you will definitely be recognized and will spread all the positivity about this place in our country of Malta. THANK YOU ❤️”

Contrada Arrigo, 95015 Linguaglossa CT, Italy

“The hotel has a beautiful spa with wet and dry steam, massages, a large indoor bath with jets to massage sore muscles and a large outdoor pool. Rooms are luxurious but somewhat strange. We had a large and very luxurious room but the …”

“My wife and I got married at the Relais San Giuliano in September 2023. We were guests of the Relais in 2021 and fell in love with it. The lovely atmosphere, the staff and the quality of the food made us pick this location to celebrate the …”

Via Continella, 10, 95014 Giarre CT, Italy

“A really lovely little gem - we felt so comfortable and relaxed here (we're a couple in our late 50s). The staff are very friendly and usefully speak English. The room was clean and large with a large queen size bed and extra pillows, …”

Via Giovanni di Prima, 20, 95131 Catania CT, Italy

“A beautifully remodeled hotel just a short walk from the main shopping/dining street. The rooms are spacious and very clean with high ornate ceilings, bed is very comfortable, and the service is friendly. The bar has a happy hour with drinks for only 5€ accompanied by a large selection of bar snacks. I stayed 4 nights and would happily stay again.”

Strada Provinciale, Via Nicolosi, 95033 Biancavilla CT, Italy

“We had five rooms booked in July however we had to cancel the booking as one week before our arrival we were informed by management that the rooms do not have AC's. They week were going to be there, Sicily was going through a huge heatwave …”

SS120, 95012 Castiglione di Sicilia CT, Italy

“We spent 4 nights at this beautiful relaxing hotel with very well kept grounds, fabulous pool (which unfortunately we couldn't enjoy because it rained!) ||The best part about this place is the staff, particularly Annalisa who is just the …”

SP56ii, 95047 Paternò CT, Italy

“We travelled as a family in December 2022 and stayed for a few days at the beautiful Casale dell'Etna. The owner Mario and his staff were always available to help. This place is strategically well located a few minutes away from mount Etna …”

Viale Cristoforo Colombo, 2, 95024 Acireale CT, Italy

“Absolutely not 4 star hotel food disaster furniture very old service zero no one speaks in English no Internet its like 30 years ago”

Via Provinciale, 3, 95021 Aci Trezza CT, Italy

“This is the perfect location for those who want to visit both the riviera, Catania, and my Etna. Staff is very kind and will go out of their way to help you; breakfast is excellent serving both traditional foods as well as local sweet specialties of great quality. The rooms are spacious and clean with great showers and a small deck. There is a nice pool with a coffee shop and restaurant annexed. Parking can be either in the building at a fee or it can be found on the street and it is free. The amazing sea (a marine reserve) is a few steps in front of the hotel and access is free. Don’t forget to bring snorkel and fins. Catania is connected directly by bus (40 minutes to the cathedral square) or it is only 10-15 minutes away by car. Next door to the hotel is the local tourist board and a supermarket. Absolutely recommend this hotel”

contrada san mauro di sotto sn, 95041 Caltagirone CT, Italy

“The staff is amazing and super friendly. But the management and owner are not very good with the clients. We came here for one day expecting the SPA and other activities. SPA was closed for restorations, and there was no mention of this on the website when we booked. The food was served cold. I am sure the owner will reply with excuses.. but we left earlier as we were getting really frustrated as not many things were clear.”

95125, Via S. Nullo, 5R, 95123 Catania CT, Italy

“It's a small hotel with very friendly receptionists. Our room was very clean, a little cold at night, with a nice view. The only real problem for me was breakfast as there was absolutely no fresh fruits or vegetables available. If you're ok with a croissant and a coffee for breakfast then this hotel will be fine for you.”
