Hotel Savona, Catania

Hotel Savona is a reasonably priced, three star hotel in the centre of Catania, Sicily. The hotel has been run by the same family for four generations and offers 30 comfortable rooms with en-suite facilities, air conditioning, minibar, modem connections and satellite TV. The bedrooms are sound-proofed and many overlook the internal courtyard, making them an even quieter retreat from the hustle and bustle of downtown Catania. The hotel is tastefully decorated and has generous communal space with leather sofas and dark wood where guests can read a newspaper, meet with friends, or enjoy a drink from the hotel's friendly bar. Staff at the 24-hour reception desk can suggest the best places to head to in the evenings, whether you're looking to try fine Sicilian cuisine or book seats at the theatre - perhaps to hear an opera composed by Vincenzo Bellini, who was born in these very streets.

The island of Sicily is the largest in the Mediterranean, and with its hybrid language and noticeably different food, visitors to Sicily would be forgiven for forgetting they are in Italy at all. The island combines great beaches, stunning scenery and mesmerising history, and the Catania province (in the east of the island) is one which can boast a wealth of all three. The city of Catania is the second largest on Sicily, and conveniently located close to Mount Etna, the area's star attraction. In the seventeenth century, Catania was ravaged by both a volcanic eruption and an earthquake, so the city's current centre dates from 'only' 1693. The town square, the Piazza del Duomo, is recognised as one of the most attractive in Sicily, while nearby Via Etnae is home to the city's most fashionable shops and bars.
