Katane Palace Hotel, Catania

The Katane Palace Hotel is located in central Catania, on the island of Sicily - a short walk from Piazza del Duomo and the shops and cafes of Via Etnae. It is a fine, four-star property with 58 reasonably-priced rooms, each with air conditioning, mini-bar, safety deposit box, satellite TV and internet and fax connections. The hotel has been tastefully furnished in marble, dark wood and subtle colours, and the bedrooms soundproofed to ensure guests have a comfortable night's sleep. Guests can enjoy refined Sicilian cuisine in the hotel's own restaurant, Il Cuciniere, or otherwise head out into Catania to sample fresh crustaceans in a fish restaurant or tasty snacks from a stand-up café-bar.

The island of Sicily has an unrivalled combination of beaches, scenery and captivating history, and the Catania province in the east of the island has more than its fair share of all three. The city of Catania is used most frequently as a base from which to visit Mount Etna, the area's star tourist attraction. It is only an hour by bus from here to the mountainside town of Nicolosi, from which the summit (or as near to the summit as is safely possible) can be reached. However, the city has much more to offer than simply the volcano. There is also a selection of fine museums, churches and theatres to explore, and the Piazza del Duomo is widely regarded as one of the most attractive town squares in the whole of Sicily. Fresh produce markets, fish from the harbour and locally grown citrus fruits make dining in Catania a satisfying experience, and the city is ideally located to reach the coastal towns of Siracusa (Syracuse) and Taormina for a change of scenery if so desired. This Catania hotel is superbly located for seeing the best of the city and the island of Sicily.
