Palazzo San Demetrio is an impressive structure that has housed some of the region's most important families. Allow time to view it for yourself.

This historic stately house is on the to-do lists of many travelers to Catania City Centre. But Palazzo San Demetrio isn't the area's only drawcard. Catania Cathedral, Ursino Castle, and Elephant Fountain are some other interesting attractions nearby.

8.4/10 Very Good! (5 reviews)

It was a beautiful area, near the beach and cable car which takes you up to the city. The only issue I had was the mattress was really overly firm for my liking, but that was my preference. The breakfast was wonderful and sitting on the veranda and looking over the water completed the visit.
