I stayed here with my mother in one on their suites. Such a lovely room. The city Catania has quite a bit of graffiti. Don't let that fool you. As a creative I can appreciate the vibe of the city. I noticed a lot of review were about the outside. Anyways, the staff left me a very detailed explanation of how to get into the building and where everything was. They were very punctual in replying back to me. The room was stunning. Breakfast was included in my package. They brought it to our room and we got to decide what time was best. One of the employees organized a tour of Mount Etna for us. The tour was amazing. We ended up quading up Mt Etna and having a tasting tour. Everything was fantastic. I would absolutely recommend staying here for anyone.

Helpful staff, amazing breakfast , great location
Very helpful message before arrival explaining how to gain entry to the building , how to order breakfast etc. The outside street would benefit from anti graffiti paint, but once inside the B and B , it is beautiful and elegant . Staff are very friendly and helpful . Breakfast is amazing , delivered to your room at your requested time . Very convenient location - next to the university law facility , many very good restaurants nearby and very close to all the main sites of the city .

Our stay at Palazzo Cerami was wonderful and Guiseppe and the team looked after our needs perfectly. Their breakfast is one of the best I've ever had so I would recommend taking the breakfast option if available. Centrally located and within walking distance of old town Catania with tonnes of restaurants on the doorstep.

A beautiful place to stay!
A wonderful stay in a beautifully elegant palazzo. Don’t be put off by the exterior, once inside this a a charming and gracious place to stay. Also very central to the best of Catania, yet totally quiet in our room at night. Breakfasts are delicious and plentiful. Highly recommended.

When we arrived at the front door of Palazzo Cerami and we weren’t sure what to think. Don’t let first impressions fool you. However, once inside we fell in love with this renovated property with a unique history. Our room was spacious and tastefully decorated. The staff were divine and so helpful. Always contactable on WhatsApp. You have to order breakfast the day before and you will not be disappointed. Delicious local produce, brought straight to your room at your time of choosing. Nothing was too much trouble. When you come out of the B&B, turn right and immediately in front of you as some steps that lead down to some delicious local trattorias. Reasonably priced and delicious. If you continue down, you will reach the main shopping Street, Via Etna, If you look to your left, you will see Etna standing proudly in the distance. We felt very safe in Catania. Very little tourists during the month of May and you are mainly mixing with locals. We did not have one bad meal and all very, very reasonably priced. We stayed at Palazzo Cerami for four nights and we used it as a base to visit TaorMina, Etna, Monica, Siracusa and Ortiga. Highly recommended it.

Owner and staff were extremely nice and helpful. Both speaking English very well and eager to help. The only downfall to this beautiful property is there is no elevator so factor that in if you have heavy luggage with you. You will need to carry it up 2 long flights of stairs.

Sure, here’s a sample review: My stay at Palazzo Cerami was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I arrived, the host greeted me warmly, ensuring I felt immediately at home. The property itself was stunning—immaculately clean, beautifully decorated, and equipped with all amenities one could wish for, for instance the bathroom so modern with a wonderful shower and very comfortable place to relax after a long trip! What truly set this experience apart was the level of service. The host went above and beyond, providing detailed local insights, recommendations, and ensuring any questions or needs were promptly addressed. Small touches, like refreshments available with a minimum charge added an extra layer of thoughtfulness. Needless to say the breakfast service was Amazing! The attention to detail throughout the property was evident, from the cozy linens to the carefully curated decor. Each space felt inviting and comfortable, creating a serene atmosphere that made my stay truly memorable. I can’t recommend Palazzo Cerami highly enough—it’s a perfect blend of exceptional service and a beautiful property, making it a standout choice for anyone looking for a truly remarkable stay.

We had an excellent stay at Palazzo Cerami. It's very well located and a lovely space for a very reasonable price. The rooms have nice showers and charming little balconies and in general have a luxurious feeling without too many frills. We had been traveling Sicily for a week and this was by far the best service we encountered. The concierge Giuseppe was very friendly and went above and beyond to answer any questions, helping us reserve a tour to Mount Etna, as well as a taxi to the airport, and was very accommodating about bringing us breakfast (which was excellent and extravagant) at an earlier requested time, so that we could make it to an early tour. We were sent frequent updates via text message and check in and communication was very easy. The hotel is within easy walking distance of all the sights and was all in all a great experience.

This property was a surprise. No curb appeal at all. Neighborhood seemed unsafe to us. Tons of graffiti, seemed located in a back alley. No tourists around. We asked to cancel and get our refund. I make bookings all the time with no refund policies but have never had a problem. We were told to contact Expedia for the refund which we did. They called the hotel and then agreed the room was what we paid for and satisfactory. We left without staying and without our money. We spoke to other couples who lost money on bookings because they didn’t want to stay in less than what was promised accommodations. I guess our safety is not a consideration. Sad to say give Palazzo Cerami a miss and save your money. We have pictures of the surroundings- not where I would stay. Check your refund policies before you book.

Excellent small hotel
This small but perfectly formed hotel is right in the centre of Catania but in a quiet street so no problem with noise. Our room was beautiful with a high ceiling and floor to ceiling window leading to a small balcony over the street. Very comfortable bed, good bathroom. The host was extremely welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. The breakfast was immense and varied, and all nicely presented.
