The exterior of the building looks more like an apartment building, but once you are inside the door of the hotel area, everything changes. My only complaint is about the outside, as there was a lot of trash out front. Inside everything was clean and the device was very good and well organized. This hotel is very close to a lot of things you can walk to. I recommend staying here.

The hosts were excellent, responsive. The rooms were clean and well appointed and maintained. The included breakfast was fantastic with far more food than we could eat and it was all delicious. My only complaint was the A/C was not working in our room, and it was pretty warm for September. Our friends across the hall said theirs worked great and their room was very comfortable. There is parking and it was safe off the street for a small extra fee, about a 5 minute walk from the property.

Conveniently located in central Catania - close enough to everything but in a quiet street. Rooms are spotless and spacious with excellent furnishings. Air conditioned, which is welcome when you get out of the 30+ degree heat.
Staff extremely friendly & helpful. Restaurant recommendations are provided too - covering all types. Breakfast can be ordered to your room or a voucher for a local café.
One cautionary word. This property is located at the top of steps (or a hill) so be careful with the route you choose to get there if using Google Maps from the central bus or railway stations.
Highly recommended!

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.

The staff were absolutely amazing! The room generous and beautiful! Really felt like staying in a beautiful Italian home. Bed super comfy. Water pressure great. Super clean. Giuseppe was outstanding - over and above helping us to get parking and helping us to get our suitcases up the stairs. Great stopover on our way to Noto.

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.

Overall very good. Very helpful when asked in lovely area with good restaurants and well located to see the sights. Only downside was asking how to open the doors and how to use the safe. Breakfast was a treat in itself masses of very interesting things to eat from the mixed option

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.

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.

Beautiful room wish we could have stayed longer. Guiseppe was very friendly and helpful. Super clean and good facilities. Would have been nice to have coffee making facilities but no matter as lots of places nearby to get a coffee although a coffee in bed to start the day is always nice

Giuseppe, the property manager, was extremely helpful, going out of his way to help us with change for the parking meter and a lost passport. The breakfast was generous and delicious and the rooms very clean and well decorated. I highly recommend this B&B.

Great place to stay for a 3 star property. It’s right in the heart of Centro Catania on a quiet street. Don’t be put off by the street …it’s typical Sicilian with graffiti & trash. That’s Sicily! Be careful with watching tv in the room. I was traveling alone so at night I was watching Netflix or Prime in the room. I wound up with a $500 bill for that! Book with breakfast…it’s delivered to your room and to die for!
2.0
Located in the historic district the surrounding streets are quite an adventure to navigate, and the outside of the building is not the most welcoming.
Inside the room was spacious and comfortable. The shower was great, a rain shower with a seat to allow sitting under the rainfall!
Breakfast was served in the room, and was very generous and varied.
The city of Catania is a great place to visit.

Big and quite room. Very comfortable bed

Giuseppe and his team provided a great service. We arrived early and our room was ready on arrival. Continental breakfast was served in our room each day including accommodating for an early tour start which was slightly before normal breakfast time.
The room was clean and spacious and very close to the centre of Catania. Would recommend this to anyone taking a short trip to catania.
