Stayed 4 nights here during our honeymoon. Staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, hotel was stunning and the breakfast was easily the best hotel breakfast I could imagine offering a wide selection of eggs, jams, pastries, meat, cheese and drinks. Location provided easy walking to anything we wanted to do during our stay. The area and hotel felt very safe, although it was quite loud at night since it’s in City Center. We slept fine with white noise playing on the TV!! Will definitely be recommending this hotel to any friends or family visiting Catania and we will hopefully be returning!!

Amazing place. Historic palazzo with art exhibits and careful attention to design, history and art throughout.
On arrival warm welcome and guided tour of the establishment plan to spend 15-20 minutes learning about this amazing property.
Location in the middle of city center walk to everything and easy transit to the airport (but look it up first, they are 10 minute walk to the interbus bus stop not the central station).
Definitely worth what we paid and a good place if you want to discover Catania just before or after your flight. We had a lovely stay.

We just finished our second stay at Asmundo di Gisira, and honestly, it was even better than the first. Right in the heart of the bustling Catania Market, this boutique hotel captures the true spirit of Sicily. From the moment we arrived, we felt so welcomed—the staff are incredibly friendly and make you feel right at home. The rooms are absolutely stunning with their high ceilings and large windows that let in tons of natural light. They're luxurious and spacious, making it so easy to relax. The art throughout the hotel changes regularly, which keeps things fresh and interesting every time we visit.

One of the highlights was a special rooftop event we got invited to—a private wine tasting with live music and dancing. It was such an over-the-top experience and made our stay unforgettable. If I could, I'd move in permanently! Asmundo di Gisira is hands down my favorite place to stay in Sicily, and I can't recommend it enough. Thank you to the owners and the staff for a great stay.

We stayed at the hotel for 5 nights while in Catania for a conference. The hotel and the room were beautiful with lots of interesting artwork. The rooftop bar and the breakfast terrace offer amazing views. The hotel itself is fairly small and the staff were so friendly and attentive. The breakfast offers a good selection of continental food, pastries and fruits. The location is very central with easy walking access to shops and main attractions. If you’re staying in Catania, I highly recommend here!

Great location, lovely decorations, spacious room, and very helpful staff.

Stayed here for 3 nights during the family Christmas vacation with the in-laws and we thoroughly enjoyed it!

We were a group of 7 with 4 rooms so we practically had a whole floor to ourselves. Each room had a unique decoration and vibe to it. The common areas were also covered by art pieces and paintings from local artists. This is THE place if arts are your thing!

The breakfast area also has water for you to refill your bottle and also local Italian liquor for you to enjoy (e.g., limoncello).

The staff were super friendly and helpful.

Also did I mention the breakfast? They were quite good with good varieties such as Italian breakfast pastries, ham and cheese, fruits, and of course coffees! They even prepare eggs on demand which is nice for a boutique hotel like this.

Overall, we had a great experience here and would highly recommend it.
