Choose from single, twin, double or triple rooms. Almost all the rooms have a pretty balcony.

Food and beverages

The hotel offers a rich, inclusive breakfast, prepared with a selection of fresh and wholesome local produce.

The hotel does not have a restaurant on its premises, but it is possible to reach the Via Etnea area in 10 minutes on foot, where you will find a selection of restaurants serving typical Italian and Sicilian cooking on the main street in Catania.

Area information

The Hotel Mediterraneo is very close to Via Etnea, at the heart of Catania, one of the symbolic cities of Sicilian baroque.

Just a short distance from the hotel are some of the most artistically and culturally interesting places in Catania: the Roman Amphitheatre; the Villa Bellini gardens; Via dei Crociferi, overlooked by a series of magnificent baroque palaces; and Piazza Duomo, with the Chapel of St. Agatha, where a valuable treasure is stored and carried in a procession every year during the celebrations in honor of the city's patron saint (3rd, 4th and 5th February).

The Benedictine Monastery is also an essential visit, nowadays home to the Faculty of Arts, the St. Julian Church, one of the most beautiful in Catania, and Ursino Castle, the only building to survive the earthquake in 1693.

The Hotel Mediterraneo is also an ideal base for excursions out of town: Caltagirone, the town famous for its ceramics; Taormina; Siracusa; Piazza Armerina; and the slopes of Etna, surrounded by luscious vegetation, typically found in this area.
