Il Gattopardo House

I really enjoyed my stay. Gaetano and the staff are super friendly and hospitable. I arrived early and because my room was ready I could check in early, so nice! Gaetano also arranged an airport transfer for me when I left which was seamless. I stayed in a “superior double” room and the ceiling and tiles were beautiful. The bedding was very comfortable and the room was nice and quiet. The breakfast was abundant and the breakfast dining room so cool with all of its adornments. The location is great for a visit to Catania. I hope to return!

This is a nice hotel, staffed by really nice people which I can highly recommend. I was there for 7 nights altogether and was very happy. My room (104) was huge and faced onto Etna street. I didn't have time to sit on the balcony and watch all the people walk by - maybe I'll come back to do that. There are 3 layers of doors on the window so they successfully blocked street noise at night. The hotel is a converted apt building and there are steps sometimes where you don't expect them. This is all part of the charm unless you've maybe had a little to drink, in which case slow down and use your phone for illumination.

Gapardo House is simply a wonderful hotel, located in a perfect position, right in the center, where you have everything nearby to explore. The hotel is exceptionally clean and offers spacious and comfortable rooms. One of the highlights is the rich breakfast, with a wide variety of options from all kinds of foods. The tranquility inside is remarkable, thanks to the triple-glazed windows that block out all outside noise, ensuring a restful sleep on the soft and comfortable mattresses. Furthermore, the hospitality of Giovani was outstanding, welcoming us warmly and kindly. Definitely book this hotel, and you will be very satisfied!

The location is ACE. Seriously, I can see few better. You’re literally off the heart of Via Etna and yet the street is quiet. I had a room with an outside bathroom. Both were immaculately clean. Good water pressure for the shower and hot water anytime. Hair dryer provided too. Honestly the walk from my room to the bathroom is not that big a deal and I knew it was separate going in. The bed was SO comfortable! Not too hard nor too soft. Pillows also very good, in that vein of being perfectly medium. There’s an extra duvet in the roomy closet as the floor tiles are cold. You can put heating on though: there’s an AC unit with directions for best and cold. I didn’t turn it on so I don’t know how well it heats. Desk in the room to work as well if you wish. The room fridge is benefit and the host kindly offers gratis a cooled bottle of water and a soda in there. Definitely comfortable for solo traveler or a couple for a few nights. Wifi was overall great for uploading photos and videos on social but a bit iffy with video calls. Absolutely gorgeous salon/parlour!

It was in an excellent location, just off Via Etna which connects you to the historics sights, shopping and restaurants yet quiet. The rooms are in a heritage building, yet have all the modern conveniences. The room was large with a broad luggage rack, a spacious closet, fridge, a clean comfortable bathroom, kettle etc.
