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.

The Hotel Mediterraneo has 63 large and bright rooms fitted with every comfort.

Furnished with taste and simplicity, the rooms welcome guests with warm, bright colours typical of the Mediterranean. Each room has a private bathroom with shower or bath tub.

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