Asmundo di Gisira is a palazzo-turned-art-gallery hotel in central Catania, widely praised for its distinctive character, walkable location near the market and Piazza Duomo, and especially warm, attentive staff who assist with recommendations, logistics, and early check-ins.
Guests highlight generous, tasty breakfasts served on terraces and a scenic rooftop for drinks and views. Rooms are spacious, art-filled, and comfortable, with some balconies or standout views, though a few note firm beds and occasional noise—especially on weekends or in rooftop-adjacent rooms. Driving and parking can be tricky in the area, but overall, travellers report a memorable boutique stay.

Interior was very uniquely decorated. Tour of the common areas were included at check-in. Big plus, property has an elevator. Breakfast was delicious and nicely presented. Having breakfast on the terrace is a must do. Suggestion, pls provide an extra waste basket for living room, body lotion & hair conditioner. Thank you Daphne, Dani and the entire staff for a pleasant stay.

It was in an art gallery! Four stories and a rooftop right in the heart of city center- steps to the main Piazzos and the fish market. Every one of the staff was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, and especially our bartender, Luna breakfast and the bar were on the second story balcony. Rooms amazing and decorated w/artwork and antiques. The bed was comfortable and large, bathroom and amenities luxurious.

The property is a converted palazzo on a historic square. There are only a few rooms, but they're all well decorated with great views from the balcony. The bathroom is big and modern and the bed is comfortable. Two standout features are: 1. Cocktail hour on the roof at sunset. After the sun sets you can see the small red eruptions from Etna. 2. The breakfast is top-notch and served on a scenic balcony overlooking the square. We stayed in Catania only one night and regretted not staying longer. Next trip, this will definitely be our lodging.

What a wonderful experience in the center of town and near all. The hotel is a beautiful palace and art experience. Our balcony overlooked the square and the rooftop and garden deck were amazing to relax and drinks. So different boutique hotel. We loved it! We wish we stayed longer. It is not easy to drive to but worth the experience. We could park 5 min walk away.

The hotel has a perfect location right on Piazza Duomo. Very friendly and service-oriented staff, Excellent breakfast. We got a room at the top, the room was boringly decorated but clean and nice. An advantage was that outside the room there was a nice roof terrace with a lovely view. I can definitely recommend the hotel for a stay in Catania

It was a pleasant experience overall. The room was clean and the staff were nice and helpful. The transfer service from the hotel to the airport was great. Thank you. However, try not to book the room on the rooftop. The ceiling of the room is a seating area for the rooftop bar. There is noise until midnight or so. There is a public restroom next to the room, where people try to barge into the room thinking it is the restroom. Moreover the bathroom shares 3 windows with that public restroom. This may be a nice setup for other people, but it was not for me, unfortunately.

This was a wonderful and very cool art concept hotel. The staff was amazing and the location super convenient and close to all the things in Catania. We only stayed for one night and I do have to say the bed was rock hard and the pillows very thin. Also because it was a Saturday night there was a very loud party going on outside our window and we couldn’t sleep with all the noise. If we had been staying another night I would have asked to be moved to another room. But other then this we did really enjoy the hotel.

Most original and cool hotel where we’ve ever stayed. The staff was top-notched, very helpful and gracious. Location was excellent—next to the food and fish markets and walking distance to lots of main sights, restaurants and shopping. We stayed the night before a planned tour and liked it so much that we returned for a night after the tour and before flight home. During the second stay we heard some noise from goings on outside, but the first night’s stay was so quiet that we overslept our check-out time! Oops. Would have loved more time to enjoy the public spaces. Highly recommended!

The concierge service at this hotel is impeccable. Hotel arranged airport transportation to the hotel in a matter of minutes after I made the request. Response was courteous and very informative. Taxi service was professional and cost us a reasonable $35 euros We arrived early in the morning from a long international flight. Upon our arrival we were greeted by Dani. She not only made the check in process very easy and convenient but also informed us that our room was ready much early than expected. Our luggage was carried to the room where the air conditioning was already on. Later on we met Armando who helped us with restaurant suggestions and gave us valuable tips and information. The following morning we had some issues with car rental and transportation to our next destination. Armando took the time to make all necessary calls and solve an issue that could have been very stressful without his assistance. The hotel is a work of art , an experience in itself. All shops , restaurants and the very colorful Catania fish market are only steps away. We are avid travelers and this experience reaffirms our belief that professional and personalized service is what makes a hotel exceptional.

Valentina was amazing. She introduced herself to me on the stairs and asked me if she could help me in anyway. She then proceeded to show me the other two unique floors, explaining their histories and art. She also walked me to the rooftop bar, to show me the beautiful views. She went out of her way to be an inviting host!, Also, Dafne, at the front desk, was amazing with us. She arranged for a rental car to be delivered and picked up for us, explained where and how to safely park near the hotel, and helped my husband with charging his electronics! Our stay there was perfection, and the outdoor breakfasts were delicious, with a variety of choices.

Rooms amazing and decorated w/artwork and antiques. The bed was comfortable and large, bathroom and amenities luxurious.

Asmundo di Gisira Is a very unique hotel. It is perfectly situated for walking around town or accessing tour pickups. We felt like we were residents of a Sicilian castle filled with family heirlooms. The artwork throughout the hotel was both modern and classical. The staff were knowledgeable, friendly, and very helpful. We throughly enjoyed our stay and plan to return soon!

We had a fantastic stay. The hospitality was outstanding from start to finish. Communication was clear and helpful both before and during our trip. They went above and beyond by accommodating our very early check-in and helping us navigate the local area. The setting inside an art gallery made the experience truly special, and the price was very reasonable for the quality. I'd live there if we could. Highly recommend!

Loved this place. Funky art-filled restored palazzo. Very friendly and helpful staff. Delicious generous breakfast. Location is just off a pretty plaza, easy walking distance to the sights and restaurants. Wish we had more days here.

The hotel has a perfect location right on Piazza Duomo. Very friendly and service-oriented staff, Excellent breakfast. We got a room at the top, the room was boringly decorated but clean and nice. An advantage was that outside the room there was a nice roof terrace with a lovely view. I can definitely recommend the hotel for a stay in Catania

It was in an art gallery! Four stories and a rooftop right in the heart of city center- steps to the main Piazzos and the fish market. Every one of the staff was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, and especially our bartender, Luna breakfast and the bar were on the second story balcony. Rooms amazing and decorated w/artwork and antiques. The bed was comfortable and large, bathroom and amenities luxurious.

absolutely amazing place, its not like any other hotel stay its an experience. Staff, cleanliness, position, breakfast, rooms perfect. If you into art or just like nice things around you this place is a visual overload. If your staying in Catania this is the hotel to pick.

Did a quick overnight at a very eclectic spot. Could double as an art museum in a very old mansion with newly renovated rooms. Close to a very busy part of the city with Restraunts and nightlife close by. Streets were packed with action a few blocks away but not close enough to bother us.

This was a wonderful and very cool art concept hotel. The staff was amazing and the location super convenient and close to all the things in Catania. We only stayed for one night and I do have to say the bed was rock hard and the pillows very thin. Also because it was a Saturday night there was a very loud party going on outside our window and we couldn’t sleep with all the noise. If we had been staying another night I would have asked to be moved to another room. But other then this we did really enjoy the hotel.

There was no where to park the car when we arrived. We had to fend for ourselves, although it is a walkable area we needed to park the car and had to go searching for a spot. Not very convenient when you have a luggage

What a wonderful experience in the center of town and near all. The hotel is a beautiful palace and art experience. Our balcony overlooked the square and the rooftop and garden deck were amazing to relax and drinks. So different boutique hotel. We loved it! We wish we stayed longer. It is not easy to drive to but worth the experience. We could park 5 min walk away.

The property is a converted palazzo on a historic square. There are only a few rooms, but they're all well decorated with great views from the balcony. The bathroom is big and modern and the bed is comfortable. Two standout features are: 1. Cocktail hour on the roof at sunset. After the sun sets you can see the small red eruptions from Etna. 2. The breakfast is top-notch and served on a scenic balcony overlooking the square. We stayed in Catania only one night and regretted not staying longer. Next trip, this will definitely be our lodging.
