The proprietors of Al Duomo run their small inn as a “vocation” in almost a religious sense, with an exceptional dedication to their guests’ wellbeing. The rooms are impeccably clean, and Max goes way beyond what one normally expects to ensure that your entire experience in Catania goes as planned. Given the unexpected nature of international travel, Al Duomo offers more than just a room. It provides a great sense of orientation for getting on with the trip while making the most of Catania. Its central location with great street life and food makes for a very good stay.

We stayed 4 nights at the Inn & it was an amazing experience!! From the property’s location, to the clean, large & well appointed rooms with a high ceiling & louvered window coverings. The amenities in the bathroom, a mini bar (very reasonable prices) & a safe. Max & his sister have thought of everything to make their guests feel welcome & comfortable - from self-serve coffee in the lobby & cookies, easily accessible guide books & brochures, breakfast coupon for purchase at a restaurant just around the corner & even after you’ve checked out - the opportunity to safely store your luggage in the lobby until you depart. Max went above and beyond recommending great places to eat, sights to see & even booked tours on our behalf. Max is passionate about his city & it shows! We’ll soon be returning to Catania & the Il Duomo Inn B&B.

Centro Palermo is a noisy & high energy area - lots & lots of folks on the street until very late. If you’re a light sleeper like me, bring your earplugs you’ll sleep like a baby.

Uncomfortable and very noisy

It's really noisy outside. People drinking, singing, and screaming on Saturday and Sunday... I couldn't sleep well. I already knew that they clean once every two days, but they also provide towels once every two days. There were a lot of bugs here and there and overall it was not comfortable.

Our street side first level room was appreciated for not requiring us to haul heavy luggage up steps. Convenience to historical sights, cafes and the fish market is a key reason to stay here. The owner was very communicative and willing to help if needed. Nightlife is noisy in Catania, but we slept well despite the noise. The room was spacious and had a refrigerator, comfy bed, AC, and nice shower. On a Sunday, we easily found an Uber to the airport with less than 25 minutes travel time. A gate plus deadbolt on the door made the room feel secure. Ample lighting and outlets.
