This property is in the PERFECT location for exploring the main sites of Catania, including the main squares, via Etna and the fish market. The host was super helpful and available via WhatsApp whenever needed. It's not a luxury property but the room was big, the bed was comfortable and it was fantastic value for money.

I needed a place to spend the night in Catania before taking a bus to Milazzo, and Palazzo Bicocca was perfect. The rooms are clean and have everything you need and its within a quick walk to so many great restaurants and my favorite wine bar.

Some highs and lows. AC unit leaked all over the spare bed but worked just fine. It was hot in town, so it was nice to have. The room was good, lots of towels. Smell of cigarette smoke in the hallway was really strong despite the rooms being “smoke free”. Great location, 10/10, very walkable. Host was responsive and offered many suggestions.

My stay here was beyond delightful. Staff was sooo helpful, from helping me book an airport transfer to helping me find stores and restaurants nearby. The response time was 24/7 and so fast. I can’t recommend it enough. The palazzo is BEAUTIFUL and so so so nice to just walk around and admire. Only thing is there are lots of stairs so be prepared. It wasn’t a problem for us at all though. It’s quick and easy to access the property. They also have complimentary espresso! Which is lovely for the morning before heading out to the town.
View when you enter the palazzo.

I’m very grateful for the property manager at Palazzo Bicocca Rooms. I had an excellent experience visiting Catania for the first time because of this great location. It is in the heart of the city, close to the Cathedral Basilica, Piazza Duomo, shopping, and dining galore. Any foodie would relish in the opportunity to sample the variety of restaurant choices all within this beautiful Sicilian town. My trip included an excursion to one of the most active volcanoes, Mount Etna, which included a food & wine tasting. I would not have taken this tour unless the property manager strongly suggested it! He is very knowledgeable of the area, kind, and willing to work with your needs.
