Arriving late in the evening into Catania airport at the end of a long day we just wanted to settle easily in to arriving Sicily and get our bearings. In that respect the Romano Palace is perfect within fifteen minutes of picking up our hire car at the airport we were turning into the hotel's gated grounds, and five minutes... More

We arrived 1pm as flight delayed. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel was lovely and very clean. We enjoyed breakfast there was a good variety and we got our first glimpse of Etna very nice!!! The shuttle bus service was excellent. It was a very pleasant stay thanks.

We booked with other Friends from Lebanon For few days and we loved it! very professional staff, excellent restaurant and a nice buffet in the morning. Very confortables rooms, the location is not the best, but is very close to the airport.

To say that Catania is not regarded as the most beautiful city in Sicily is doing it no injustice but thanks to this hotel it is definitely worth staying your first and last night here if you are flying into Catania airport. Having gone on a cheap holiday - splitting costs of a small villa between five of us -... More
