Asmundo Gisira Art of Living Boutique Market

This hotel, located in a palazzo, is really unique for its eclectic art collection. You would not expect such a place behind the graffiti facade. Our room was upgraded to the suite on the top floor, which was a very spatious and highly originally decorated floor with a surprise painting in the bedroom. Our daughters too enjoyed their room for its unique decoration and its space. Toiletries are from Ortigia di Sicilia. Breakfast is not a buffet but served at the table. It had everything we needed including freshly squeezed juice and eggs made acc to your wishes. Staff at reception and onboarding was super friendly and helpful!

What an amazing place to stay! From walking through the huge doors you are greeted by an open staircase. Even the reception area is elaborately decorated with so much to see.|We were shown to our room on the top floor. It was bright and clean and the bathroom was huge with a bath and a shower! |There is so much to see on each floor, artworks everywhere, look around a few times or you will miss something!|Breakfast on the veranda was such a wonderful experience, so much delicious food served by some lovely waitresses. Watching Catania wake up whilst enjoying breakfast was so lovely.|The bed was comfortable and we both slept well. |We only stayed in Catania so that we could take a trip to Mount Etna, I wish we could have spent longer at Asmundo di Gisira and enjoyed all that it has to offer. |Street noise could be an issue but I wore ear plugs (husband didn’t) so it didn’t bother me.

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. Highly recommend!

Absolutely!! We loved our stay. Our room was absolutely beautiful, comfortable with two balconies. Our room was the Writer’s Room. The artwork, the decor throughout, the delicious , and beautiful presentation of the breakfast was so special. Three tiers of delicious goodies, and made to order coffee and eggs. The breakfast staff provided personal attention and friendly service. So do attentive!!|Now, the personal and excellent service from the front desk staff. They were amazing. Dafne communicated directly with my husband before our trip and provided all the necessary details. Once we met her she was also very helpful, friendly, and attentive to us. Her colleague was also excellent. He ( we forgot his name) was also very attentive. Excellent staff and a beautiful place that will always be very memorable in our hearts. |Also, a very convenient location to walk to different destinations.

This hotel is beautiful, with an attentive staff and a GREAT location, steps from the Duomo and the vibrant market (Get the cone of fried fish at Scirroco!). Our room was enormous and beautiful. If we had one quibble it is the lack of table space. I don't know about the rest of you but we have a bunch of stuff that winds up on a flat surface -- phones, receipts, wallets, chargers, hats. There was no place for that to accumulate.

A truly unique and beautiful place. We stayed in one of the hotel's rooms named "tempo", which was absolutely charming. The original details and overall atmosphere gave the place a lot of character and soul – it felt more like a home than a hotel. The staff were incredibly kind, and the location is very central, making it easy to explore Catania. We’ll definitely stay here again the next time we visit the city.

Stayed for 1 night recently with my wife and felt compelled to write a positive review. If you like modern art you will love this place as the suites and common areas are full of it. Location in the centre of Catania and front reception desk service are second to none. Great value for money too

We had a wonderful stay here for one night when we arrived in Sicily after a long day of travel. While it is a little tricky to get to if you are driving (due to certain roads becoming pedestrian-only in the evening), the staff was incredibly helpful with assisting us in directions and finding a place to park just a 5-minute walk away. It was a little loud with people out and about late at night, but that’s to be expected with the great location by a main square. Also, the breakfast spread was fantastic. Would definitely recommend staying here while in Catania!
