Between the brooding presence of Mount Etna and the sparkling Ionian Sea, baroque splendour awaits in Piazza del Duomo. Marvel at the city's iconic elephant fountain before diving into the sensory overload of the Fish Market, where vendors banter with the same theatrical flair found at the opulent Massimo Bellini Theatre. Via Etnea offers retail therapy with volcano views, while Ursino Castle provides a medieval counterpoint to the city's predominantly baroque character. After dark, the university district transforms into a vibrant nightlife scene where tables spill onto ancient piazzas. Don't miss the chance to sample arancini from street vendors – these crispy rice balls reveal why Sicilians take their street food so seriously.

We absolutely loved our stay - we wished we had booked for more nights. It is a beautifully restored property. The rooms and dinning areas are emasculate.
