HOTEL CENTRALE EUROPA, Catania – A Smart Stay in the City

Hotel Centrale Europa is set right opposite Piazza Duomo in the heart of Catania's historic center. The 3-storey building is a protected architectural treasure that was once a stop on the Grand Tour.

Many rooms offer direct views of Piazza Duomo and the Elephant Fountain. Some rooms include a private balcony overlooking the cathedral. Rooms are cleaned daily and are fitted with soundproof windows to reduce street noise at night.

The building has no lift, but staff will carry luggage to upper floors. Allergy-free rooms are available on request. Pets are allowed, and the hotel offers facilities for disabled guests.
