Asmundo di Gisira, Catania Hotels
Artistic boutique hotel providing spacious rooms, an immersive Sicilian culture experience, and a rooftop with city views
Asmundo di Gisira presents itself as a captivating, art-focused boutique hotel, gracefully situated in Piazza Mazzini, a location once hailed as the most beautiful square in all of Catania. This remarkable establishment boasts a rich history, having risen resiliently from the devastation of the 1693 earthquake. The hotel itself is housed within a striking black Baroque building, a testament to the skill and vision of the greatest architects of that era. Its prime location allows guests to effortlessly immerse themselves in the city’s cultural tapestry, placing them within a mere three-minute stroll of iconic landmarks such as the ancient Roman Columns and the historically significant Giovanni Verga’s House Museum. Furthermore, the majestic facade of the Duomo and the grand Ferdinandea gate are both easily visible from the hotel’s vantage point, further enriching the experience.
The hotel offers a selection of spacious suites, each thoughtfully designed to provide guests with the utmost comfort and aesthetic pleasure. A key feature of each suite is a private balcony, offering picturesque and inspiring views of the surrounding streets, including Via Dottore, Via Auteri, and the namesake, Via Gisira. Stepping inside these rooms, guests will discover a harmonious blend of modern and traditional furnishings, seamlessly interwoven with quirky and artsy decor, creating an ambiance that is both inviting and visually stimulating. Every room is appointed with a generously sized bathroom, equipped with luxurious waterfall showerheads. The decor emphasizes chromotherapy, incorporating the therapeutic use of color to enhance relaxation and well-being. Finally, hypoallergenic duvets and pillows ensure a restful and comfortable night’s sleep for all guests. For those seeking an elevated experience, upgraded suites provide enhanced amenities such as a private gym for maintaining fitness routines and a soothing whirlpool for ultimate relaxation.
Beyond the luxurious accommodations offered within each room, Asmundo di Gisira offers further opportunities for exploration and enrichment. Guests are invited to explore the antique shop, aptly named “Antiche Mura,” located on the hotel’s ground floor, where they can discover unique and historical treasures. Additionally, a permanent exhibition showcasing a diverse collection of contemporary art is also housed on the ground floor, providing a stimulating cultural experience. Ascending to the third floor, guests will find the “Rooftop Gisira,” an exceptional space that offers a sensory experience unlike any other. Here, amidst the historic tiles of Sicilian rooftops, visitors can enjoy breathtaking views overlooking the colorful lanes of the historic center, creating a perfect blend of tradition and innovation that encapsulates the essence of Catania.

With unparalleled culture, art, architecture, food, and wine, Italy offers the quintessential European vacation. For travelers who haven’t yet made it to Italy, it’s time to see what la dolce vita is all about. And for those that have it's time to say "ancora"!
When is the best time to visit?
Italy is incredible year round, but since it is an internationally iconic place to visit, expect crowds at the premier tourist destinations from spring through fall, and during holidays when people are more likely to travel. If you have the flexibility, try and visit during the less crowded winter and early shoulder seasons.
Where should I go in Italy?
Rome, Florence, and Venice belong on every traveler’s bucket list. Visitors with a little more time should also see the Amalfi Coast, Pompeii, Naples, Milan, the Cinque Terre, Sicily—the list of places to visit in Italy has no end.
How many days do I need?
A week is barely enough to hit the main attractions in Italy, but it is doable. Stay for up to a month or more to truly savor the whole experience as well as the food and wine. And no matter how long you stay, you'll surely want to return for your next visit.
Getting around Italy
Trains are a great option for trips between Italy's cities, such as Florence to Rome and Milan to Venice. Driving is not always straightforward, but still a great choice if you feel comfortable taking the wheel along Italy's Autostrada and curvy roads. Other options include domestic flights and ferries.
